I've been hunting for goal tracking software for linux and keep coming up empty. I installed Daisho, even though it doesn't look like quite what I want, but couldn't get it to work, and it takes a truly insane amount of disk space.

I would prefer software to websites. Am I overlooking anything good?

If nothing exists, what are your best hacks?

It might help people if you described what you were looking for.

What exactly is "goal tracking software"?

I guess Omnifocus for the mac is pretty close to what I want ideally. http://lifetick.com/ is a website that is close to what I want (in software form).

That lifetick one is web-based so you could use that. I know you said you would rather have a program than a website, but Ive never heard of anything like that and searches in the repositories came up with nothing.

i think the OP is looking for personal task manager.
there are plenty arround. you can also use calendar plugins in email clients.

i installed & use Task coach. both on linux and windows.

there are also task unifier, thinkingrock etc.

These are all great, thank you! I think thinkingrock may be what I'm looking for--if it turns out to be complex, I may use Nitro Tasks. It looks pretty good too.

I've been running Tracks for several years. It's based on David Allen's Getting Things Done methodology.

I remember installing Tracks at some point. The problem is - it is dead-ware. No longer maintained, I think. It seemed ok - but not exactly what I was looking for.

Personally, even tho the OP said "no web" - I go with web-based apps on this. Specifically Google and ToDoIst. ToDoIst is great, functions great, cross-platform, has advanced ToDo list techiques - good stuff. The Google todo list does the basics exceptionally well. So, I quit trying to do it all on my own box. Why bother?
