The best and ONLY Project Management Software you should buy! – Daylite 5 Review

Planning and project management software: I have pretty much tried them all! 99% of them fall hugely short: not enough integration of other apps like mail, or over complex, hard to use, no cross connectivity with iOS and Mac, you name it I’ve bought it, tried it, stopped using it. After years and years of fruitless searching and scouring the digital desert in darkness, I finally found Daylite! And boy does it now feel like I am in a different world! A world of order and planning that works the way I want it to. Daylite offers such versatile and also EASY ways of joining the dots between all of your projects you’ll want to cry with joy! As a Producer for multiple national TV networks and channels I invariably have 10-15 projects on the go at any one time. I’ve tried Franklin Covey, Paper, Filofax, Tony Robbins RPM and, for a while I thought that Omnifocus would be my only hope. However, it turned out not to be the one I was looking for, it’s lack of integration (seriously??) with the ludicrously expensive Omniplan makes what could have been an excellent project planner into an over glorified version of Mac’s native “Reminders” app (come on Omni Group, get it together please - you’re good people!). But by far THE MOST AMAZING PEOPLE are those who work on Daylite. From day one I had an incredible experience and dialogue with them, they were responsive, helpful and kind. Daylite also has the missing link: a pipeline - a VISUAL pipeline so you can make sense of where you are in a project and how close to the end you are! Also, the ability to put in “Opportunities”, so you can track business leads and transform them into actual projects later is a god-send. Yes other project managers have this but not as visual or as easy to use. AND the kicker for me was the ability to integrate your email as well by turning a simple email into a project directly from the MAC mail app! WOW. And you can also attach mail directly to other projects without even leaving MAC MAIL. Also, integration with your MAC address book, a bit buggy but Brilliant! I could literally right pages and pages as to why Daylite is a truly an incredible piece of software. It’s makers are visionaries and are clearly listening to people like me who need versatile and clever software to make their lives not only easier but stressless and provide much needed clarity in a multi project world. But I won’t. I’ll stop. Because Daylite has taught me how to wrestle and slay the beasts of disorganization. This is hands down THE BEST PROJECT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE EVER. Don’t buy anything else, you’re wasting your money, cheating your offspring out of their inheritance and wasting the much needed and most precious resource that Daylite will help you get back by the bucket load: your time!
