I am not sure if it's a pure coincidence that my very first app reviewed here was an online app and only couple of days ago I made a new discovery, another web based GTD tool called Nirvana.
Nirvana is a new player on the market, the app itself is in closed BETA and you have to request your registration key to be able to set your account. I received mine few days ago and have been using Nirvana since.
To be absolutely honest, Nirvana reminds me a little of another, desktop GTD app called Things. I always believed that Things have achieved perfection with their interface and the way one uses the software and I am delighted that non Mac users will have a chance to experience that thanks to Nirvana. I already started using it for my work and home tasks through my both work machine and my netbook at home. Things, being Mac OS app only allowed me to do so at work only. I found this a huge limitation and Nirvana unconditionally wins in this situation.
Nirvana offers everything a GTD enthusiast would dream of, from projects, contexts, tags and task lists to email reminders, setting due dates, next and someday actions and more. It is simply filled with options but what's important, the app is so well designed that at any stage you don't feel intimidated by the huge amount of it's options.
So far the app does not allow for offline use, which today is a bit of a limitation. However, since Nirvana is still in BETA I hope it's creators already have plans for either offline mode, mobile app or even a desktop one, all of which are slowly becoming a standard for any respectable web app these days.
My verdict? I am absolutely fascinated by this app. I have been using it for few days only so far but already see it as becoming a major player in the GTD apps scene in a very short period of time.
As said, Nirvana is still in BETA and you can request your testing account by going here. It's well worth doing it.
