My initial response to TopTask is similar to Alexander’s. It looks impressive, and I admire the ingenuity. However, if I had the discipline to turn on and off the switch to record my actions for any particular task, I wouldn’t need a task manager. (I mean, you should see how often I forget to turn off “magic paste” in Brainstorm, and end up with a bunch of stuff I don’t need copied into the program.) Additionally, I think there is advantage in considering which materials to include in your project database.

I did think the calendar feature was appealing - one place to see and manage all your calendars. But then, I don’t use more than one calendar. I can’t imagine doing so.
