2Do conforms to your workflow instead of forcing you to conforming into some preset workflow. It helps to accommodate your workflow through a series of features including tags, batch editing, configurable presets, and the ability to quickly add tasks at any time.
Pro Offers detailed options
Adding a task can be as simple or complicated as you like. A to-do list entry can simply consist of its title, or you can also add notes, recurrence, set a due date, tag a location, schedule an alarm, priority (low, medium, high, starred) and tack on a URL or photo. You can even make an audio recording with voice notes. And each list is sortable by a number of criteria, including priority and due date.
Pro Updates have remained free since beginning of time
Unlike many other apps that will release a new paid version when major features get launched, 2Do doesn't resort to that.
Pro Variety of organization methods
Use a combination of tasks, projects and checklists.
Pro Get Things Done-style inbox
You can use 2Do according to the Get Things Done methodology – or not.
Pro Advanced search
Find old tasks or organize smart lists based on complex search terms (for example, “tasks to do at home between 6 pm and 11 pm”).
Pro Support for Apple Watch
Pro Optionally sync with iCal or Outlook
The app can optionally sync with iCal or Outlook with free helper software available from the 2Do Website.
Pro Share individual events (tasks/projects/meetings)
You can easily and automatically create a stand-alone webpage for every single event. Add all the details for the event, then share the event page link with anyone who needs to help/be part of it. You can use comments to discuss details on the event page. Easy, free, makes it easy to collaborate on individual tasks or projects without a big setup.
Pro Powerful calendar
Integrate schedule with your task management --- because if you don't know when you're going to do it, are you ever going to?
Pro Small, dedicated team
Boot-strapped company, run by the original founders/developers, fully committed to supporting and improving the product over time. Over 3 million users currently
Pro Scalable
