Productivity Tools Review: GQueues

In this post from the series of reviews of productivity tools, I'll review a to-do list productivity tool called GQueues (yes, their interface is Google-like).

GQueues

GQueues is a to-do list tool made to quickly add and view your activities in a very colourful and simple interface with some powerful features like nesting and easy integration with other tools (such as Google Calendar, for example).

GQueues is a neat looking to-do list tool with a Google-like interface

You can create groups of activities using only the keyboard (in the desktop version) to quickly add activities, set-up deadlines and write some notes for a particular task. You can share or delegate tasks to other users, being very interesting for use in a project or group setting.

And using the mouse or your touch screen to drag and drop activities to move them to another queue, set some info for a task and set a task tree.

GQueues mobile version
The mobile version works exactly as the desktop version, but the features are capped in the free mode.

Pros:
  • Quick to add tasks (either via keyboard or mouse).
  • Simple and intuitive interface.
  • Collaboration features and delegating tasks are very simple to do.
Cons:

  • Free mode is very restricted in the mobile version.
  • Doesn't escalate with complex projects and dozens of tasks, the interface gets too confusing with much data to show.
  • Managing your queues may take a lot of time if you have lots of queues to look for.
That's it! If you like to manage to-do lists in a simple way, give GQueues a try!
