2Do vs MyLifeOrganized

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.

They're using google groups, but they're really responsive and friendly, also to beginners.

If you have a complicated to do list, this app can organize it into group of items. In fact, this is the main feature of the software.

The text search is excellent. It comes with some default views, but you can create custom hierarchical and flat views, using some quite powerful logic, to focus on tasks by almost any criteria you can think of.

Create custom views by numerous filters and triggers.

Quickly and deeply manage your tasks .

Each Context may include other Contexts. This can form a hierarchy (or even a net) of contexts. For example Contexts "Phone" and "Internet" can be included to the Context "Work" as well as to the Context "Home".

A Context may have a schedule: specific times during which it is open or closed. If a Context you select as a To-Do filter is closed at the moment, the tasks associated with this Context will not be shown in the To-Do list.

This feature help user to visualize their daily workload in a graph form (mobile version) , so it assist to plan future tasks and events in a sense of work/life balance. Just simply connect to google calendar, you could view your events and tasks, and plan effectively.

MLO can parse or interpret the text you enter in Inbox on mobile and in some text input fields on Windows. For example you can enter "in 30 min" or "next Friday at 2pm" in date and time pickers. In Rapid Task Entry dialog you can even type: "Call Bob about the party tomorrow at 3pm remind 10 min in advance". The parameters of the task will be converted from the text automatically.

If you have a complicated to do list, this app can organize it into group of items. In fact, this is the main feature of the software.

MLO (Window) can print PocketMod, which is a A4 paper that you can fold into a small booklet. Each page of this booklet can contain different information you select from the MLO app. It's very helpful especially on the occasion that you need to rely on paper only, such as camping, retreat, outdoor gaming activity, etc.

It is much cheaper than subscription-based apps . MLO license doesn't expire. Upgrade is optional and offered with a discount.

Easy to create your own workflow.

Robust implementation of recurrence options. You can set it to repeat every N day every N months, repeat N day after the completion the main task can recurs once all/any subtasks are completed, and other.

MLO automatically sorts the tasks in To-Do based on user input.

Excellent for organizing in the GTD style of David Allen.
