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 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. 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.
