Not every task deserves your attention. iDo helps you sort tasks by urgency and importance with the Eisenhower Matrix, so you know what to do now, schedule, delegate, or delete. PRIORITIZE WITH THE EISENHOWER MATRIX Organize every task into four clear quadrants: • Do Now — Urgent and important. Handle it immediately. • Schedule — Important but not urgent. Plan it for later. • Delegate — Urgent but not important. Hand it off. • Delete — Neither urgent nor important. Let it go. See your entire workload at a glance on the Home Matrix. Tap any quadrant to dive into its task list, sorted by Overdue, Today, Upcoming, and No Due Date.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Loose Ends at none against iDo's shown. iDo's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
