Thinking Rock is a free software application for collecting and processing your thoughts following the GTD methodology. It is simple and easy to use - see our demos and manual.

A lot of our mental energy is directed towards trying to remember and manage all the things that we want or need to do. Thinking Rock will allow you to clear your mind so that you can become more proactive and concentrate on what is important to you.

Thinking Rock allows you to collect your thoughts and process them into actions, projects, reference items or someday/maybe items. Actions can be done by you, delegated to someone else or scheduled for a particular date. Projects can be organised with ordered actions and sub-projects. You can review all of your actions, projects and other information quickly and easily to see what you need to do or to choose what you want to do at a particular time.

Why we recommend Thinking Rock:

  • Multi-platform: use it at home and at work, written in Java thus run on Linux, Macintosh, or Windows (see platform requirements). The data file is separate so you can transfer the small data file between computers using an USB key or email;
  • User Feedback and User reviews. Very good feedback from users: it changed their life, allowed them to at last implement GTD, best GTD tool they found, etc. On average there are 300 downloads a day but at the beginning of 2008, we had 500 downloads a day - must be the new year resolution of many people! (see the stats on SourceForge);
  • Future: more functionality to be implemented based on users suggestions and our own ideas;
  • Project Structure: unlike many task management applications, Thinking Rock lets you group your actions in projects and sub-projects. Two views are available to display your tasks: a project tree or a list of actions. Even auto-sequencing!
  • Stop procrastination: it gets you moving on your thoughts by encouraging you to think of the next physical action to do;
  • Manual and screen help provided;
  • Free customer support through our forum or email (use contact page);
  • It's free.
If you don't have time to DOWNLOAD and use this software then you really need it.
