Flow

I never thought I’d say this, but Flow puts Things to shame. I’m not trying to be mean to the guys behind Things – they’ve done a great job and Things has served me well – but, Flow is just that good. The intuitiveness of the entire app – from organization, delegation and commenting to aesthetic, speed, keyboard shortcuts, web app, and desktop companion Mac app – makes this the best productivity app I have ever used. l’m hesitant to take a jab at two startup icons in one post, but I think Flow even kicks Basecamp’s ass. (Eeeks, did I really just say that?) I think the funniest part is that this is one of the few productivity apps I have seen that doesn’t juxtapose itself to Basecamp in their marketing. (Probably a good lesson for me in there somewhere.)

The only thing that was a little tough for me to digest was the $10/month per user fee. But, considering, first, I am committed to abandoning free services where better paid ones exist, and, second, I pre-paid for a year ($99) and got 2 months free, and, third, the app is helping me organize every area of my life, well, those three things have staved off any potential buyers remorse I might have felt otherwise. Do the trial. I think you’ll love it. I couldn’t be happier with it.
