2Do vs Sandglaz

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.

The interface is built around the concept of "infinity grids" where tasks are placed into time-based milestone periods. Any non-completed tasks from the current milestone automatically move to the next milestone. As such Sandglaz is best suited for teams that plan projects and tasks in milestone sprints.

The interface consists of columns of tasks organized in either days or weeks with a slide-out panel for accessing settings, search, notifications and navigating projects. Expanding a task gives access to adding subtasks, notes, attachments, comments, setting due dates, etc. Overall the interface is very utilitarian in execution with only the bare minimum of functionality taking up the space at any given time.

Tasks are assigned with @username. Each project can be shared with its own team of collaborators. And hashtags are used for categories.

Uncompleted tasks move to the next day automatically.

You can assign tasks with @username and communicate about your collaborative to-dos right within the context of the tasks. You can also share each project with its own team of collaborators.

Sandglaz allows users to create really smart recurring tasks – everything from “weekly” to “on the fourth Saturday of the month.”
