Yes. TeuxDeux.

I knew this app looks exactly like something else I've seen before, but I couldn't recall the name.

However, I don't consider this to be a copy of TeuxDeux because there's nothing particularly revolutionary in either app's design — they're both just digital versions of paper planners.

As far as todo apps go, I've tried them all. The problem I have with most of them is that they don't separate deadline with do-time. I want to plan a task such that deadline might be on Friday, but I intend to actually do the thing on Tuesday. Apps don't allow me to record that information.

When I first heard about TeuxDeux about an year ago I realized that the old fashioned and obvious weekly planner strategy could work. Since TeuxDeux wasn't free (I could be wrong because I now see a free version in their website), I just used a Google Doc to write down what I intended to do every day of the week.

And it worked reasonably well.

I'm happy to see WeekToDo come out. And it's open source!
