What's the best task management app?

I make a lot of lists for my tasks (personal and work related) and need to move them over to another day, add status notes, and an easy way to say if it's pending, new, complete, etc. Currently I'm using... Google Sheets. Literally built my own sprea… See more

Trello

Organize anything, together

Paul MustersWritten 2mo ago

I think this is the most easy one, visual overview and lots of extras, but only if needed.

Jon JonesArt PM \ Outsourcing Producer · Written 1mo ago

Excellent recommendation. Works well for small teams, too. I'm a freelance PM and Trello's the first organizational tool I roll out when putting a team together, because it's simple enough that even stubborn people can quickly self-organize around it and immediately start using it correctly.

Nathan MaasProduct Manager | Founder · Written 1mo ago

Trello is so versatile and can be used for overarching and long term tasks as well as weekly sprint boards. Simple and flexible.

Todoist

The world's most powerful to-do list.

Wojciech KocjanWeb developer / Project Manager · Written 2mo ago

I can recommend Todoist - it's available via web browser, desktop apps and on mobile. You can create different projects and this way use it for personal and work related tasks. It's really easy to start using it, it has great UX/UI.

AshTubeIT Executive | YouTube Certified · Written 1mo ago

Todoist! I use it every day and it's absolutely superb. It's cross platform, allows you to manage different projects for your personal and professional to-do's, and with premium you can get really advanced with labels. It's so easy to use and is an absolute life saver. It also works offline incase you remember something you need to add when you are on the go without an active internet connection. The UI is stunning on desktop web, and on the Android app.

Shannon ClarkeElectrical Engineer & Software Developer · Written 1mo ago

The ability to easy manage to-dos for multiple projects from one screen is what sets Todoist apart. Todoist also makes it extremely easy (and quick) to set priorities and (re)schedule the due date for each to-do

Asana

The task management tool, completely redesigned

Brian LeonardHead of Customer Experience, Bringhub · Written 1mo ago

I've implemented Asana at 3 separate companies after using Trello and Basecamp. Project templates, list or board style, easy drag and drop, repeating tasks, so much more.

Wunderlist

Christos XCreative Director · Written 1mo ago

Wunderlist is a fantastic task manager that has completely replaced reminders on MacOS and iOS on my devices. I can sync multiple tasks, lists and sub-tasks with collaborators, schedule them, allocate them and get dependable notifications. The tasks can also sync to the calendar. Truly a great app.

Aditya LesmanaDigital Strategist · Written 1mo ago

for personal use this is probably the best - why? one word: SPEED

Notion 1.0 Web + Mac App

Docs, wikis, tasks – a minimal & unified workspace for teams

Ivan ZhaoCo-founder, Notion · Written 1mo ago

Ivan Zhao made this product

It puts your tasks and notes in the same space, organized into a wiki. Plus, you can drag and drop everything!

SabioWritten 1mo ago

I use notion daily, and its simple interface and ability to share design guides and code with highlighting is super useful for tech companies!

Azendoo Task Pilot

Task collaboration for teams 🚀

Gregory LefortCEO Azendoo · Written 1mo ago

Gregory Lefort made this product

Best way to share tasks and sync with your team. For teams who are looking to manage their projects faster and easier.

Chiadi OnyikeFaculty, Johns Hopkins SOM · Written 1mo ago

Great for team sync/collaboration - managing projects, file sharing, messaging (by board, task or directly), assigning tasks, recurring tasks, time tracking, due dates... Syncs to all devices... This app has been brilliant for my work. We've integrated it well with Box, DropBox and Evernote!

Google Keep

Deandre Durr☀️Growth Hacker · Written 1mo ago

It's very handy

Adam PoseyCEO, TrulyAdamant · Written 1mo ago

This is just one of those tools that doesn't tell you how to think, despite being restricting. It does the thing it's supposed to do very, very well and I adore it.

Mark ZajacPeek my curiosity and be rewarded! · Written 1mo ago

Good if you don't put private info. into your notes. Remember, Google Keep is fair game for ads which means google algo scanning. Be careful what you put into your notes and you should be fine.

Omnifocus 2 for Mac

Put your life in perspective and get things done

JayWeb Developer & Designer · Written 1mo ago

Cloud sync, due dates, projects, contexts, notes, recurring tasks, multi-level tasks. I've been using OmniFocus at work for years and love it. Frankly I think most of these other recommendations have too many features you don't need (like team collaboration). If you need something slightly less robust than OmniFocus, I'd try Things (recommended separately). Pay once for the apps (Mac and iOS), and cloud syncing is free. No subscription fees.

Paul WilliamsCreative problem solver. · Written 1mo ago

Links to Apple Reminders app, can connect with your Mail and Calendar - plus the folks at OmniGroup are a nice group of people!

Hugo CastellanosWritten 1mo ago

Bit of high overhead, but once you get used to the flexibility of "perspectives" (essentially saved searches for tasks you need to do) you'll love it. Also, pay once model and upgrade forever.

Things

A delightful and easy to use task manager for Mac and iOS

JayWeb Developer & Designer · Written 1mo ago

Cloud sync, tagging, due dates, projects, focus areas, notes, recurring tasks. I've been using Things for years and love it. Might have slightly fewer features than you need, but I think most of these other ones have too many features you don't need (like team collaboration). If you need something slightly more robust than Things, I'd try OmniFocus (which I will recommend separately). Pay once for the apps (Mac and iOS), and cloud syncing is free. No subscription fees.

Airtable

The perfect tool to stay organized

lindelofNet Friends · Written 1mo ago

Simple, effective, and free. The export function is also very useful.

Yarmo MackenbachPhD Student, ErasmusMC (Rotterdam, NL) · Written 1mo ago

Simply amazing at everything! People using Trello will feel right at home with the Kanban view, and this product just absolutely nails it with the linkable tables!

Mathias ElmoseEducational Developer · Written 1mo ago

Basically I can create the tool that I need with the functions and info I need. I think of Airtable more as project understanding rather than management. And that's equally important to me. Perhaps more.

Pivotal Tracker

Davide Santangelosenior developer · Written 1mo ago

Proven project management for successful teams With a shared view of team priorities, a process that fosters collaboration, and dynamic tools to analyze progress, your team will deliver more frequently and consistently.

I love pivotal tracker, so simple & quick to use.

Teamwork

Powerful & Yet Simple Way to Manage Your Projects & Team

Nichole Elizabeth DeMeréModerator at Product Hunt · Written 1mo ago

Accelerate your team's performance by assigning tasks, communicating and tracking progress in one place. Use the Teamwork Timer to stay on top of your work.

Alec KinnearCreative Director at Foliovision · Written 1mo ago

It's like Basecamp Classic but with features. Teamwork Projects integrates well with its own help desk Teamwork Desk. Integrates well with Freshbooks and other billing systems. Let's you add your own custom CSS. Has lots of controls to stop email promiscuity (which we helped build as we hate unnecessary emails or CC all).

Outplanr

Turn your task list into a real work plan

Filipa NascimentoWritten 2mo ago

Filipa Nascimento made this product

Outplanr turns your to-do list into a clear work plan without effort, making your life easier. Keep projects on track and easily check how much time was spent on each task against your estimates.

Flow

Beautiful team chat with tightly integrated task management

bayoyongOwner, Cinder Creative · Written 1mo ago

Best UI of any project manager I've used. They continue to add features. Love it. Not sure why it hasn't gotten much pub.

Freedcamp

Get started with project management, for free

Caio T.L. AndradeGrad Student · Written 1mo ago

I've been using Freedcamp for years now. The best thing is that it can be used as a solid project management tool, a thing all those other task managers don't do well.

MeisterTask

Abbas Jaffar AliDirector, Tbreak Media · Written 1mo ago

A good Trello replacement with, IMHO, a much slicker UI

Google Calendar (Android)

IntellectuappWe are 4 year old app dedicated website · Written 1mo ago

Easy, very simple, and neat when viewed on desktop. It works great across platforms and you can get reminded about events/tasks offline. It's the best option for users that use gmail and Google services frequently.
