Clear Todos vs Things 2

Interaction design is the best feature of Clear, you can navigate the entire app via intuitive gestures. Clear takes advantage of touch screen features, using only finger gestures such as swiping, pulling or tapping to create a new task, remove one or editing one.

The app can reliably sync over iCloud with your other iOS devices and your Mac.

Clear now supports the iPad, and the app really shines when it comes to using this new expanse. Instead of showing you only a single list of lists or tasks, as the older iPhone-only version did, on an iPad the new Clear splits the main view into two columns: On the left is your master list of lists (containing, for example, lists for personal, work, and home); on the right is the list of tasks for whichever list you select.

Users need to create an account for Things Cloud (the account can be created from any device). Once signed up, cloud sync will be active, and you’ll have to login on all of your devices to complete setup. From that point on, syncing happens in the background. It is invisible and always reliable.

At the beginning of every day, a yellow box appears at the top of the Today section, displaying all tasks scheduled for this day. You can investigate them, and then decide which ones you’ll have for that day and which one you’d rather want to delay.

Things 2 works from the moment you start it up. Simply add a task and when you want it done by. You can also add notes to tasks or tag when you need them. Things allows you to quickly and easily start keeping track of your tasks.

Things 2 has a projects feature that allows you to organize your tasks together. You can select a project you need to get done and Things helps you focus on each task to get it done. You can even group projects together to focus on the most important aspect of your life at the time.

Things is one of the best apps of doing Getting Things Done.

It's very easy filtering tasks that belong to various areas (etc private vs work)

Logical and responsive navigation and editing. Easy to operate.

The calendar view (when selecting a due date for a task) is a customized, scrollable version of the default iOS calendar view. This makes it look familiar, but also functional for Things 2's requirements.
