Gubb - Take Control of Your Lists This entry has a rating of 4

Gubb.net - Home Page Glamor ShotIf you’re anything like me, your to-do list is ever expanding and never ending. After trying a number of online solutions for managing tasks I’ve settled in with Gubb, a lightweight and intuitive web app that focuses on capturing and organizing all of your lists. While Gubb offers a beautifully simple interface, it also offers a host of advanced features providing a wealth of options for accessing your information.

What you can use it for:

  • Track your goals, actions, and calls in a centralized location accessible from virtually any computer or mobile internet device
  • Implement David Allen’s “Getting Things Done” (GTD) methodology without cumbersome computer-based software
  • Remind yourself to get your car’s oil changed using email and SMS text message alerts
  • Add your daily actions to your calendar if it supports the iCal protocol (Mac computers, Google Calendar, etc.)


Pro’s:

  • Quick learning curve, simple interface
  • Powerful email, RSS, calendar and SMS text messaging options for remembering and accessing your lists
  • Ability to share lists among other users making it useful for group projects and delegating activities
  • Light version for use on your iPhone or similar device
  • Understands natural language commands such as “due next Friday”
  • Ability to export your data means you’re not locked into Gubb if you change your mind


Con’s:

  • Printing lists leaves much to be desired
  • Users with hundreds of list items may find the interface somewhat less efficient than other solutions
