Instead, you had to use ToodleDo on the smartphone\u2019s browser to see the MYN views, and that can be hard on the small Android smartphone screens.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" title=\"Got To Do\" src=\"http:\/\/gottodoapp.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/04\/task-list-nested.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"197\" height=\"296\" \/>Well, there is great news! We finally have a dedicated Android tasks app that syncs with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaellinenberger.com\/ToodleDo.html\">ToodleDo<\/a> and supports MYN. It\u2019s called <a href=\"http:\/\/gottodoapp.wordpress.com\/features\/\">Got To Do<\/a>, and it\u2019s a nice little app. This app was originally designed to match GTD principles, and, with recent changes (released last week) it can now be configured to match MYN principles as well. This fills a great need\u2014this is now the first ToodleDo-syncable Android app that meets MYN standards (as configured below).<\/p>\n<p><em>Got to Do <\/em>has great ToodleDo features as well, with a well-implemented due date feature (like the ToodleDo web version, it treats due dates correctly\u2014not linking them to start dates). ToodleDo folders (categories basically) are supported. And subtasks are supported on the paid version.<\/p>\n<p>But you need to configure it a bit first; that\u2019s what follows.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Configuring <em>Got To Do <\/em>for MYN<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once you download <em>Got To Do <\/em>here are the steps to configure your copy of <em>Got To Do <\/em>to match MYN (so it groups by Priority, then sorts within that by start date descending, and filters out tasks with future start dates). This takes about 5 minutes. By the way, I\u2019ve only tested this on the full paid version. They should also work on the free Lite version\u2026 maybe someone could confirm and comment?<\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>First, link to your ToodleDo Account:<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>With the Got To Do app open to the first screen, press the hardware menu button on your Android device<\/li>\n<li>Click Settings<\/li>\n<li>Select ToodleDo Account Setup<\/li>\n<li>Select Enable ToodleDo<\/li>\n<li>Enter your ToodleDo username (e-mail address), then enter your ToodleDo password<\/li>\n<li>Back at the main Settings window select Synchronization Settings, then Synchronization Interval (I set mine to 30 min)<\/li>\n<li>To sync for first time use, go to the hardware menu, then tap Sync. Then check the Inbox view to look to see if your tasks came in (don\u2019t worry about sorting, we\u2019ll set that next).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Now, Configure Got To Do Settings for MYN<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>At the first screen, press the hardware menu button, then Settings.<\/li>\n<li>Tap Configure Got To Do<\/li>\n<li>Tap Configure Startup Screen; choose All Active<\/li>\n<li>Tap Future Task Filter; Hide Future Starting, then Hide Starting After: Any future start<\/li>\n<li>Return all the way back to main Got To Do screen (the list of views), and select the All Tasks View (near the bottom of scrolling list)<\/li>\n<li>Above the top of your task list, at the left, click the down pointing arrow in the white circle<\/li>\n<li>In the Select window, tap Sort Order: select Priority, then Start Date<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That\u2019s it, the MYN settings are complete. From now on you\u2019ll use the All Tasks View to view your MYN tasks; that view will open by default. In that view, the colored bars at the left indicate priority groups with higher priority at the top. Tasks with newest start dates are at the top within each priority group. And future-dated tasks are hidden.<\/p>\n<p>Let me know how it goes in the comments section below.<\/p>\n<p>All the best, Michael<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jan 26, 2011 [APRIL 2011 UPDATE]: Got To Do has been discontinued by its maker!
