This provides a very useful workflow enhancement when handing off a project to someone else for further work. Excellent little application from Digital Heaven.

Multi-touch

Update: There’s a newer video at “Multitouch will revolutionize your computer”. This is certainly something we’ll see in one form or another in Mac OS X pretty soon. — Apple let the iPhone out of the box today… and wow! It’s a revolution, especially on the UI side. So now we know where the multi-touch [...]

The race for the best Mac GTD app is still on, and today we had a new version of Inbox (1.0.5) out, and yesterday OmniFocus showed the first screenshots of upcoming GTD app OmniFocus in a get-together at MacWorld in San Francisco. TUAW has one (heh, one???) screenshot, which looks promising. I’m sure Merlin Mann [...]
