[FROZEN] Free open-source GTD software using JavaFX.

Project: E.M.B.E.R.

Efficient Management Beyond Excellent Results

EMBER is a free open-source GTD ( Get Things Done ) software. It's portable, secure, efficient and easy to use while offering a beautifully crafted interface.

But how is it different from other great todo-lists manager?

• First, it's free and open source.
• Secondly, it's cross-platform and portable so you can use it on MacOS, Windows, Linux, etc. It's written in Java.
• Thirdly, it's a desktop software, not a terminal or web-based app. This is my main target. Android and IOS support later.

And finally, I will try to add some unique functionalities like a personal assistant, custom animations, a focus on student tasks, etc.

Participate!
