I’ve been quite pleased with SmartTime by Left Coast Logic. The application does repeat the function of the native Calendar, but it mixes in ToDo’s with the calendar in a rolling SmartView showing them mixed in. You can reschedule ToDo’s by dragging them to another date, and prioritize them. Dates and ToDo items can be color coded to a project, so a visual check will show what is happening for a certain part of your agenda.

The program offers a weak Calendar display mode which will show a part of a day at a time with finger scrolling to see earlier and later times. Left-Right finger scrolling will show different days in chronological order.

A Focus display mode shows you what tasks and calendar items you have to Do Today as well as a Done Today list. The latter can be turned off at user preference.

Categories for agenda items and todo’s can be re-titled and re-colored to suit your needs but you are limited to 6 categories which is kinda small, but might fit into a simple GTD system.

Backup can be done to e-mail, although I haven’t done this yet. Restore from e-mail just sounds kind of problematic. YMMV.

You can set Work Time and Home Time periods so that you can split your tasks and schedule according to work place. The application is not location aware.

Overall, I think that this app has the possibility to be quite good for managing a GTD system. The lack of integration (Apple enforced, probably) with Calendar makes a big drawback, but the overall utility still makes the SmartTime application worth investigating.
