Product Description:

Kinkless GTD is a free set of AppleScripts that work with OmniOutliner Pro to create a framework for implementing David Allen’s Getting Things Done task-management methodology.

What's new in this version:

New Core Features

No more separate delete button. To delete a task, simply delete any "view" of it (Project, Action, iCal) and on sync all "views" are removed
You can now edit any task in any view (Projects, Actions, iCal) and changes are updated to all views
New single-tasks ability (tasks that are not part of any project)
New task entry syntax for the Quicksilver action to make adding tasks with contexts to any specific project fast and easy
You can now rename contexts in the Actions section by simply renaming them
No more "super-project" vs "standard-project" modes. A subtask with a context can take "child rows". If those child rows have no context they are treated as notes. If they have contexts then the subtask becomes a subproject
Tasks now age. After a user set time period tasks will be highlighted as "old". Two age periods are possible, default age periods set to one and two months
Completed tasks are now time stamped with the completed date (upon sync) in the notes field
Tasks now auto archive after a user set period of time (default one day). I like to see tasks that are completed for a bit after I complete them so I have a sense of progress. This feature allows that to occur and then shuffles the completed tasks into the archive after whatever period I choose.
Can temporarily prevent projects from being synchronized (turning them "off")
kGTD now does it’s best to respect user assigned styles
Projects now auto-sort by name in the Projects section
Contexts now auto-sort by name in the Actions section
Next Actions now bubble up to the top of context lists in the Actions section
Deleting a column (e.g. the start or due date column) now turns off that setting automatically
Most everything can now be renamed "normally" in OmniOutliner without special settings
There are now, by default, visible daily backups. Each time you sync the current daily backup is updated with a current snapshot of the pre-sync state. Any problem on a sync can immediately be rectified by rolling back to the current daily backup or a previous day’s backup. Backups can be user set to be hidden files and daily backups can be turned off in settings.
Templatable "new project" snippets. Make a commonly used project or mini-project in the "Templates" section of kGTD and when you click the new button, you’ll get a list of them, allowing you to easily add common task sequences.

New iCal Features

Todos can now be set to have an alarm with user determined values
kGTD now supports an optional "priority" column that can sync with iCal (if you do not use the priority column, next action tasks are given an elevated priority relative to non-next-action tasks)
As mentioned above, iCal tasks can be renamed, dates changed, notes added, etc. and these changes will update the kGTD task
New ways to easily generate iCal calendars for all contexts (or a single calendar with all tasks)
Calendar colors can be "pre-set" in kGTD by setting the font or background color of the calendar rows in kGTD settings

Still working? - Version: 0.83.0, 1/28/2008 12:00AM PST

Severin

is this script still working with omni outliner. i loved it, but it is not working for me any more.

i am getting the following error message:

AppleScript reported the following error:
Invalid date and time date Sunday, December 30, 2007 6:33:51 PM.

did kinkless disable this script intentionally to have people move over to the omni focus, or is there something wrong with my program?

If you've read GTD, this is a great way to implement "next actions" and decluttering your brain.

Also, it's an impressive Applescript "tour de force". Very nice work! My only complaint (hard to do for free, excellent software) is that it's only scantily documented.
