2Do vs Finalist

"2Do adapts to my needs, not the other way around. 2Do gets me." — MacStories 2Do is a to do list, task manager and daily planner in one, with a simple, fluid interface wrapped around a deep and flexible set of features. Keep a quick checklist, run a full GTD® system, or anything in between: there is no wrong way to use 2Do, and it never forces a methodology on you. Rebuilt from the ground up as a true desktop-class iPad app, and a one-time purchase. No subscription, no account to create, no strings attached. DESKTOP GRADE TASK MANAGEMENT • Lists, tasks, the editor and a utility panel with Tags, Nearby and Calendar Events, all on one screen • The editor sits in its own panel beside your list and follows you from task to task; no sheets in the way • Open a second window, keep Today in view while you plan a project beside it, and drag tasks between the two • Full keyboard support with the iPadOS menu bar: capture, navigate, schedule and review without lifting your hands • Split View, Slide Over, drag & drop, pinch to zoom: everything the iPad does well, 2Do does too TYPE IT THE WAY YOU'D SAY IT • New: natural language input. Type "Call the dentist tomorrow at 3pm #health" and 2Do fills in the due date, time and tag as you type • Reads dates, times, repeats, alerts, durations, priorities, tags, lists and saved locations, in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Russian CAPTURE ANYTHING, FAST • Quick Add: touch and hold [+] and file task after task, with dates, tags and lists as you type • Siri & Shortcuts, widgets and Control Center, so capture never waits for the app • Mail to 2Do: your device gets a private email address; anything you send it lands as a task, checklist and all • Quick Open: type a few letters, land on any task or list • A GTD® Inbox for anything not yet sorted SIMPLE TASKS, OR AS MUCH AS YOU NEED • Start with a task, grow it into a checklist or a project with sub-tasks • Notes in Markdown, styled as you type, with links collected for you • Flexible repeats, start dates that hide tasks until they matter, durations and one-tap actions • Attach images and voice notes • Batch edit and drag & drop: defer, tag or move a stack of tasks in one go SMART LISTS: SAVED SEARCHES WITH SUPERPOWERS • Search titles, notes, tags and dates; sounds-like matching finds it even when you can't spell it • Save any search as a one-tap view: your weekly review, stalled projects, errands nearby • Focus filter: set a rule per list and one tap hides everything that can wait TAGS THAT SORT EVERYTHING • One tap on a tag filters your day to that context; Tag Groups keep big collections tidy • Pause a tag and every task carrying it steps out of view until you're ready NEVER MISS A THING • Stack multiple alerts on a task and let 2Do nag until it's done • On iPadOS 26.1 and later, an alert can ring like a Clock alarm: full screen, through Silent mode, until you answer • Nearby: location reminders that fire when you're close enough to do the task • Calendar events appear right above your tasks, so plans never collide SYNC YOUR WAY • iCloud: uses the account already on your device; syncs tasks, Smart Lists, tags, groups and attachments • Apple Reminders: your tasks live in Reminders too, so Siri and anything that reads Reminders can see them • Todoist: connect your account and run your Todoist projects right inside 2Do • Dropbox, Toodledo, Fastmail, or any CalDAV server you trust, including one you run yourself • When two devices meet, 2Do can merge them instead of making you pick a winner • 2Do for Mac is available separately, so your lists follow you to the desktop YOURS, PRIVATELY • Lock single lists or the whole app • Automatic backups, with single-list restore • Share lists over Wi-Fi with 2Do users nearby, no cloud in between • Separate light and dark themes Use 2Do as a simple list, or push it into full GTD® territory. On iPad, it spreads out and feels like the desktop app it truly is.

Inspired by paper planners, Finalist shows your calendar, tasks, notes, reminders and weather forecast in one beautiful timeline. It even pulls in your Journal Suggestions and Activity Rings to keep you inspired. Gorgeous themes make planning a joy, not a chore. Finalist is built for people who finish things, no complex workflows or productivity theater. NOTES, IN YOUR PLANNER Your planner remembers what you wrote. A dedicated Notes tab gives you notebooks, tags and search. Keep native notes that sync over iCloud, or connect a folder of plain markdown files, including your Obsidian vault, and edit them in place. Tasks inside your markdown files become real Finalist tasks: dated, tagged and checkable anywhere in the app. YOUR DAY, ON YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch app puts your whole day one glance away: events, tasks, reminders and habits in one scrollable view, topped by a Now card that always knows what matters next. Check off pinned lists from the wrist, grocery list included, and add tasks by keyboard, scribble or dictation. Complications and a Smart Stack widget round it out. (Requires watchOS 26.) DESIGN YOUR DAY Choose between two Daily designs: Daybook, the classic stacked layout, or Broadsheet, a newsprint-inspired look that shines on iPad and Mac. Rearrange sections with the layout editor and save your own presets. On the rebuilt Timeline, drag tasks onto the grid to sketch your day in pencil, then commit when it's real. "I've tried dozens of planning apps, this is the one that finally works." - Beta user "The integration of Reminders and Lists reduces the apps I need daily and makes planning actually fun." - Beta user Built with native Apple technologies: no accounts to create, syncs over iCloud, supports Family Sharing, and runs on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Vision Pro and Mac. Full database backup, export and import via JSON and OPML. Finalist is a love letter to paper planners.
