GoodTask vs Task Flow

GoodTask

• People who keep tasks in Apple Reminders and want more ways to view them
• Seeing reminders and calendar events together in one plan
• Buyers who prefer a one-time purchase to a subscription

Task Flow

• People whose tasks belong to more than one project at once
• Apple users who want both list and board views of a project
• Buyers who prefer a lifetime purchase to a subscription

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.

Task Flow

• Apple platforms only: the App Store lists iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision, with no Android, Windows or web version.
• The free version stops at five projects and one attachment upload per day, according to the terms of use.
• Multiple reminders per task, task priorities and premium themes are listed as Task Flow Plus features in the vendor's press kit.
• Data syncs only through the user's own iCloud account; there is no separate Task Flow account or sign-in.

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.

Task Flow

My Task Flow view

A view that collects the tasks to do next from any project into sections such as Recent, Today and Upcoming, plus custom sections the user adds.

Tasks in several projects

One task can be added to more than one project and ordered separately in each. Completing it in one project marks it done in all of them.

List and board layouts

Each project is shown as a sectioned list or as a kanban board, and can be given its own icon and color.

Subtasks, notes and attachments

Subtasks are full tasks with their own due date, priority, notes and further subtasks. Notes accept Markdown checklists, and files can be attached to a task.

Reminders and recurring tasks

A task can carry several reminders, and repeats use presets or custom rules such as every Tuesday and Thursday or the last Friday of a month, with an optional end date.

Task Flow AI

On-device features built on Apple Intelligence summarize the Today view, suggest subtasks and reword tasks. Version 5.0 creates tasks from text, dictation or photos; some of it needs iOS 27.
