Need a Windows/Android "auto next action" solution

Thanks heaps PeterW. I have already got an account with NirvanaHQ and am awaiting the release of their Android client. Here's hoping.

If they only knew that I would pay for it like yesterday!

I'm not 100% sure but I think NirvanaHQ does auto next actions in Projects. It's a web-based system but is light years ahead of Toodledo because it's been designed specifically for GTD. Projects can be set to sequential or parallel, active/inactive.

They have no native mobile client yet but are about to release their first iOS version (it's been in beta for at least a few months). They say that Android will follow soon after but in any case, they have a very workable mobile web version that I've tried on iOS and it's pretty good.

I think DGT GTD will help you, together with Toodledo(pro)
It can work with Tasks, Projects, sub tasks, and just simple Checklists types, so you can keep going.

Since the product is still Alpha it is under construction, but you can really use it already, it'has more functions than other apps that are finished. And more importantly you can help the developer create a tool to your liking.

Just checked. Enourmous functionality but no auto next action. You have to fiddle with setting status. Pretty cumbersome in that regard.

Hi!

I have a particular problem. I have several dozen linear projects that have several tasks and once I manually set the list in priority order, I simply have to process the "next action" for each project.

Currently I use Toodledo, and Due Today on Android.

Problem is, because of the number of projects (nature of my work) I am starting to spend more time going back to my system to manually select the "next action" rather than just burning through a list of things to do. I feel like I am doing a review twice a day and it is becoming cumbersome.

After chatting to a few GTD guru buddies (who are Mac heads and use Omnifocus) I need a solution that:

Can do Windows and Android
Is hopefully able to sync to the cloud
AUTOMATICALLY PROMOTES NEXT TASK IN MY PROJECT TO THE NEXT ACTION STATUS.

I have been searching for so long for a software solution and can't seem to find something that does all three.

Any suggestions would be oh so welcome!

Any luck yet? I use MLO on Windows and Android (I might be misunderstanding your usecase, but I think contexts works on Android now), but it's a bit cumbersome. Curious to know if anything else works this way.

BTW, does OmniFocus do this? I've been thinking of finally biting the bullet and getting a Mac (for various reasons) and if so I'd have to start this whole search over again. I know Life Balance is what MLO was originally modeled on, but I'm not sure whether that will run on newer versions of OSX.

A Linux option would be interesting as well.
