I use OmniFocus for nearly everything, but there are times when I need to draw up a quick list and it's just a little too cumbersome.

I recently allowed the iPhone app Clear to keep track of my grocery list. It's very thin on features, doesn't sync with anything — but it's got a gorgeous, easy-to-use interface. It's ideal for something like a grocery list: list items are large, and you check them off by swiping the row to the right. Swipe again to re-check. Completed items grey out and stay on the list unless you clear it. This is great because pretty much every item on my grocery list will need to be reactivated at some point, and now I can make a new list by just swiping to un-complete things I need again.

Everything else lives in OmniFocus, but I've let Clear do this one thing, and it's quite good at it. I would never trust Clear with anything really important (again, doesn't sync with anything, so you're one crash away from oblivion).
