GoForIt! is a simple and stylish productivity app, featuring a to-do list, merged with a timer that keeps your focus on the current task. More information for end users can be found here.
The original author made the following video explaining the workflow of GoForIt!:
This video shows a very old version of GoForIt!, but most of what is shown still applies to the current version.
To-do lists are stored in the Todo.txt format. This simplifies synchronization with mobile devices and makes it possible to edit tasks using other Todo.txt front-ends (e.g. the official apps for Android or iOS or the alternative Android client Simpletask). A comprehensive tutorial about setting up GoForIt! with Simpletask can be found here.
I maintain a Launchpad PPA which can be used to acquire .deb packages. On Ubuntu (+ derivates) it is recommended to add the PPA for automatic updates:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:go-for-it-team/go-for-it-stable && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install go-for-it
For git versions use https://code.launchpad.net/~go-for-it-team/+archive/ubuntu/go-for-it-daily instead.
Build it with makepkg or use your favorite aur helper.
Flatpak packages support multiple distributions and are sandboxed.
Stable releases are hosted on Flathub:
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak install flathub de.manuel_kehl.go-for-it
GoForIt! is avaiable in the FreeBSD Ports Collection:
pkg install go-for-it
Unfortunately, a recent Windows version isn't available. The https://github.com/mank319/Go-For-It/commits/windows-cmake branch may be a good starting point for porting the current version of GoForIt! to Windows.
It should be fairly straightforward to compile GoForIt! on Unix-like platforms as long as Gtk+3, libcanberra and cmake are available. Should you run into any difficulties feel free to add an issue.
GoForIt! is free and open source software licensed under the GPLv3. It has been written in Vala making heavy use of the GTK framework.
The user interface is inspired by the design philosophy of elementary OS and Gnome applications, striving for elegant simplicity.
