This is the “down to earth”, day by day usable part of the framework. It literally puts the power of this framework in your pocket.
iAdd is my first real life implementation of the Assess – Decide – Do framework. I started the app with almost no knowledge of Objective C (I am though a seasoned programmer in PHP) and I finished in 30 days. It was a personal challenge and one of the most demanding coding projects I ever embraced. As a curiosity it’s also the first app I ever wrote for the iPhone, in native Objective C.
iAdd aims to keep you balanced and stress free while still managing to get everything your really need to be done, done. It’s the most versatile replacement for a traditional ToDo list. It uses standard iPhone user interface elements in order to make your experience as smooth as possible, while still keeping in place all the main characteristics of the framework.
Its interface is the result of countless hours of testing and experimenting. I consider myself a power user when it comes to productivity apps, and as such, I do believe that a productivity app should be as simple as possible. iAdd is not packed with fancy yet disconcerting user interface elements. Because it’s not the app that is important, it’s you. This is why iAdd will look really simple in the beginning.
iAdd is a Universal app, which means it will run on your iPhone, on your iPod Touch and on your iPad. And you will only have to buy it once. All versions have Dropbox syncing capabilities, which means you will be able to seamlessly exchange data between your devices.
And all this comes for only 3.99 0.99 USD. Click below to get iAdd for iPhone / iPad from the AppStore.

iAdd is an excellent app if you want to get out of the “add things to a list and then cross them off” world of productivity. It incorporates much from the GTD world (such as Contexts), but really shines in the area where GTD leaves off – where we assess what’s important to us and make decisions based on what we want to do.
The app is based on Dragos Roua’s Assess-Decide-Do framework – without an understanding of this framework, it could easily be mistaken for just another to do list with what seem like some extra useless steps. I strongly suggest that the user takes the time to learn the framework (links are in the app) to get the most from it.
It’s now my go-to iPhone app for productivity, especially when it comes to using the Assess realm for idea collection. It may even have convinced me that purchasing an iPad would be worth it – unless of course Dragos is planning on creating a version for Windows. Or even better, a Google Chrome extension (hint, hint…)
