  I love the interface and ease of use of 2Do and that it syncs well with iCal and through it with The Hit List, my main GTD application.

  Unfortunately, while the new version of 2Do introduced projects with subtasks and lists, syncing complete projects between 2Do and THL is not possible For reasons of convenience, I can’t rely solely on a mobile app when managing my to do’s, so I switched with a heavy heart to Things. I bought the mobile app to give it a try. I am not 100% convinced yet, but at least I can manage projects with subtasks on both the iPhone and the Mac.

  Wish the mobile app for The Hit List was released. I’d buy it in an instant.

    2do is good. but syncing or backing up is a pain. Things is pretty good but expensive and features are not that impressive. The research for an best todo list app ended with ListAppy Todo. Syncs excellently with mac with no pain and issues. check out http://samurasolutions.com

  From this list, I tried Toodledo, RTM, Done and they were too feature-full or cumbersome to use. I’m not and never was much of the GTD person, and I occasionally need to type some list quickly. Thus I created my own:

  http://codeaplus.com/quickie/

  The main reason is that I needed as fast data entry as possible, which was the main feature for Quickie. I was not aware of half of the apps here, so not sure do some of them has a similar speed list creation.
  And it must be pretty – I have an artistic background and apps must have nice to look at UI

    Now this app is a breath of fresh air. I’m honestly tired of the GTD method, I always stray from it because of the complexity and time needed to keep it up to date and useful. Now I’m going back to simplicity where a little goes a long way and I think I just may have found it with “Quickie”. The interface is easy on the eye’s and it keeps me moving when I only have seconds to update my to do list. Fantastic app!

    I sent you feedback through your app’s webpage. You need categories and item bodies to make this app worth it, but you need to keep the original entry method the same, that part is great. The whole point is for item entry to be very fast and you totally nailed that. But, I often want to revisit my TODOs and append notes to them, which I can’t with quickie. You’re really close to being the perfect TODO app IMO!

    What attracted me to quickie is the same reason I use vim as my editor: efficiency!

      Exactly like the OP of this thread, I too found something lacking in the current offering of to do apps (overly complex, or overly basic), and set about to create my own. At the core of the whole experience is exactly that – efficiency! What you are asking for, stingoh, is already in taskList. And, unlike other mobile to-do apps, taskList is the only to-do app that puts the power of tags front and center in the experience.

      The free lite version was just released, so give it a go and see if it meets your needs: http://itunes.apple.com/app/id438627079?mt=8

    I’m using things as well which i believe is the most compliant with GTD as tasks can be also presented in the most convenient timeline: today (for things i intend to do today or which are due), next (for the things i can potentially do already but didn’t decide i will do today), schedulled (for all the things that are waiting for something to become an action item – mainly waiting for X to revert back…) and someday
    in addition, the use of projects and multiple tags (@home, errands, phone) is convenient and the typing of a task is fairly easy.
    however, i am using PC and Things doesn’t have a PC version, so even when i am working on my laptop, i need to type the tasks in the iPad and cannot link emails to it etc…
    I would be very happy if someone would be able to recommend a software that is similar to things but working also on the PC or an application which is similar to Things but is able to receive tasks from emails i send from my PC
    tnx

  Everybody seems to forget / not know about Ultimate ToDos. It only costs $0.99 and it’s a lot better designed (from icon to interface) than more than half of the up-listed apps. I’ve been using it for 6 months now and it’s very good. It also syncs with Toodledo.

  It’s only downside is its lack of push notifications. I really hope they’ll include them in a future upgrade. Too bad I can’t seem to contact the developer (or at least they’re not responding as most of the iPhone developers do).

  Hmm, if interface is the main criteria, I would vote for Things. However, I really found that I needed a fully functional calendar replacement + task list. I need robust repeating appointments which I could quickly edit (like on my Sony Clie TH55). My vote goes to Pocket Informant (http://pocketinformant.com/products_info.php?p_id=pocketinformant_iphone). There’s a free version available if you want to try before you buy.

  I love how it:
  - looks professional yet elegant
  - syncs with a shake with Google Calendar
  -perfectly handles multiple Google calendars (say, if you have separate ones for sports, family, work, etc.)
  - how I can use the GTD system to arrange tasks
  - how I can create new categories at a whim.
  It’s well-supported too.

  Each time I am tempted by another pretty-faced, one-function app (which have their places), I always return to Pocket Informant because of its ideal blend of task/calendar functionality, multiple views, and aesthetics.

    I second what Chris is saying it is a fantastic app, well worth the 7 bucks it cost. Three things I like about it. First it syncs with google so, secondly, unlike Google calendar it shows the whole day 8am to 10pm. Lastly the layout of the calendar is better,this is what google calendar should look like

  Oh,I forgot (you can’t edit your posts here oddly): Pocket Informant syncs with Toodledo and WebISnet says they will be releasing a desktop Outlook update to Pocket Informant later this year, meaning users can sync directly to Outlook over WiFi without using a go-between like Google Sync.

  Sorry to see that you didn’t give OmniFocus the attention it deserves.

  Anyone that has spent serious time trying to get a handle on tasks knows that ‘to-do- lists just don’t work, they are incomplete and this is why if/when you start cleaning house you will stumble across to-do’s that you never finished. (many of them I bet).

  Enter the GTD (Getting Things Done) Philosophy, its SIMPLE. For every piece of ‘stuff’ you have, in you desk, on your desk, in your computer, in your shirt pocket, in your wallet, purse, and (most importantly) in your head, and anywhere else… Answer these 3 simple questions.

  1. Is this (whatever it is) actionable? (Do I need to DO something with it?)
  2a. If the answer to #1 was no, you can do one of three things.
  a) Eliminate it (Throw it away or recycle it).
  b) Incubate it (I want to do something with it, but not right now).
  c) Reference it (File it in a simple alpha sorted filing system).
  2b. If the Answer to #1 is yes, what is the desired outcome of this thing? (what does it (or what it belongs to) look like finished? (if there is more then a single action its a project.
  3. What is the very next action you need to do with said thing to move it towards that outcome you framed?
  Thats it (in a nutshell). Thats GTD, and if you take the time to catch it, you will never use a useless ‘to-do’ list again, and you will have stress free productivity.

  Its actually kinda tragic, because you didn’t understand GTD, you provided a poor review of the very BEST GTD tool out there (that I have ever found). This taints my view of your opinion on productivity tools in general, and other readers should be aware that your lack of understanding that OmniFocus is a GTD tool, not a ‘to-do’ list is what framed your view.

  Had you done the research for it rather then just looking at the price point and how it wasn’t a ‘to-do’ like application, you would have done it, and yourself more justice…

  Just MHO.

    I second you.. reviewer doesn’t understand GTD concepts else Toodledo would have ranked higher. You can form groups, folders, and most importantly tags there. others don’t have this You can tag tasks or created folders to sort tasks by location, time, frequency, ‘resources required to do the task’. which even high price apps lack.

    Pretty flaming, dude.
    Although on some higher level planning, you are correct in your assertions about the robust features of this app, many people do not need this kind of complexity at all.

    All these are reasonable apps, some clearly better than others in design and ease of use, but to claim YOUR idea of GTD is the correct one and the rest of us “don’t get it” is both arrogant and rude.

    For the kinds tasks you plan, Omnifocus is best. Good for you. And a more well thought out review would have led others needing a higher level of planning ability to look closely at it. As it is, likely more users have been driven away from its consideration due to the overzealous tone of your message.

  For me teh most important feature is syncing. Unfortunately, your short descriptions do not comment on syncing. I used to work with RTM but abandonded it a while ago because their lack of support for the iPhone App. I now use ToodleDo but with ToDo as the iPhone client, not the ToodleDo iPhone App. ToDo works excellent and reliable.

  I also like 2Do because of the really nice interface, but currently it sync only with a dedicated small server app on the Mac and when both are on the same WLAN, while ToDo and ToodleDo sync without any user intraction and over 3G and WIFI.

  Being an app addict I’ve spent a small fortune on most of the apps you’ve listed plusany more. RTM and Toodledo types are nice with them syncing with a web interface – handy for those of us enlightened enough to have mac at home and iPhone, but encumbered by the office pc. This is great, but I also like the ease of adding a task on my phone rather than logging into a clunky web UI.
  A lot of the apps you’ve listed are simple to-do list/tick box generators and they work really well in this way. Not many of them are serious players though when it comes to serious task management. For this I’ve tried both Things and Omnifocus and I keep going back to Omnifocus. I used it to plan a particularly complicated Christmas with lots of relatives coming to stay and now I’m using it to plan for the birth of my first child later this year. I can assign projects and actions to these type of scenarios simply and they don’t clutter up my day to day tasks.
  They might look complicated, but I guess you get out what you put in to these apps. For a simple to-do list they’re way too complex and expensive, but to help manage your life, they’re essential.

  What I’m in need of is a tool that starts with recognizing that I have a metric butt load of tasks in Outlook where they are primarily managed (and added). FTW, some bit of Basecamp integration would easily put me in the $20 range no questions asked.

  Todew is a simple, quick todo list. One of the key features is the ability to click and drag to re-prioritize. I find the others too complicated to sort. Todew lacks projects, but I suspect that might come in the next version they claim is coming soon. It may not suit someone that wants a lot of functionality, but it best suits a rapidly changing list.

  You missed Epic Win (http://www.rexbox.co.uk/epicwin/). It doesn’t have all the features I’d like to see (such as creating sub-lists or the ability to sync with another iPhone), but from an entertainment and motivational point of view it is unbeatable.

  I does allow you to move your tasks onto different days, will display the overdue tasks as a little bubble on the icon, allows you to set priorities, has push notifications and can sync with a calendar (although I have never used that feature). It also gives you XP for your completed tasks and you level while you go along. For any geek out there who enjoys a bit of roleplay I find it very recommendable. Also it is the first and only list app (or list of any kind for that matter) that convinced my boyfriend to actually use it and stick with it!

    I have been using this for a few months now – it’s perfect for making lists, looks beautiful and easy to use.

    It is also great for sharing the same list between people which syncs instantly between iphones, mac, PC and web.

    BUT I wouldn’t recommend for office working and project management – it needs a better prioritisation system and for tasks to move from the previous day to the next day automatically and also to integrate with outlook.

    I would check if this is included by the time you’re reading this post because once that’s sorted this is a really powerful app.

  If you’re looking for a task manager that handles the daily stuff (organizes and prioritizes by day) then check out 2do BY day. It’s really simply functionality but it’s nicely designed and easy to use.

  I cannot believe Wunderlist didn’t make it on here. That has to be the best app out there. Period.

    To all who commented about Wunderlist: This is a reposted roundup, which is mentioned in the first paragraph. It was originally posted in January 2010, so I have no idea if Wunderlist was around then. Sorry for the confusion!

      The team behind Wunderlist was founded in August 2010, so there’s no way it could have been included

  Hi everybody!

  I’m the designer from Lazymakers developer of Minds (GTD+Notes App). As I see here people want To Do which functions as a real GTD app. We also encountered with that problem and decided to develop our own app. We wanted to make app where user could make GPS based location notifications, reminder to plan every minutes, especially I encountered with this problem when I every time forgot to take my medicines on time, make quick notes with voice memo when I don’t have time to type, take pictures or record a video, take Notes which are also sometime intersects with To Do lists, plan not only Today, but a whole week or month etc, make confidential area protected with password because some notes can be very personal to be seen somebody when he/she looks your iphone, also I wanted task to be listed automatically on top if its priority is higher so we put a slider with percentage indicator of priority to given task and at the end with intuitive user friendly interface which is done due to Human Interface Guideline provided by Apple.

  We wanted Minds to be seen by app reviewers, unfortunately there are hundreds of messy To Do apps on App Store. So we decided to give promo codes for Minds to iPhone.AppStorm visitors for free, here they are:

  I like to add another app to the mix. It is called TaskForUs. It is designed to be really simple. No non-working sorting and such stuff. It is focussed on sharing lists between individuals. Most of the work has been spend to make this a reliable feature. It syncs for real and does not overwrite simultanous modifications. That’s what we consider essential for task management.

  Check out: http://taskfor.us

  You didn’t include the “Forgetful” app! Why not, this is by far the best to list / reminders app I’ve come accross and I’ve tried out a lot of them

  Do you think these task managers are important when you can perform most of these activities on a simple smart mobile calendar?

  My old Palm Centro had a most simple, flexible to do list. I miss it every day. You created a project category. Then you added tasks. But here it diverged from current apps. Each task you could categorize a priority level from 1 to 6. All the 1′s appeared on top, followed by 2′s etc. I would reprioritize items based on my feeling of both urgency and importance. A slick feature was to go above the level of a project category to the “all” level; there you cold see all items from every category merged together, but ranked in priority levels. I found this to be wonderfully flexible. And, I could add a Due Date, when necessary, but I rarely needed to use that feature. The beauty was you could easily review the status of a couple hundred tasks in a couple of seconds. I find the new apps hard to rank tasks and overly fixated on due dates and impossible to see a quick, broad overview.
