Go For It! is a simple and stylish productivity app, featuring a to-do list, merged with a timer that keeps your focus on the current task. More information for end users can be found here.
The following video explains the workflow of Go For It!:
To-do lists are stored in the Todo.txt format. This simplifies synchronization with mobile devices and makes it possible to edit tasks using other Todo.txt front-ends (e.g. the official apps for Android or iOS or the alternative Android client Simpletask). A comprehensive tutorial about setting up Go For It! with Simpletask can be found here.
If you already use Todo.txt, beware of the fact, that Go For It! automatically archives completed tasks to the done list!
I maintain a Launchpad PPA which can be used to acquire .deb packages. On Ubuntu (+ derivates) it is recommended to add the PPA for automatic updates:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:go-for-it-team/go-for-it-daily && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install go-for-it
Build it with makepkg or use your favorite aur helper.
Flatpak packages support multiple distributions and are sandboxed.
Stable releases are hosted on Flathub:
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak install flathub de.manuel_kehl.go-for-it
The Windows version is available for download here.
A macOS Version may follow in the future.
