Checkvist vs Priority Matrix

Checkvist hits a sweet spot between minimal and complexity. It gives you a host of options and extras to use on your lists, but you can completely ignore them if you don't need them and keep it very simple. This makes Checkvist a one-stop shop, regardless of what type of 'list' you need.

Search filters help you search for tasks by tag, due date, assignee, etc.

To-do lists often need to be grouped and regrouped for clarity. The outline-based nature of Checkvist makes it easy to move things across categories, to increase and decrease priority, etc.

Parses markdown, html links, hashtags to become formatted text, clickable links, and tags, respectively.

Checkvist offers many free features if you are using this individually.

Any item can have a free-text comment, which can be shown or hidden as desired.

Priority Matrix helps me focus on what's truly important on my todo list, so I can work more efficiently.

All I have to do is press a button, rather than drafting a whole email to one of my co-workers.

The software implements time proven methodologies; not just a to-do list.

Priority Matrix makes it really easy to see your task list in different ways: You can see it in the quadrant view, calendar view, a filterable list, and also a Gantt Chart if you have the business license.
