It lets you create lists and add tasks to them, but it doesn’t offer a web-based version for use at a computer. But beyond that, Pocket Lists offers little to recommend it that you can’t find elsewhere. This $5 app-expensive when you consider the widespread availability of free alternatives- lets you add icons to your lists, bringing a bit of levity and color to the experience of using it. IOS users looking for a to-do list with a little more pizazz will appreciate Pocket Lists. Pocket Lists tries to spice up your to-do list with small icons, but you have a limited selection to choose from.

Outlook users will appreciate Todoist’s Outlook integration, which makes it easy to turn emails into tasks, but I do wish some of its premium features-such as setting reminders for tasks-were available in the free version, not just as part of the $29-per-year paid upgrade. And, also like Wunderlist, Todoist works in your Web browser as a Chrome extension, and as an app for Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows.

Like Wunderlist, Todoist allows you to add projects and tasks and share those items with friends and colleagues. If you can get beyond its plain white interface, though, you will find this (mostly) free service easy to use. Todoist is a whole lot like Wunderlist, only a little less aesthetically appealing. Todoist is free and functional, but its plain white interface is a bit boring. You also can assign tasks, sort by due date, and-if you’re really having trouble moving up to the high-tech world-print out a hard copy of your list.Īndroid, iOS, Windows, Mac OS, Chrome free or $29 for premium version Wunderlist adds some high-tech touches that my notebook does not, such as the ability to share lists with friends and allow them to check items off of those lists as well. Wunderlist is available as a browser extension for Google Chrome, and as an app for Android, iOS, and Windows. Wunderlist’s web interface replicates what you see in its mobile versions. (After all, how can I know I’ve gotten anything done if I can’t see it crossed off my list?)

Nothing makes me feel less accomplished than an app that removes them from sight. I especially like that Wunderlist keeps your completed tasks visible on screen. You can create multiple to-do lists to keep your business and personal lives organized, and adding items to them is as simple as it could be. Wunderlist is in the running to become my new task manager, largely because this free app replicates the experience of keeping a written to do list, only with an interface that’s far more refined than my wrinkled notepad.
