Momentum

Top Pro

Clean design

Lots of space helps focus on the tasks. See More

Top Con

GTD specific

Sara Kauppila's Experience

I changed to Momentum from Todoist about one and half years ago, and I am very happy with my decision. The most important difference between the two apps for me is that Momentum feels much less cluttered than Todoist. In Todoist I found the various complicated structures one easily ends up creating to distract away from the actual tasks and take too much effort to manage. Momentum in turn offers a setup where it is much easier it keep your things in good order without spending too much time on managing them. Momentum doesn't have a place to put tasks for a particular day, which I found very useful because in other apps I often ended up piling tasks for a particular day and mostly ignoring the rest. Not having a place for them encourages one to think about what are really time specific tasks (one can then put them to one's calendar), reducing stress that easily comes with having a lot of time specific tasks, and leaving more time for the non time specific ones.

This product is just perfect for GTD after you watch some short videos. It's simple to use and straightforward. Simple like that See More

Top Pro

Automated next steps

Next steps have a separate view. Tasks can be updated sequentially or parallel. See More

Matt Esslinger's Experience

I've used Momentum for about a year now. Before that, I used a range of other productivity and ToDo tools. I never managed to stick with one for long as there was always some integral aspect missing. There are two main features which I love about it: I can access it from any device. It always looks and works the same. There are no structural limitations. Therefore, I can use it to structure any professional and private project. It's true that the interface needs a little getting used to - but once you understand the underlying concept of the "iceberg", it becomes quite intuitive. See More

Nozbe

Top Pro

Practical integrations with some favorite tools

Nozbe integrates with email, Evernote, Dropbox, Google Drive, Box, Google Calendar, etc. See More

Top Con

Task dependencies missing

Nozbe is great, but one shortcoming relates to "task dependencies" in projects. You should be able to sequence your tasks so that, when you complete a task, the next one that needs to be done becomes the "priority" task for that project. This is a vital feature that will make the program dramatically more useful. The company claims to be working on this improvement. See More

Specs

Platforms:iOS / Android / Win / Linux / OSX / Web

Collaborative:yes

API:yes

Top Pro

Nice and simple user interface

Nozbe is based on Getting Things Done (GTD), a productivity philosophy created by David Allen. However, you don't need to know the methodology to use the tool. You can just add projects, tasks, and attachments, and gradually learn to use the other features to organize your time even better. See More

Top Con

Limited free plan

After the free trial you can choose to remain on a free plan, but you’ll be restricted to a max of 5 projects and will have limitations on collaboration. See More
