How we grade them
| 3.6GPAGoblin ToolsExcellent | 2.6GPASplittiGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | AEvery tool is free on the website. The apps are one-off buys, $0.99 on Android and $1.99 on iOS. Pro is $3 a month on the web, under what paid to-do apps typically start at. Buy it there, because inside the iOS app Pro is $3.99 a month. | CPlus is $9.99 a month, or $78.99 a year, when paid to-do apps typically start around $3.99. What that buys is 100 AI interactions a week in place of 20, plus two more meditations and focus sounds. Pro is $14.99 and still stops at 150. Dear for what you get. |
| Free plan and trial | AAll nine tools are free in a browser, and the vendor says existing features will never move behind a paywall. Pro only adds sync, history, templates, custom tones and shared lists, and it starts with a 1-week free trial. | BStarter is free and has the real thing: the AI breakdown, the chat, the Pomodoro timer and the Eisenhower matrix. But it's capped at 20 AI interactions and 5 ultra smart decompositions a week, with 1 meditation and 1 focus sound. Enough to see if it clicks. |
| Features | BIt does one job fully. Magic ToDo splits a task into steps, Taskmaster walks you through them one at a time, and Estimator guesses how long a task takes. There's a tone rewriter and a brain-dump sorter too. But the vendor warns results are guesswork, and Pro sync covers the web only. | BIt does one job, getting you unstuck, and covers it well: AI that splits a goal into steps, a matrix that sorts them by urgency, a Pomodoro timer, a chat for advice and a tracker for focus time. But every plan caps the AI, and the listing shows no integrations. |
| Ease of use | A4.8 from about 3,000 App Store ratings. Type a task and get your steps back. On the website there's nothing to install or pay for first. | BType in a goal and the AI does the breaking down, so there's little to set up beyond a personal profile. It's an app you install and use. There's no rating on record to go by, so it stops at a B. |
| Platforms and integrations | BA website plus paid apps for iPhone, iPad and Android, so it's on most things. But no integrations are on record, and Pro keeps Magic ToDo lists in sync on the web only, with app support still to come. | CiPhone, iPad and Android, and that's the lot. The site links to no web or desktop version, and the listing shows no integrations. If you plan at a desk, your steps stay on your phone. |
| Best for | breaking a scary task into small steps | breaking a big goal into small steps with AI |

Worth knowing

- The vendor's site carries a notice that it is being refined and shows monthly prices only; the yearly prices here are from the US App Store.

Key features
Goblin Tools
- Magic ToDo
- A to-do list that works out the steps for a task automatically. A spiciness level hints at how hard the task feels, and a higher level produces more steps.
- Taskmaster
- Works through a to-do list one step at a time, so that attention stays on a single task instead of the whole list.
- Estimator and Compiler
- Estimator gives a rough time estimate for a task or activity. Compiler turns a messy brain dump of text into an organized list of actions.
- Formalizer and Judge
- Formalizer rewrites text to match a chosen tone or level of formality. Judge offers a second opinion on the emotion or intent behind a message.
- Professor, Consultant and Chef
- Professor explains a complicated subject in simpler terms, Consultant compares options to help with a decision, and Chef invents a recipe from ingredients on hand.
- Goblin Tools Pro
- The subscription keeps Magic ToDo lists in sync across devices on the web, stores the last 50 results of each tool, and adds templates, custom tones and shareable lists.

- Pomodoro timer
- A built-in Pomodoro timer runs focus sessions and is accompanied by AI-generated productivity tips.
