2Do allows you to make these inputs into tasks.Ģ. Or we think of an idea and want to speak it rather than type it. For many, this is just how life works–we want to take a picture of a bill and convert it to a task to remind us to pay it. You can attached a photo (whether from your Camera Roll or one you take from within the 2Do app) or voice memo to a task. That I have no additional major critiques than these is actually significant, since I’m a little picky when it comes to this kind of app. But here’s to hoping 2Do adds support for email-to-task automation in a future release–one of the few things missing in this slick app. (It will be enough to learn 2Do.) For iOS email-to-task conversion, folks might consider the Dispatch app. There’s also a workaround using Toodledo that allows you to email tasks to 2Do, but non-users of Toodledo would have to create a new account and learn a new app to be able to do that. You can convert a Mac Mail message right to a 2Do task, however, described here, and that may be all some users need. Outlook, OmniFocus, Todoist, and Evernote all allow this, for example. This, in my view, is a key necessity of a good task management app. There are workarounds, but there is no easy and direct way to convert or forward emails to tasks from wherever you are. You can’t really email a task in to the app, per se. TL DR: Cross-device syncing with 2Do is about as good as it gets, but not perfect.Ģ. Still, it’s a minor hassle when using the app. (2Do syncs via Dropbox, iCloud, Toodledo, or your CalDAV server.) Tasks and changes don’t sync instantaneously across devices (like Apple’s Reminders do), but this is more due to Apple’s limitations on third-party apps than any shortfall on 2Do’s part. Sync is good (via Dropbox), but not quite instantaneous.Ī recent release offered some significant improvement in sync speed, i.e., push sync. But there are a few things that I would hope could be improved.ġ. And it has the most aesthetically pleasing interface out of any task management app I’ve used ( OmniFocus, Things, Todoist…). Here I consider 2Do.Īllow me to get the critiques out of the way first, because I really do like this app–a lot. That’s all preface to why you are reading yet another task management app review on this blog. Maybe I’m just picky, though I’m far from the only one. We adjust, of course, and it’s this phenomenon that has coders writing new task management apps as we speak. (And life is more than doing stuff, anyway.)īut the answer to the question in the header above is that each task management app I’ve tried does not quite fit all my preferences. Well, no, I’d still have to do all the tasks. If I could have the sync of Things, the layout and tagging and look of 2Do, the simplicity of Todoist, and the power and custom perspectives of OmniFocus, I’d have my perfect task management app.
