Worth knowing
My Tasks
- Cloud backup and sync, shared tasks, the AI assistant, the OCR scanner and drawing notes are premium features.
- Without premium each device keeps its own separate list; syncing a phone and a tablet, or Android and iPhone, needs the premium cloud backup.
- It is available for Android 8.0 and up and for iPhone and iPad only, with no web or desktop app.
- Prices here are from the US App Store; Google Play shows a different in-app range of $0.99 to $33.99 per item without labels.
Todoist
- The free plan stops at 5 personal projects and keeps only 1 week of activity history.
- Calendar layout, task durations and custom reminders all need Pro or Business.
- Personal projects are capped at 5 people, even on paid plans.
