Done goes live, Chillix announces winners
Filed under: Productivity, iPhone
Done, the $0.99US iPhone task list manager we mentioned a little while back, is now live in the App Store. It’s pretty slick, and falls right in the middle between a simple task list and a robust task management application like Things or OmniFocus. We hosted a contest in that last post, passing on a request from the developers for witty lists, the best of which (chosen by the developers) would be used in the App Store marketing materials. You all came through, and winners were chosen from the ranks.
The winners, chosen by Chillix, are KJP, Chad, Kevin, Todd, Gary & Kurt!
Some of the winners posted directly on the Chillix site, some posted here. If your list was chosen and you haven’t been contacted yet, expect to hear from the developers soon. Thanks to everyone who participated!

Chilli X seeks the savage wit of TUAW readers
Filed under: Humor, Productivity, App Store
iPhone developers Chilli X are looking for a little help with the App Store promo materials for their new ToDo list app, Done. First, though, a little bit about Done.
You’re probably thinking, “there are too many task lists available for the iPhone, and they all do the same thing.” You’ll get no argument from me there. For me, it’s a matter of how well they do it, and Done has the potential to be very fluid to use, taking a little more advantage of the iPhone platform as a user interface. Not having tried it yet, I’m judging by the features listed on the promo page: multiple lists, priorities, colors, shake to sort, as well some more novel innovations. It looks simple … maybe too simple for some, but potentially ideal for those who shudder at the mention of GTD (sorry, did I say that too loudly?).
One novel feature which I don’t believe exists in other task managers, yet, is a snapshot capability which will replace your iPhone/iPod touch wallpaper with an image showing your top 6 tasks. The app was recently submitted to the App Store, and is awaiting approval. That’s where you — with your highly-developed sense of humor and savage wit — come into play.
Chilli X would like to have clever task lists in the promo shots for the app. They are — by their own admission — developers and not comedians. You can see their prior attempts at their website, but — and I say this with love — they’re not great. If you think you have the comedic chops to write a truly fun, interesting and humorous list, leave a submission here in the comments. Chilli X will be watching and picking their favorite entries, the authors of which will receive free copies of Done, in addition to the glory of having their carefully-crafted task sequences displayed in the screenshots of the app in the App Store.
I’ve heard rumors indicating that App Store glory is often accompanied by prolonged health benefits and above average success with dating prospects, but your results may vary (the TUAW legal department kindly asks me to inform you that TUAW makes no such promises, and takes no responsibility for this post).
Chilli X does offer one stipulation: “keep them clean(ish) and don’t say nasty things about anybody.” Easy enough.
