Our verdict on Go For It!
Go For It! is a free, open-source desktop productivity application for GNU/Linux users who want task management and focused work sessions in one tool. It combines to-do list management with a built-in productivity timer, including configurable Pomodoro-style sessions. Its solo and small-team fit is clearest for people who prefer a focused desktop workflow, use Linux, and want their task data stored in a plain Todo.txt format rather than tied to a proprietary system.
The timer is the product’s standout feature. Users can configure focus sessions around their task list, making Go For It! more specific than a basic checklist while keeping the scope narrow. The published product details show no paid tiers: the application is free and open source. That makes it suitable for individuals seeking a no-cost desktop tool, while its value depends on whether a built-in timer matters more than broader planning, collaboration, or project-management capabilities.
Todo.txt is central to the ecosystem fit. Go For It! stores lists in that format and supports synchronization through compatible Todo.txt applications and clients, including Simpletask. This gives users a path to work with compatible tools, but synchronization is tied to that ecosystem rather than a broad set of native integrations. Coverage is limited to Linux desktop use, with community and documentation support. Choose Go For It! if Linux, Todo.txt storage, and configurable focus sessions are priorities; choose another to-do app if you need wider platform coverage or a broader integration and collaboration suite.
