2Do vs Tasks

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.

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.

Unlike many other apps that will release a new paid version when major features get launched, 2Do doesn't resort to that.

Use a combination of tasks, projects and checklists.

You can use 2Do according to the Get Things Done methodology – or not.

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”).

The app can optionally sync with iCal or Outlook with free helper software available from the 2Do Website.

Many configuration options.

Tasks can create events on your calendar if you set a due date and time. It also syncs the state (completed).

The setup page of a task takes only a single page, which makes it fast and easy add one. But there are still a lot of options available, like:

• date and time
• repeating
• priority (four different colors)
• category
• list
• reminder (by time or location, different ringing schemes)
• attachement
• description
• hide until
• add to calendar
• timer

Widgets can be truly customized. You can set a filter by automatic list (today, recent, uncategorized) or tag or list. There is a light, a black and a dark theme, plus a color setting. The opacity can be set, as well as the font size. Then you can decide to show the header, the settings, the due date, or the checkboxes.

Tasks allows you to import your data from Astrid.
