Doneit

List, grid, board and timeline views

A task list can be displayed as a list, a grid, a kanban board or a timeline. The App Store listing puts the timeline and the advanced board view under Premium.

Categories, folders and attributes

Tasks sit in categories, with folders, smart categories, tags, priorities, statuses and custom attributes available in Premium for finer organization.

List actions

A Premium setting that defines what happens to a task when it is added to a particular task list, so routine changes are applied automatically.

Reminders and Calendar sync

Doneit imports reminders and calendar events, syncs both ways with the system Reminders app, and can add tasks and subtasks to the Calendar app as events.

Attachments

With Premium, files, photos, scanned documents and drawings can be attached to tasks and subtasks.

Doneit Assist

An on-device assistant built on Apple's Foundation Models framework that drafts tasks and subtasks from a prompt and summarizes a task list. It also works offline.

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.
