The Best To-Do List Apps in 2024

Показать описание

There’s an endless supply of to-do apps.

And some say it doesn’t matter which one you use. That’s not true. It *is* more important to focus on the work than on your lists, but some tools have much less friction than others. Other people will tell you that there’s only ONE to-do app that’s the absolute best for everyone. That’s not true either. You’ll vibe better with certain apps than others.

So, which to-do app is the best one FOR YOU? Let me show you.

PROS & CONS OF MENTIONED APPS
================================
Todoist - Best for managing personal and team tasks. Easy to use with lots of organizational features. Downside is no support for start dates.

Things 3 - Gorgeous design and user interface. Intuitive scheduling system. Downsides are no file attachments or early completion of repeating tasks. Apple only.

OmniFocus - Highly customizable for tracking tasks in detail. Built-in review perspective. Steep learning curve and complex interface. Apple only.

Tweek - Minimalist, clean interface. Hard to track minor tasks. Limited repetition options.

Apple Reminders - Integrates well with other Apple apps. Useful templates. Interface can be finicky. Apple only, of course.

Microsoft To Do - Pulls in tasks from other Microsoft apps. Clean "My Day" view. Confusing interface.

Google Tasks - Lightweight, simple. Easy to capture tasks from Gmail. Very limited organization features.

What’s your favorite to-do list app? And which app(s) do you think should be on my list?

Things 3 is the best but it’s not available to download on windows 😪

It's great to see a new video by you evaluating to-do list apps. I always enjoy hearing your views, and I've benefited from your courses.

Currently I'm using Amazing Marvin. There is only one reason I'm using it over Things 3; it supports dividing the day into sections. I feel the way I want do divide my tasks into areas and projects (Work, Health, Personal, and so on) should be independent of how I divide my day (tasks that need to be done in the morning before I go to work, short tasks that must not be overlooked, etc.) Having to use one categorization system to do both, feels awkward, in the same way using to do lists that don't distinguish between start dates and due dates feels. Things 3 has a tiny bit of this feature, allowing tasks to be allocated to the "Evening." If they were to allow custom sections in Things 4, I'd certainly go back to it.

Do you happen to know of any other to do list managers that allow one to divide up the day in this way?

I somehow can’t find what I really need,

An robust app easy for beginners and gets more use when you learn more,
In which I’m able to share them for other friends, whom are trying a to do list for the first time, to add on their personal lists. And be able to download attachments.

A necessity is to attach some specific PDFs to a specific card and specific checklists.

So here is what I’m doing I’m studying for final rerun due the next 40 days.

- 3 modules, each have a theoretical and practical exams.
- Both exams are on the same day.
- Both have curriculum selections.
- Theoretical exam has MCQs section and written section. With their selections and pdfs
- Practical, ditto.

Peter, I'm curious why Tick Tick did not make the list.

I need an app that will QUICKLY and EASILY allow me to export to Excel either via copy and paste. It MUST have a due date box included. I have Microsoft Teams suite and also I'm open to free options. What is out there now?

Notion seems like an odd choice to include here while excluding the 2-in-1 options Eg: Motion, Akiflow, Morgen etc...

I am curious why? Pure curiosity 😁

You forget the apps from microsoft to do (phone both ios and android, macbook and ipad, they do look waaaay better! :))!

nancydriessen

Thank you for this clear review of the various apps. I've spent about 2 hours going through compares and found this. It confirmed a couple of things for me. Again, thank you!!

Till point 9:00 - this video was supposed to be for best To-Do app.

10:35 Microsoft To Do actually DOES have Calendar integration and time blocking. It has for a long time now. In Outlook, when you click the To Do pane, it allows to drag tasks onto the Calendar and block out time. Also, the point you said about you don't like the 'new task' line being automatically selected, it only does that for EMPTY lists. If you go to a folder with tasks in it, nothing is pre-selected as you wished.
