Using Deadline Everywhere

The ways Deadline can be accessed has grown to ridiculous proportions. Here’s a summary of the apps, tools and hacks that work with it.

Mac Desktop

Deadline will work with your Mac’s desktop. For more details, read the initial blog announcement. Download Deadline for Mac here.

Mobile

Visit /mob to access Deadline’s cut-down mobile version: deadlineapp.com/mob

SMS

We’ve had strong feedback from the people on the closed SMS beta, so we’ll roll this out with payment plans soon. Contact us if you want to try it for free until that happens.

Email

Did you know you can email reminders to Deadline? Click Help, Email Input to get your customised email address. It’s handy to add this to your computer and phone address books so you can quickly email Deadline wherever you are.

Jabber/Gtalk

I’ve recently been working on making the Deadline Jabber/Gtalk bots respond faster, and they’re working better than ever now. You can add talk@deadlineapp.com or deadline@helicoid.net (for Google Hosted Gtalk) to your buddy lists to talk to Deadline. It’ll send you reminders and also let you schedule and search them.

Fluid

Deadline is designed to work with Fluid. For more information on using site-specific browsers with Deadline, visit deadlineapp.com/ssb

Mozilla Ubiquity

If you’re a fan of Ubiquity, check out our Deadline Ubiquity scripts. This allows you to schedule and search reminders from within Firefox.

API

Deadline also has an XML API so you can make your own applications with it. I’m currently building an iPhone app that uses it.
