> Task manager for Mac, iPhone, iPad and Android with no subscription

2Do is a personal task manager for macOS, iPhone, iPad and Android from the independent studio Beehive. A task can grow into a checklist or a project with sub-tasks, and work is organized with color-coded lists, tags, Smart Lists and location-based alerts. 2Do has no account of its own: devices sync through a service you pick, such as Dropbox, iCloud or another CalDAV server. The Apple apps are one-time purchases, and the Android app is a free download with paid unlocks.

## Key features

- **Tasks, checklists and projects:** A simple task can be turned into a checklist and then into a project with sub-tasks. Color-coded lists and List Groups keep related work together.
- **Natural language entry:** Dates, times, repeats, alerts, durations, priority, tags, lists and saved places typed into a task title are filled into their own fields, in ten languages.
- **Smart Lists, tags and Focus:** Searches across titles, tags, notes and dates can be saved as Smart Lists. Tags can be grouped or paused to hide their tasks, and Focus narrows a list to chosen conditions.
- **Sync through a service you choose:** Devices sync through Dropbox, iCloud, Apple Reminders, Todoist, Toodledo, Fastmail, Fruux or another CalDAV server. A list can also be shared with people nearby over Wi-Fi.
- **Alarms and Nearby:** A task can carry several alerts, including alarms that repeat until they are dealt with. Location-tagged tasks show up in a Nearby panel when you are close by.
- **Automation on the Mac:** The Mac app includes an MCP server for Claude and other agents, along with AppleScript, Apple Shortcuts and URL schemes. Email sent to a private address becomes a task.
