Actiontastic Syntax

Actiontastic is a free tool for getting things done.

The syntax listed works with the app's Quicksilver plug-in but is intended for use in any GTD-style application, online or offline. For example, the Jabber protocol could be used to send information to Actionatr (http://actionatr.com) or other productivity-focused web applications.

The conventions were formulated from user requests but match closely that of the Quicksilver syntax used by Kinkless GTD (http://kinkless.com). The goal of this page is to move from an Actiontastic-specific syntax to one that is shared by similar apps in order to promote cross-application collaboration.
