How we grade them
| 3.0GPADGT GTDVery good | 3.6GPATasks.orgExcellent | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | AIt's free on Google Play and the listing shows no in-app purchases. The developer's site asks for donations, and they're optional. You can't do better than free. | AYou name your own price, from $0.99 a year, and that unlocks every in-app feature. Tasks.org Cloud, with sync, list sharing and an email-to-task inbox, is $29.99 a year, or $2.99 monthly. Both sit well under what to-do apps typically charge. |
| Free plan and trial | AThe whole Android app is free, and so is the separate Toodledo sync plugin. There's no paid tier to be nudged towards and no trial clock running. | AFree on Android with no account: unlimited tasks, lists, tags and reminders, recurring tasks, location reminders, and sync with Google Tasks and Microsoft To Do. No ads either. Most people could stay here for good. |
| Features | BUnlimited nesting, complex repeats, nagging alarms, bulk edit and a task made for you after a missed call. That's a lot. But its Play listing says it's not a full implementation, and the Toodledo plugin is marked beta with a warning that data loss might happen. | ASubtasks nested as deep as you like, filters, manual sorting, repeats and reminders tied to a place. Then the sync choices: Google Tasks, Microsoft To Do, CalDAV, EteSync or its own Cloud, which adds sharing with up to five guests and an email-to-task inbox. |
| Ease of use | BThere's no App Store rating to go on, as it isn't on iPhone. You install it and add tasks by typing or voice. Syncing takes more work: Toodledo needs a separate plugin, and the Dropbox route points to an add-on whose store page we couldn't find. | BInstall it and start a list, with no account and no internet needed. Hooking it to your own CalDAV server or DAVx⁵ takes more doing, but that's a choice. There's no rating on record to go by, so it stops at a B. |
| Platforms and integrations | DAndroid only. No iPhone, web or desktop version. It does sync with Toodledo and Dropbox and takes Tasker actions, but the app itself lives on one kind of phone. | BAndroid, plus desktop apps for Mac, Windows and Linux that are labeled alpha and need a subscription. It syncs with a lot: Google Tasks, Microsoft To Do, CalDAV, EteSync. But there's no iPhone or web app. Apple devices get there through Apple Reminders over CalDAV. |

Worth knowing
DGT GTD
- It is Android only, and its Google Play listing still calls it a work in progress and not a full implementation.
- Toodledo sync needs a separate plugin that is marked beta and warns that data loss might happen.
- The developer's site says Dropbox and FTP sync need a DGT GTD Value Pack, but that add-on's Google Play page was not found when checked.
- The website was last updated in 2019. The developer also publishes DGT SODA, which it describes as the evolution of DGT GTD.
Tasks.org
- There is no iPhone or web app. Apple devices reach Tasks.org lists through Apple Reminders over CalDAV.
- The desktop apps are labeled alpha and need a subscription, and the maker says matching the Android app's features will take a while.
- Tasks.org Cloud sync needs the $2.99 a month or $29.99 a year subscription; the name-your-price tier does not include it.
- On Google Play installs, custom themes and icons and sync through DAVx⁵, CalDAV or EteSync all need a subscription.
Key features
DGT GTD
- Folders, contexts and tags
- Tasks are organized by folder, context, location, tag, star and status, and lists can be filtered by status, context and tag.
- Unlimited hierarchy
- Tasks, checklists, folders and goals can be nested to any number of levels, and a bulk edit mode changes several items at once.
- Repeats and nagging alarms
- Recurring items support complex repeating patterns, and nagging and insistent alarms keep sounding for a reminder that has not been dealt with.
- Sync and backup
- The app syncs with Toodledo, on free or paid Toodledo accounts, through a separate plugin, keeps devices in sync through Dropbox or FTP, and backs up to Dropbox.
- Quick capture
- Tasks can be added quickly by typing or voice recognition, and the app can create a task automatically after a missed call.
- Automation and widgets
- Llama and Tasker actions can drive the app, it has a scrollable, resizable widget, and a plugin feeds Pure Calendar and Agenda Widget.
Tasks.org
- Offline lists with deep subtasks
- Tasks, lists, tags and reminders are unlimited and need no account or internet connection. Filters, manual sorting and subtasks nested to any depth are included.
- Recurring tasks and location reminders
- Tasks can repeat and send notifications, and reminders can be tied to a location. Both are part of the free Android app.
- Sync with services you already use
- Google Tasks and Microsoft To Do connect for free. Sync through DAVx⁵, a CalDAV server, EteSync or DecSync CC needs an in-app subscription.
- Tasks.org Cloud
- The maker's CalDAV-based sync service adds list sharing with up to five guests, an email-to-task inbox and app passwords for clients such as Apple Reminders.
- Desktop apps in alpha
- Early-access apps for macOS, Windows and Linux sync with Tasks.org Cloud, Google Tasks, CalDAV and EteSync. One subscription unlocks both Android and desktop.
- Open source without ads
- The Android and desktop apps are licensed under the GNU GPLv3 and show no ads. Installs from F-Droid unlock in-app features without a subscription.
