Worth knowing
Planndu
- Repeating reminders, task groups, local sharing, import and export, extra themes and all but 3 templates need Premium.
- There is no cloud sync: sharing works only between devices on the same network, and deleting the app removes its data unless it was exported.
- It runs on iPhone, iPad and Android only. The site says a desktop version for Linux and Mac is in the works.
- Google Play shows in-app purchases from $2.49 to $29.99 per item, so the monthly price on Android may differ from the $3.99 listed on the site.
TickTick
- The free plan is capped at 9 lists, 99 tasks per list, 5 habits and 1 attachment per day.
- Multiple calendar views, task duration and email reminders are listed as Premium features.
- The pricing page shows Premium only as a $49.99 annual plan; a $4.99 monthly option appears on the App Store listing.
- Location-based reminders are listed as iOS only.
Key features
Planndu
- Tasks and notes
- Tasks, checklists and notes are unlimited, and a list can be formatted with checkboxes, bullets or numbers.
- Priority and status
- Each task takes a priority of Urgent, High, Medium or Low and a status such as To Do, In Progress or Done, and lists can be grouped and sorted by them.
- Drag and drop
- Tasks are reordered by dragging and can be moved between groups in the way cards move on a kanban board.
- Reminders
- A reminder sends a notification for a task. Repeating reminders on daily, weekly or monthly schedules are part of Premium.
- Templates
- Pre-built templates cover routines such as a morning routine, meal planner, groceries list and travel packing. Free includes 3 and Premium unlocks all.
- On-device storage and local sharing
- Data is stored on the device and never uploaded to Planndu servers. Premium can share tasks with devices on the same network and export or import a CSV file.
TickTick
- Typed and spoken task capture
- Dates and times are recognized as a task is typed. Voice Capture turns speech into one or more tasks and uses AI to pull out dates and priorities.
- Calendar views
- Yearly, monthly, weekly, multi-day, multi-week and agenda views show tasks alongside subscribed calendars. The free plan has a basic calendar view; Premium lists multiple views.
- Kanban, timeline and matrix
- A list can be shown as a kanban board, as a timeline for tasks that have a duration, or as an Eisenhower matrix that sorts tasks by urgency and importance.
- Pomodoro timer
- Work on a task in 25-minute focus intervals. Statistics report focus time next to completed tasks and habit logs.
- Habit tracker
- Habits are logged and charted in the same app as tasks. The free plan allows 5 habits and Premium allows 299.
- Shared lists
- Share a list with other people and assign tasks to them. The member count is 2 on the free plan and 29 on Premium.
