    While there are approximately 3 million project management apps (I’m guessing. I lost count around 102,463), TeamBox manages to stand out from the crowd by being both open source and focusing heavily on collaboration.

    While many hosted web-based project management apps focus on collaboration, few of them are open source. And while there are quite a few open source project management apps, few focus heavily on collaboration in a way that’s designed for virtual teams.

    Teambox has both of those covered.

    Clutterpad: A Complete Project Management App

      Clutterpad is a full-featured project management app that considers itself  “a way of doing things-not just a tool.”

      Clutterpad operates on 5 principles:

      1. Sheer Beauty
      2. Ease and Simplicity
      3. Define Productivity
      4. Complete Mobility
      5. Security

      Sheer Beauty

      Clutterpad believes that to want to use something, you have to like the way it looks — and I completely agree. Clutterpad manages to achieve this with a sleek look where all features are easily accessible, without the interface looking cluttered.

      Ease and Simplicity

      Clutterpad thinks that “software should be as intuitive and easy to use as switching on a light.” While I still recommend that you always read all the features (and a product’s blog) — Clutterpad does do a pretty good job of having an intuitive interface.

      Productivity Redefined

      While I wouldn’t go as far as Clutterpad does in referring to using it as fun — it does offer a slew of features that can significantly help small teams stay organized, on track, and in touch all in one place.

      Mobility

      As a web-based app, Clutterpad is available from anywhere. (However, I didn’t see any mention of a mobile-optimized version.)

      Security

      Security is always concern — especially with cloud based apps — and Clutterpad lets it be know that they are super-serious about security.
