Worth knowing
Any.do
- Recurring tasks, location reminders, color tags and WhatsApp reminders are Premium features.
- The Family plan is fixed at 4 members; a larger group has to move to the per-member Teams plan.
- The license agreement limits refund requests to within 48 hours of purchase.
- No Linux app is listed on the vendor's site.
Do.List
- It runs on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch only; the vendor's FAQ says there is no Android version yet.
- Due dates are confined to one list by design, so tasks in Today, Tomorrow and Later cannot be scheduled to a date and time.
- The App Store marks it as designed for iPad and not verified for macOS, and no web or Windows version is offered.
- The vendor's FAQ still says use on multiple devices is not supported, while the App Store listing describes iPhone and iPad syncing through iCloud.
Key features
Any.do
- Tasks, lists and reminders
- Personal to-do lists with reminders are free. Recurring tasks, location reminders and color tags are listed under Premium.
- Calendar and daily planner
- Calendar events and tasks are shown together, and a daily planner asks what you intend to get done today.
- WhatsApp tasks and reminders
- Tasks can be created and reminders received inside WhatsApp. WhatsApp reminders are a Premium feature.
- Family space
- The Family plan gives up to 4 members a shared space for family projects, task assignment and a grocery list that groups items by aisle.
- Team boards and views
- The Teams workspace has project boards with kanban, calendar, table and Gantt views, custom fields and time tracking.
- Automations and templates
- In the Teams workspace, automations can assign tasks, set due dates and update statuses, and more than 100 workflow templates are provided.
Do.List
- Today, Tomorrow and Later lists
- Tasks are prioritized into three lists in place of dated deadlines, reordered by drag and drop, and the app always opens on Today.
- Life Lists
- More than 30 ready-made lists hold non-urgent items such as groceries, gift ideas, trip packing, movies to see and bucket lists, and custom lists can be added.
- List types that behave differently
- Grocery and packing lists are checked off, books and movies can be marked as favorites that rise to the top, and the Daily list resets so its tasks can be repeated.
- Grocery list with stores and sections
- Grocery items can be given a store and a section, and the list can then be sorted by either one.
- Reminders for dated tasks
- A task that does need a due date goes into a dedicated list that sorts by date and sends a reminder; the other lists stay free of dates.
- iCloud sync, backup and Apple Watch
- Data is saved on the device, synced between iPhone and iPad through iCloud and backed up from Settings. The Apple Watch app shows the lists and completes tasks.
