# Information for End Users
_Go For It!_ is a simple and stylish productivity app, featuring a to-do list, merged with a timer that keeps your focus on the current task. More information for end users can be found [here](http://manuel-kehl.de/projects/go-for-it).
## How To
The following video explains the workflow of *Go For It!*:
[](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnw556C9FZQ)
## Storage and Synchronisation
To-do lists are stored in the [Todo.txt](http://todotxt.com/) format. This simplifies synchronization with mobile devices and makes it possible to edit tasks using other Todo.txt front-ends (e.g. the official apps for [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.todotxt.todotxttouch&hl=en) or [iOS](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/todo.txt-touch/id491342186?ls=1&mt=8) or the alternative Android client [Simpletask](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.mpcjanssen.todotxtholo&hl=en)).
A comprehensive tutorial about setting up *Go For It!* with *Simpletask* can be found [here](http://itsfoss.com/go-for-it-to-do-app-in-linux/).
If you already use Todo.txt, **beware** of the fact, that *Go For It!* automatically archives completed tasks to the done list!
## Download and Installation
I maintain a [Launchpad PPA](https://launchpad.net/~mank319/+archive/ubuntu/go-for-it) which can be used to acquire .deb packages. On Ubuntu (+ derivates) it is recommended to add the PPA for automatic updates:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mank319/go-for-it && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install go-for-it
Arch Linux:
yaourt -S go-for-it-git
The Windows version is available for download [here](http://manuel-kehl.de/projects/go-for-it/download-windows-version).
An OSX Version may follow in the future.
## Donations
If you like _Go For It!_ and want to support its development, I'd very much appreciate a little [tip](http://manuel-kehl.de/donations) :-)
# Information For Nerds
_Go For It!_ is free and open source software licensed under the GPLv3. It has been written in _Vala_ making heavy use of the _GTK_ framework.
The user interface is inspired by the design philosophy of [elementary OS](http://elementaryos.org/) and [Gnome](http://www.gnome.org/) applications, striving for elegant simplicity.
## Roadmap
- ability to filter the to-do list by projects & context
- "to-do list only" mode
## Potential Future Features
- time tracking functionality
- option to make the timer count up
- visualization and export of time tracking data
- mechanics for handling more complex projects
- support for different synchronization and storage backends
## How To Build
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install
