I think this should’ve been titled ”Best Personal To-Do Apps”. When collaborating with someone, these apps miss out on a lot. Can’t beat Asana, even it’s free version it more than capable for personal use.
I tried all of them for months and really really Tick Tick is the best. Even is the only one that offers tags and a bunch of features in the free plan. And I can move tags and arrange them in my own custom order. Tick Tick is the best out there.
My top pick is actually just good old pen and paper
Wunderlist is still around…
You should look at the combo of Actions and Timepage by Moleskeine. Awesome.
Thanks
Todoist is my choice and it is the best task manager so far!
What do you think about wrike, jira, asana, slack and such?
Any opinion on any.do?
My life organized – MLO works for me. The only major downside is that I use crossover on my Macbook to sync across my Android and vice versa which really defeats the purpose. Shame.
Guys check out notin. Its great for simple to do list.
I prefer TickTick. It’s easier and cheaper than Todoist.
Action is the best App for iOS
which laptop is best for students? do a video please
I’ve just started using ClickUp…I like that it works as a LIST but that I can switch to a calendar view and let me actually time block my list. BUT it’s really slow. They’re suppose to be launching a 2.0 to resolve that. If they do, this platform is def gonna be my fav. (The app is much faster btw.)
Gonna disagree with you. I don’t think Todoist is the best. I have used Todoist for about 4 to 5 months now and I definitely think that my 1+ year experience with wunderlist was better. I’m gonna try switching now
Just use Tick Tick
I had been using Todoist but recently switched to GoodTask 3 and LOVE IT. The integration with reminders makes it so powerful, and the customization of GoodTask makes it superior to Todoist IMO. Biggest drawback is obviously that GoodTask is Apple only, but if you don’t need something cross platform, GoodTask is amazing.
On my phone i use TickTick for todo lists
Tick tick is the best
I use Taskwarrior, which is the only app I know of that supports dependant tasks. If you’d like to read about it, then go to taskwarrior.org.
Focus on the smaller tasks and the big ones deal with themselves. Having to open a big task to see and handle sub tasks is backwards. The big task is the global goal and shouldn’t be the entry point. I appreciate you like it the way you do but one shouldn’t forum this to be “correct”. Others have a different view.
Digital todo lists have never been my thing. I’ve tried a couple. but I personally feel like they just overcomplicate things.
A good old bullet journal for my todo’s of the day will do 🙂 Though I do use a digital calendar for milestones and deadlines.
Try out NirvanaHQ, I think it is really good
Am using Notion
MinimaList is a great one that I use
TickTick is awesome! Especially if you are on Android, it’s widgets are great. I do the opposite of most and actually sync my calendar events, or originate them, in TickTick, and work directly from it.
Can you do a studio setup video
I’m a senior at high school I can’t get my homework done because I just don’t care some reason
Wait, did you say there is no Windows app for Todoist? I’m looking right at it…
I like color note. Simple, color coded, you can name and categorize colors for categories, has a calendar, to do list option, and it’s free. It syncs over all my devices and I’ve never lost a note.
It isn’t as intuitive as some of these apps, but it’s free and easy to navigate.
I’m the only one in love with the desktop screensaver?
I always add tasks to my list and then forget about them forever
Clean My House and Run My Life, android only.
Tick Tick released Beta 5.0 today with habit tracker inside. So amazing!
I use clickup for both managing a team and for personal use. For the team, i think the best features are the multiple view options and time tracking, and for personal use, i find the use of spaces and projects to manage tasks by whatever way you find best just awesome
I love Tick Tick it has that really simple widget.
Sooooo Wunderlist is and will always be the best but Microsoft has continued on it’s trend of making the dumbest decisions ever. -.- Still using Wunderlist, it was supposed to be nixed a long time ago but idk, still works so I’m still on it. When they first made the announcement I tried to switch too, tried a bunch of different apps, but Wunderlist is just so much better it’s sad.
Any Any.do people here?
