We didn't build it around GTD, but based on our workflow as a small web development shop that's worked on over 300 projects for more than 100 clients. If you need something to track your tasks and your time, and to help with your workflow, give it a try. Another web-based service to check out is Intervals.

I got on the GTD train as well about one and a half year ago and I can only agree that it helps out a lot. Even though I manage to slip off every now and then it's definitely was a necessary change when I went from programmer to manager. I saw your name in the Tracks bug database when I checked in on it to see if the development was active. With this strong endorsement from you I'm going to have to give it a second look. I've been meaning to look for a web based solution. I owe my thanks to Edd Dumbill who pointed me at the book. Glad it’s working out for you Luis.

But definitely worth checking out. G: that's part of why I'm so psyched about Tracks trunk- the mobile interface means I'm never really out of touch, even when all I have is my phone. Rob: ooh, nice- people have been asking me about hosted Tracks; that's great to see. It even appears to have some features that Tracks trunk doesn't have; I wonder if he can be persuaded to get those into trunk. Mike: the main tracks site is... a little slow :/ Antonio: I like my GTD fairly lightweight, and from the screenshots a year or so ago Thinking Rock looked very heavy.

Since then, I've fallen off the GTD bandwagon a few times, but just remembering the bliss of being organized brought me back to it. Fair warning - don't depend too much on a tool (like Tracks). The "my laptop's not with me" excuse derailed me once. Found that the trick is to be able to record stuff anywhere, any time, with whatever's on hand. Congrats! I'll go back to lurking now. Love the blog. Hey Luis,
