As I approach the tail end of my project, I've found that I have lots and lots of loose ends to tie up. So I started to look for a way to keep track of everything I needed to finish up.
For my birthday last year, my wife bought me an iPad so I spent some time trying various apps to help me keep track of this huge list of items - I wanted something that would let put everything roughly in order and group items together, while letting me modify the list as new tasks were discovered.
The best one I found is called Outliner and it does almost everything I need it to do and it's very simple. Here's a screenshot:

I use it to keep track of tasks, things I need to purchase, and use the notes to capture any research I've done for a particular task - particularly bolt sizes or any specialty items I want use.
It also provides sync capabilities to upload your tasks to the Carbonfin website so you always have a backup and can edit it on your home computer.
Yes, you'd have to get an iPad to use this app - but why wouldn't you want one?!?
(I also have all my avionics manuals as PDFs on my iPad too, which has been a very valuable tool!)
