I was wondering if any of you who own i-phones, a droid, or other smart phones have found certain apps that really help with organizing your life, and help with any executive dysfunction problems that you may have.

I use 2do for iPhone. It allows you to make to-do lists and categorise them based on priority and what it is (e.g. personal, work, etc - whatever you want). You can set alarms as reminders and tasks can be recurring. I have found it very useful so far :)

Here's the website - http://www.2doapp.com/en/2Do/overview.html

wblastyn, thanks for the idea of 2do for iphones -- that looks really useful! I don't know if I'm ready to buy an iphone for my 13 year old son, but I could sure possibly go for an itouch ipod, so this is really useful to know about!

Anybody else have apps that they like to use that help with organization or reminders?

I own a iPod Touch and the app I would find most useful is the Alarm Clock Free from iHandySoft inc, which it was suppose to wake somebody up but I don't know exact how that would wake you up?

According to the app, it does but i've never really tired it for myself and plus its free to download.

For any android users, you can try Astrid. It's probably the most comprehensive todo manager. Has everything you could possibly need.
I also recommend gTasks. it links to your Google account and the Task app. Very simple, to the point. Very useful!

I have a cell phone that has an Alarm function and a Calendar function with audible alerts. This has been very helpful for me, but I'm still limited in that the alarm function only lets me set five alarms and the calendar function only sounds a single chime. I've been looking for something more useful for a while.
