Plan your day with the reminders and calendars you already use. GoodTask builds on Apple Reminders and Calendar, bringing your to-do lists, schedule and projects together. "a masterful blend of power-user task management features and the inherent simplicity of Reminders." - Federico Viticci, MacStories, on GoodTask for iOS (2018) Start with a simple checklist. Add Smart Lists, flexible views and Quick Actions as your needs grow. Use iCloud to keep your reminders and calendar events in sync across devices. PLAN A DAY THAT WORKS Choose what to work on in Today Page without changing your tasks' due dates. See your calendar events alongside your plan, then use Next Page to focus on one task or subtask at a time. Set a focus timer and look back on completed work and daily notes in Reports. FIND WHAT NEEDS YOUR ATTENTION Create Smart Lists that bring together tasks from different lists. Filter by dates, priorities, tags and more to see what matters now: overdue work, errands or the next steps in a project. Update a task wherever you find it, and the change stays with the original reminder. SEE YOUR WORK YOUR WAY Switch between list, day, week and month views. Organize tasks in kanban-style boards by date, priority, list or tag. Use Matrix View to compare priorities in four customizable quadrants, or Project View to follow tasks and events across dates. SPEND LESS TIME ORGANIZING Capture tasks with presets and text snippets. Customize Quick Actions to reschedule work, change priorities, move tasks between lists or add tags. Make changes to several tasks at once with bulk actions. SIMPLIFY RECURRING WORK Break tasks into subtasks, set flexible repeating schedules and save reusable Templates for routines such as a weekly review or packing for a trip. KEEP YOUR PLAN CLOSE Personalize colors, fonts and task displays. On iPhone and iPad, use widgets to keep your lists in sight. On supported iPhones, follow a focus session with Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. The Apple Watch companion lets you check tasks and add new ones from your wrist when used with an iPhone.

Verdict

The call
