Go For It! is a simple, yet very useful 2 in 1 productivity app, which includes to-do list management, as well as a timer. It's available for Linux and Windows.
The to-do list and timer are used together: simply select a task and switch to the timer tab to activate it. From the Timer tab, you can choose to mark a task as done, skip, or pause it at any time:
When the timer runs out (and 60 seconds before), a notification is displayed so you don't need to have the app focused the whole time.
To see the app in action, check out the video below created by the Go For It! developer:

Go For it! stores to-do lists in the Todo.txt format, which we've covered a few times here, on WebUpd8 (like Todo Indicator - by the way, you can use in combination with Go For It! or any other Todo.txt app).
What makes this special is that it's easy to edit, migrate and synchronize across devices. Since there are numerous Todo.txt-based applications (GUIs for any OS, including mobile, command line tools, etc.), you can simply store the lists in Dropbox (or whatever cloud storage you're using) and access them on any device or even use a text editor to edit or add new tasks.

The application is written in Vala and GTK, and its user interface is inspired by the elementary OS, and GNOME design philosophy (and simplicity), which means it uses header bars:
However, traditional window borders are used under desktop environments that don't fully support header bars, such as Unity.
