Had the same problem. Several solutions: Task Changer TITANIUM, adds a Alt+Tab functionality as overlay screen button, so you can switch between 2 apps with one screen swipe like hitting a keyboard shortcut. Dock4Droid, touching screen on the margin yield pop up bar with recent and favorite apps SwipePad, similar to Dock4Droid All these apps make it ...

Have a look at http://www.todotxt.com/ This set of tools starts from a simple txt file, the most versatile, industry-standard, non-proprietary file format that will never suffer from versioning problems or can become corrupted by program errors, and that can be stored and opened on any system imaginable. TodoTXT is a free and open-source set of tools for ...

I am using Opera mini (which for me is the best browser for my Android) and after I select the text I want to save as a note I just click share and choose from a menu with all available applications to save my notes (in my case Evernote - great app to stay organized). I hope this helps.

I am happy with Remember The Milk. The Android and iPhone apps work offline and sync nicely when you're back in wifi range. The web interface works well for me on netbook, laptop, and desktop machines. And I use RTM as my primary list manager for GTD. I might also be happy with using Evernote if I were to change my workflow a bit. Evernote doesn't ...

Whatever you've tried, you've found a way to defeat it. Tools will only get you so far. You need to train yourself to not wander. I struggle with the same thing, but for different reasons. One thing that has worked is I ask myself before I click on a link: "Why am I going there?" If you have a productive, defined purpose for going there, then go there. ...

Toodledo also has search. I use it for: I created a to do item for sometime in the future and was so motivated to do it now before it got to the front of my list. (This happens for "one day" type items.) I want to see if I added the item to my to do list. (again for "one day" type items I completed an item and want to see when I did it last/how long it ...

A search could be useful for those who mark tasks when done but don't delete them, especially if handy information was recorded in the task. The 'done' list would be large. For example, searching for when car insurance had been paid in the past and confirming your suspicion that the amount paid last time really was a lot lower than what they're asking this ...

Nirvana is looking for Android testers and it's likely they'll have a finished app out soon. For a while there I used doit.im and have found Nirvana easier to use and a better fit for the way I do GTD.

Doit.im is the only solution that I could find that really follows GTD. You have projects, context, next, someday, and they are implementing reviews. It fully syncs with mobile, web and desktop applications. But real time sync is not free.

In terms of richness of features, availability of Android app, and availability of Sync, nothing I've seen is better than MyLifeOrganized. It's got tons to offer in terms of organizing tasks, setting up reminders, doing backup, etc. The Android app has a nice interface and all the features you could need while you're on the go. The downside: The ...

The most powerful option is Emacs with org-mode. I would call org-mode basically your own productivity application starter kit, thus many have used it to create their own GTD based work-flows. Emacs itself has a really big learning curve but I think it's worth it. Once you understand the basics of Emacs org-mode is really easy to get started with. You can ...

Because of the number of different organisations I work for, I have to-do lists totalling over 100 items, all of which have tasks which may be single, repeating, open, closed, dependent or awaiting input. To me, search is absolutely essential, and I tend to search by priority, tags, organisation, individuals, team and various others. Without being able to ...

There is also one called The Eatery - which I know is based on taking pictures, but not sure if it allows for the other elements you mention. I have tried all of them over the years - the one that I've found is by far the best (in large part because the foods are crowd-sourced and always updated) is www.myfitnesspal.com The app works great on android and ...

I'm not sure it has all the features you're looking for, but Evernote Food might work for you. It is an application that works on top of the Evernote system. I'm sure it can do the photo and add notes, I'm not sure about the rest. Evernote runs on pretty much every platform currently available, and syncs between them flawlessly. Creating an account is ...

What you need here is not a sophisticated software, but a technique/system to apply to yourself. Here are some tips: Use IFTTT , you can set it to send you a SMS, each time you receive an email/facebook message and many more. You have to make a System where you only log-in when you see that you have received an important e-mail/message. Set an Alarm ...

I use Wunderlist (wunderlist.com) because it can sync across all my devices (Mac, iPhone, iPad), but they have clients for Android, Blackberry and Windows, too. It's very simple to use and syncs flawlessly over Wifi or mobile networks. However, syncing is just a basic feature for me. What convinced me in the end, was the possibility to share lists and todos ...

I quite like the Android App ColorNote for keeping lists -- 150,000 five-star ratings can't be wrong. It's well put together and works intuitively, and is free and has no ads. It's not specific to tasks -- I mostly use it for grocery shopping -- but you don't say that you need prioritizing or due-by-set-date or anything. I'd just make a list for each day ...

The problem with all of the GTD apps (and ToDo/Tasks apps) in mobile is that they are somehow cumbersome to use. Most of them implement their categories by dropdowns. Which doesn't let you see your categories just by looking at the screen. you have to click on your dropdown and choose from the many lists of your categories. Other apps like Any.do are nice ...
