Daily Checklist vs Tasks: To Do List & Reminders

Daily Checklist

• People who plan one day at a time and check tasks off
• Keeping work, shopping and study lists in separate tabs
• Users who want a to-do app with no account and data kept on the device

Tasks: To Do List & Reminders

• People who want a simple to-do list on Android with no ads
• Users who organize with color-coded lists and sublists
• Households sharing a shopping list between Premium accounts

Daily Checklist

• The store listings say Free with in-app purchases but do not explain the trial; Google Play reviews from 2025 and 2026 say the app stops working after about a week without Premium.
• There is no live sync: data stays on the device and moves to another one only through backup and restore.
• It is for phones and tablets only. The site names iPhone and Android, and there is no web or desktop version.
• Premium costs $4.99 on the US App Store and $5.99 on Google Play.

Tasks: To Do List & Reminders

• Device sync, automatic cloud backup, shared lists and the web app all require Premium.
• The free version is limited to 3 tags, and restoring a manual backup needs a donation or a Premium subscription.
• The vendor's site gives no prices: the US App Store lists two prices each for the monthly and yearly plans, and Google Play shows $0.99 to $69.99 per item.
• The iPhone and iPad app was announced in July 2026, requires iOS 26 or later, and its version numbers are still below 1.0.

Daily Checklist

A list for each day

Today's tasks are checked off with one tap, a swipe moves between yesterday, today and tomorrow, and a task can be copied to today or tomorrow.

Unlimited tabs

Lists are separated into as many tabs as needed, such as Work, Shopping and Study, and each tab can hold its own notes.

Recurring tasks

A task can repeat daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, and then appears on the list automatically on each due day.

Priorities, notes and emojis

Each task can have one of three priority levels, shown as a number of exclamation marks, a longer note, and one of more than 1,000 emojis.

Date-free lists and notifications

Static lists that are not tied to a date suit packing or grocery lists, and notifications with a custom message can be set for chosen days and times.

Backup, CSV export and print

Backup and restore moves data to another device, including between iPhone and Android. Data can be exported as CSV, and any list can be printed.

Tasks: To Do List & Reminders

Lists, sublists and subtasks

Lists are color-coded, reordered by drag and drop and can be divided into sublists. Tasks take subtasks, notes, priorities and flags.

Reminders and alarms

Tasks can have one-time or recurring notifications and alarms, and a task can be marked done or snoozed from the notification without opening the app.

Filtered lists, tags and calendar view

A filtered list gathers every task with a chosen tag, and a calendar view shows tasks by date. The free version allows 3 tags; Premium removes the limit.

Home screen widget

A widget mirrors the app on the home screen, so the day's tasks can be seen and a list opened with a tap.

Sync, backup and web app

Premium adds device-to-device sync, automatic cloud backup and a web app that runs in any browser. A manual backup to a local file is available in Settings.

Shared lists

A Premium user can create a shared list and invite others with a link. The list admin can lock the list against new members or remove a person.
