Worth knowing
GoodTask
- Apple devices only: apps are listed for iPhone, iPad, Apple Vision Pro, Apple Watch and Mac.
- The Mac app ($39.99) and full access on iPhone and iPad ($19.99) are bought separately.
- After the 14-day trial on iOS, continuing requires the one-time unlock or the Supporter subscription.
- The Apple Watch app is a companion that is used together with an iPhone.
Orderly
- iPhone and iPad only: the App Store marks the Mac option as the iPad app, not verified for macOS, and there is no Android or web version.
- Syncing between devices needs the Fast Cloud Sync subscription at $2.99 per month or $6.99 per year, on top of the $1.99 app.
- Low light mode and passcode protection are a separate $0.99 in-app purchase.
- There is no free version: the app is a $1.99 download before any add-on, and the listing states no free trial.
Key features
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.
Orderly
- Visual layout in three levels
- To-do lists are shown as notes in three levels at a glance, and a list is dragged to another priority. Note colors, fonts and font sizes can be set per list.
- Folders
- Any number of folders group lists by category, each with a custom icon and its own notifications for high-priority and overdue to-dos.
- Date, time and recurring reminders
- A date and time can be set for a whole list or for single items in it, and a list can repeat daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly, bi-monthly or yearly.
- Location-based reminders
- A to-do can be attached to a place, and the app sends a notification when the device comes near that location.
- Today Items and Due Items
- Two built-in views cut across every folder: Today Items shows what is due today, and Due Items shows items that are past due.
- Cloud sync, backup and archive
- A paid subscription syncs lists across devices and backs data up automatically. Email backup is part of the app, and completed lists move to a searchable archive.
