That’s a time saver for people who like to record voice notes. You can also record an audio or video inside Any.do and attach it directly without opening or using any third-party app. So, you can add notes, subtasks (Microsoft calls it Steps), and share lists with others. I miss that feature in Microsoft’s To-Do app. You will never forget to pick something up on your way home. One cool trick is the ability to add location-based reminders. You can quickly assign the task to smart lists like Today or Someday. Any.do has picked up a thing or two from GTD system pioneered by David Allen. You can add a person, hashtag, reminder, and assign a list using the bottom bar while creating a task. Grocery list loads by default and it will suggest some common household items for you to add. Again, tap the ‘+’ icon to create lists and tasks. They are all housed under All Tasks list. Just four time-based lists: Today, Tomorrow, Upcoming, and Someday. There are no Important, Completed, or All lists. Tapping on a hashtag inside any task will list all tasks that might belong to any other list or group.Īny.do comes with far less smart lists than To-Do. A hidden trick is the hashtags (#keyword). There’s no OneDrive supported either.Īn interesting option is the ability to add Steps. Surprisingly, you can’t attach files from cloud storage. You can include additional notes and attach files at the bottom for further reference. Marking any task by hitting the star icon will add it to the Important smart list. Tap on the newly created task to further customize it. Inside the list, you can add tasks and add due dates, reminders, and set it to repeat. Noticed the smiley icon under the New list window? That’s for choosing an emoji. There is no way to upload a new photo yet and options are limited. You can type a name but more importantly, choose a color and a photo. Tap on the ‘+’ icon on the bottom-left corner to create a list in Microsoft To-Do app. I hope Microsoft To-Do adds hashtag supports soon. There is a separate tab for accessing tags at the top. Like To-Do, you have to go back and forth to switch lists.Īny.do follows the grid layout with a bottom bar where you can access Tasks, Calendar, and Settings. Enter a list to find more options on what you can do with that list and the tasks it contains. To its right is an box icon to add a list. There is the familiar ‘+’ icon at the bottom-left to create a new list. You’ll have to tap your profile picture to access Settings.
Just a bunch of smart lists at the top and under them are the lists and groups that you created. Microsoft To-Do comes with no bottom or sidebar. We will try and uncover those aspects that are seldom talked about.īoth Any.do and Microsoft To-Do apps carry a polished and beautiful interface. While the basic function of any to-do app is clear, a lot is happening under the hood that can go amiss. So we will compare these two and understand their pros and cons in a better light. Any.do is another to-do app that holds a higher position in the popularity charts despite rising competition. I believe that acquiring Wunderlist must’ve helped to an extent.
That said, Microsoft To-Do has quickly made a name for itself. If you don’t have either, you can use your email address.Plenty of to-do list app options available on the App Store and Play Store are bound to confuse you. You must have a Google account to access the service.Īny.do is flexible as you can use your Google or Facebook account. Google Tasks has this drawback, as you can’t use other sign-up methods. Google Tasks only sends notifications on mobile as there isn’t an official desktop app. Google Tasks also allows one reminder at a time, but as mentioned, you can set repetition for birthdays and habits. The app can send desktop and mobile notifications. It does not support location reminders for free. Check out its comparison with Todoist and TickTick. I have compared Google Tasks with other productivity apps. Users in Google Workspace can also use Google Chat and Tasks to collaborate on projects. Google Tasks alone does not offer this feature, but there are some ways to share Google Tasks. Features like tasks, reminders, and files are shared with the other person. It allows you to share a whole list with anyone with an Any.do account.Īll you need to do is input their email, and the receipt will have access to the list. Here is another feature where Any.do drowns its competitor.
