Checklist software for BlackBerry

[ommoran]

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for recommendations on (preferably free) software to manage checklists for the BlackBerry. I had one on my Palm that worked just fine, but am looking for what people use here.

Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks. I have Nextaction!, actually, but this isn't what I'm looking for. I'm looking for something as simple (and easy) as HandyShopper for the Palm was. I used something different, which was also free, but it could just as easily have been that.

Anyway, thank you for the advise.

I'm a very heavy Blackberry user and swithced from the Palm myself too. There are a couple of checklist softwares out there but none of them synced with Outlook. Hence I simply ended up using Memopad in my Blackberry, which syncs with my Outlook Notes. Because of the really powerful search feature in Outlook, I can drill down to the exact list I need in seconds. Also it's fairly easy to scan through all my lists when doing a weekly review too.

Do give this a try.

I will do, thanks. I was hoping to find something where I could "tick things off", you know?

Thanks for the tip.

I also use the notepad feature in my outlook and my blackberry (which sync) and it's worked fairly well. I have been including everything one one note though which each of my action categories listed. It's a bit crowded and scrolling is annoying especially on the blackberry. I may give your suggestion (Arif) a try which appears to be putting each list as it's own note correct?

Martin, I know what you mean, checking it off is satisfying rather than just deleting the item which is what I do.

Arif, do you store your completed items somewhere or do you just delete them?

I've been considering getting the Outlook Add-In, but I'm paranoid about changing what I am currently doing, and investing time and effort into something that may not do what I want it to. Right now what I am doing is very effective, but it's starting to feel overwhelming.

Does anyone know much about the outlook addin?

Since this post I downloaded the Outlook Whitepaper and it's well worth the $10. You get good, easy to follow assistance on setting it up and I'm humming along nicely.

The Mentat BlackBerry client is in beta and can be downloaded OTA from http://brainmurmurs.com/products/men...BlackBerry.jad.

If your BlackBerry runs version 4.1 of the OS you can download a compatible version from
http://brainmurmurs.com/products/men...BlackBerry.jad.

The software requires a Mentat account, which is free, and can be setup at http://gomentat.com.

I've been using the software for about two weeks now and it's coming along nicely.

You can read more about the client on our blog, here: http://brainmurmurs.com/blog/2007/11...-beta-preview/

*New UI screens are up too. The Agenda view lets you set up tasks for the day & mark them complete as you get through them.
