Getting Things GNOME! (GTG) is an organizer for the GNOME desktop environment.
GTG focuses on usability and ease of use. Its main objective is to provide a simple and yet flexible organisation tool for life and work.
GTG uses a very handy system for creating and editing tasks. The task editor can automatically recognize metadata such as tags and subtasks only by the use of a very simple syntax.
Key Features

- Quick add entry – the quickest way to create a new task.
- Tags – useful to sort your tasks. There is no limit to the number of tags a task can have.
- Subtags.

- Plug-ins – has the ability to add plug-ins to extend core functionality. Some examples of the current plug-ins are: Syncing with Remember the Milk and Evolution, Tomboy/Gnote integration and Geolocalised Tasks.
- Optional user interface features:

- Background colors.
- Closed tasks pane.
