What ThinkingRock users say

Thank you for the amazing product! Quite literally, discovering Thinking Rock and the GTD® system is one of the best things that have ever happened to me.
Goals are a great addition to thinking rock and nicely done.
I just downloaded TR to take it for a test run, and after half an hour I found myself drooling over how simple, easy to use, and well-implemented this program is. I've tried ..(list of software).. and damn near everything in between to try to implement GTD® on a computer, and none of it worked as well as your software. I just wanted to drop a line and give you ...
I want to compliment you on your wonderful product. This is the only software I found that truly understands the GTD® system. I searched high and low for a commercial product (anyone for that matter) and in the end picked yours. Its a product definitely worth paying for. Fantastic work!
Let me first say ThinkingRock is a fantastic product. I've used OmniFocus and Things and only recently discovered your product. It is just so intuitive to use and makes GTD® implementation so straightforward.
I just wanted to say thank you so much for your desire to help and support people to bring sanity in a world of insanity.? I'm very grateful for Thinking Rock. Ive only used it for a couple of days, and I'm blown away by the power it has, and the simplicity, and the total integration of the GTD® principles.
I'm really happy to have discovered ThinkingRock.Your software is exactly what I wanted and even more.?Thank you for your great work. I'm sure there will be a great help to simplify the establishment of the effectiveness of GTD® in my life.
You guys have done an incredible job of building this software. After reading GTD®, I was so intent on creating a system to deal with all my thoughts and couldn’t have been more pleased to find out that you had already created it. Thank you very much and thank you for keeping it at an affordable price so that it’s in reach for everyone.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. As exciting as the GTD method is, as fundamental as its impact was on my life in the last 2 months, I was growing increasingly frustrated with my lack of success at finding a set of tools that would integrate nicely with each other, taking care of all GTD aspects from beginning to end. You pulled it off with flying colors.
I bought your sftw 2 hours ago. I wanted to originally write a long email about my thoughts, because your software is simply of a rare quality: both flexible and intuitively easy to use. I can't believe I actually considered not buying this because of the $ price tag... silly me. Simply the best $ I spent this month on anything by a LONG shot, and probably the best ...
After browsers and email, I think Thinking Rock is probably the most useful piece of software I've ever used and it literally underpins the day-to-day management of my business. With the advent of Goals, it's taken on a whole new dimension as it now allows projects to be viewed contextually in a very immediate and accessible way.
Fantastic software!
It is just so intuitive to use and makes GTD implementation so straightforward
I'm using your software about three years for my personal and professional GTD system. And, I want to say: Great job! I've tried a tons of GTD systems, but this system is the best for my usage.

Sync instructions between iPhone/iPad app and TR desktop using dropbox:

 

01 Go to your Dropbox settings and make sure you select "DO NOT" limit upload and download rate from the Bandwidth tab.

02 Run the TR desktop application and set-up the iPhone sync method (under Options/Preferences - Miscellaneous screen, iPhone sync tab) to be Dropbox and browse to the root/Apps/tr.sync Dropbox folder on your computer. Whenever you sync, you need to have the desktop application running. The desktop does not have to be at the same physical location as your iPhone.

03 On iPhone, on the sync screen, choose Dropbox. Enter your Dropbox account details and press the Link or Done button. This should create the root/Apps/tr.sync folder.

04 On iPhone sync screen, press the Sync Data button. This will start the sync. Updates and new Thoughts are sent from the iPhone to the desktop application (through a file called syncup.txt).

05 There is no need to press any button on the desktop. The desktop application is checking for that first sync file automatically. It will apply the changes to your data file, then actions, topics and contexts are sent back to the iPhone (through a file called syncdown.txt).

06 The iPhone application loads the new data and the sync is completed.

Because there is no intervention required on the desktop, you can sync on the go: leave TR running on your computer and sync from your iPhone or iPad wherever you are.
 
Be careful though:
  • don't have two desktop applications running at the same time on different computers;
  • if you are using multiple data files, the desktop application gives you a warning if the data file on the iPhone is different than the one on the desktop. In that case, user has to accept the warning on the desktop for the sync to continue.
Please note that there is no additional encryption of data through Dropbox. Dropbox uses SSL encryption during transmission of data.
 
Further notes regarding privacy:
 

01 The syncup.txt and syncdown.txt files are temporary files and are deleted by the iPhone app.

02 The TR data file does not need to be within a Dropbox folder but your computer must have Dropbox installed and be connected to the internet when you are syncing.

03 When the sync is initiated, the updated data from the iPhone is sent to the desktop. The desktop data then gets updated and the data is sent back to the iPhone. So if you update Notes or postpone date of an action on both platforms, the changes on the desktop will be overwritten with the changes made on the iPhone.

 

More information for troubleshooting

The design of the sync using Dropbox is:

  • The iPhone app creates a file with all updates and new thoughts, then save it under the Dropbox root folder. The file is called syncup.txt
  • The TR desktop app (which needs to be running) detects the syncup.txt file presence, update the data file then prepare the syncdown.txt file and save it under the Dropbox root/Apps/tr.sync folder.
  • The mobile app uploads the syncdown.txt file and deletes the two temporary files.

The problem is usually with the Dropbox folder you specified on TR desktop.
The syncup.txt file is created under your root/Apps/tr.sync dropbox folder after you press the Sync button on the iPad/iPhone, so please ensure that:

  • You have the latest version of TR iPhone sync (module version 3.3.2.0).
  • You have linked the iPhone app to your Dropbox account - thi sshould create the Apps/tr.sync folder
  • Once you have started the sync on the iPhone app, you can see the syncup.txt file under the root/Apps/tr.sync dropbox folder on the computer.
  • The folder specified under TR/Miscellaneous/iPhone Sync tab corresponds to the one where you can see the file. It has to be the root one as it is the one used by the iPad/iPhone application.
