Sandglaz vs Turtl

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.”

Turtl has applications for all the major operating systems, as well as Android. In addition, there are extensions available for Firefox and Chrome that cooperate with the downloadable applications.

The app is licensed under GPLv3 making it open source. This means that anyone can use the code and contribute. This also makes it easy to use on one's own server or for company solutions.

After assigning a password to your account in Turtl, a key is created to encrypt the entire account. No data is stored on their servers meaning they have no access to unencrypted content. This is a huge leg up when comparing to other Evernote alternatives.
