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.

TaskFire

Lists, checklists and task details

Every task belongs to a list and can carry notes, comments, tags, a priority, and start and due dates. Lists can be reordered and separated with spacers.

Smart Lists

Saved filters gather tasks across lists by due date, star, tag or assignee. Accounts start with standard ones such as Important and Next seven days, which can be customized.

Reminders and location alerts

A Basic account allows one reminder per task. Premium allows up to 10 follow-up reminders, plus alerts triggered on arriving at or leaving a location.

Task parsing, email and Siri

Characters typed in a task name set its dates, priority, tags and list. Creating tasks by email or by voice with Siri is listed under Premium.

Shared lists and assignments

Lists can be shared so that tasks are assigned to people and discussed in comments, with email notifications when a shared list changes.

Team administration

The Teams plan adds a dashboard for managing members, licenses, sharing permissions and invoices under one bill, for teams of 2 to 99 people.
