I use a note type approach with an app that allows me push tasks to the top. No needing to transcribe items to the top. The app that I use is called Sortd.com. It’s like a bullet journal but simpler.


Sortd.com is possibly something that might be of interest to you.


This looks pretty good. It's similar to Sortd.com but is without the very useful email integration.

Sortd has just released another 200 invite codes. Apply fast at http://www.sortd.com to get into the private beta or Tweet for an invite code.


Really interesting. We have debated lines of code type metrics. There's no easy answer that isn't merely superficial. I would love some heavy hitter hackers to weigh in with more thoughts.


Has anyone considered if the iPhone is a good choice of you are a Gmail user?

I have noticed that the Gmail app load time, on the iPhone, is unusably slow but it is one of the apps I need to use daily.


Is there a specific reason you are using the Gmail app instead of the OS provided mail app?


For me it's because I've come to rely on the Gmail tabs (primary/social/promotions/updates), which the built-in Mail app just ignored. I could probably duplicate the effort with folders (though I use those also, in parallel to the tabs), but I just started using the Gmail app instead which handled it all fine.


There's that - and the fact that Gmail app can prevent the non-Primary tabs from sending notifications.

Also there's search... Mail.app does not handle search well for Gmail.


A year or so ago Google removed the Exchange support necessary to do push via Apple's mail app (well, it's complicated: if you set up GMail via Exchange on the mail app prior to that point in time your device is grandfathered. Otherwise you've got to use the GMail app).


Not the OP, but I noticed the same and in my case the reason it's simple: I have all my email/attachments since 2004/2005 in gmail. I use full archive search way more often than I care to admit.

I love how gmail works/syncs across all platforms (my iPad on iOS, two Android devices, PC laptop and Mac desktop) and doesn't limit me to the Mac/iOS platform.


Shouldn't it work the same way if you are just using IMAP? I never used the gmail app that's why I'm not familiar with it's inner workings.


Unfortunately search barely works for me on Mail. That is a big one. Also, in the mornings before work I like clean out my mail but I don't have access to my Gmail primary tab so I tend to tons of unnecessary email. Labeling also doesn't work.


I would also recommend Mailbox for managing Gmail. It is one of my favorite apps I have ever used.


I cant seem to get push notifications to work with the OS app, is there a way around this?


Push notifications, I believe, don't happen in Mail.app?


I use the Gmail app on my iOS device daily, it works great.


Consider using Mailbox, an app by Dropbox. It is quite fast and has all the features I need for GMail. It makes checking email a joy.


I agree, seems unlikely


Very cool. Love the animated pivot.
