2Do vs GoodTask

• Seeing reminders and calendar events together in one plan
• Buyers who prefer a one-time purchase to a subscription

2Do

• The Mac, iPhone and iPad apps are separate purchases at $49.99, $9.99 and $19.99.
• The Mac license covers 18 months of updates; newer versions then require a renewal, while the last covered version keeps working.
• Apps are listed for macOS, iPhone, iPad and Android only; there is no Windows or web version.
• On Android, sync, backups, alert notifications and Markdown notes need a one-time in-app purchase after a 14-day trial.

GoodTask

• Apple devices only: apps are listed for iPhone, iPad, Apple Vision Pro, Apple Watch and Mac.
• The Mac app ($39.99) and full access on iPhone and iPad ($19.99) are bought separately.

2Do

Tasks, checklists and projects

A simple task can be turned into a checklist and then into a project with sub-tasks. Color-coded lists and List Groups keep related work together.

Natural language entry

Dates, times, repeats, alerts, durations, priority, tags, lists and saved places typed into a task title are filled into their own fields, in ten languages.

Smart Lists, tags and Focus

Searches across titles, tags, notes and dates can be saved as Smart Lists. Tags can be grouped or paused to hide their tasks, and Focus narrows a list to chosen conditions.

Sync through a service you choose

Devices sync through Dropbox, iCloud, Apple Reminders, Todoist, Toodledo, Fastmail, Fruux or another CalDAV server. A list can also be shared with people nearby over Wi-Fi.

Alarms and Nearby

A task can carry several alerts, including alarms that repeat until they are dealt with. Location-tagged tasks show up in a Nearby panel when you are close by.

Automation on the Mac

The Mac app includes an MCP server for Claude and other agents, along with AppleScript, Apple Shortcuts and URL schemes. Email sent to a private address becomes a task.

GoodTask

Built on Reminders and Calendar

GoodTask works on the reminders and calendar events already on your devices, so an edit stays with the original reminder and syncs between devices through iCloud.

Smart Lists

Smart Lists bring together tasks from different lists and calendars and filter them by date, priority, tag and more, such as overdue or recently added tasks.

List, calendar, board and matrix views

A list can be shown by day, week or month, as kanban-style boards grouped by date, priority, list or tag, or as a Matrix View with four customizable quadrants.

Today Page and focus timer

Today Page lets you pick what to work on without changing due dates and shows calendar events beside the plan. Next Page focuses on one task with a timer.

Quick Actions and text snippets

A Quick Action applies a saved set of edits, such as rescheduling, changing priority, moving a task or adding tags. Presets and text snippets fill in details as you type.

Subtasks, repeats and Templates

Tasks break into subtasks and repeat on flexible schedules, and groups of tasks can be saved as Templates for routines such as a weekly review.
