Best Todo list management software

Question

I am looking for a simple, easy to use, effective todo list management.

It will be better if I can link to my code where to make that todo change.

Is there any open source solution for that?

Answer 1

There are some options depending on the platform you use. For Eclipse there is the Mylyn Project

Robert Munteanu contribution: Check out this blog for a gentle intro. Also, using Mylyn allows you to migrate your tasks to real back-end when you're ready, like Bugzilla, Trac, Mantis, etc.

Answer 2

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but it is a great free tool with the source code:

ToDoList - A simple but effective way to keep on top of your tasks

Answer 3

You can add a "todo: my notes here" inside any code file in Visual Studio. Then all items are visible in the "task list" window.

Answer 4

I believe many of the eclipse perspectives have the capability to handle todos in the code.

If you have something like:

if (something == true) {
    //@todo add something to do
}

It will show up in the task pane, and you can click the list item to jump to that point in the code.

EDIT: I checked and the php plugin that I use doesn't have it but the java one does.

Answer 5

Web based todo list management tools are ideal for managing a task such as this.

Although they do not have the direct links into your code, they have added advantages such as sharing todo lists with colleagues, making todo lists available wherever you are and allowing mobile access if you are away from yuor desk.
