Most task apps flatten your life into a list. DoTree doesn't. Here you break a goal down as far as you actually think â from the big ambition to the next small step. Folders inside folders, like a file system. Everything draggable, like files. And when it's time to work, you never have to look at the tree: the Active view shows only what's due now. âĒ A TREE, NOT A LIST: unlimited depth, projects with progress bars â weighted by effort if you want âĒ WHAT'S ACTUALLY DUE: the Active view pulls today out of a thousand tasks, grouped by date or by priority âĒ IMPORTANT, OR MERELY URGENT: an Eisenhower matrix separates the two â and shows what's allowed to wait âĒ BEFORE YOU OVERCOMMIT: the Forecast adds up every day's hours and flags the ones where you've planned more than fits âĒ SPEAK IT INSTEAD OF TYPING: say what's on your mind and DoTree turns it into a structured outline with dates and effort, on device, for you to review before anything is created âĒ RECURRENCE THAT THINKS: fixed to a date even when things pile up, or starting over once you're done â weekdays, month days, multi-year rhythms âĒ DATES THAT INHERIT: subtasks take start and due dates from above, with optional times âĒ YOUR OWN ORDER: contexts with icons and colors, life areas, stars, and an idea store for everything that isn't a commitment yet âĒ APPLE CALENDAR: task time spans appear as entries in dedicated DoTree calendars, and move along when your dates change âĒ REMINDERS: push tasks to Apple Reminders and check them off on either side â done is done, everywhere âĒ ATTACHMENTS: photos straight from the camera, voice notes, videos, files âĒ BRING YOUR STUFF: import from MyLifeOrganized (XML), export everything as JSON whenever you like âĒ EVERYWHERE YOU WORK: iPhone, iPad, and Mac â with a widget and optional Face ID lock YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DoTree at none against 12w Planner's 3. DoTree also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). 12w Planner's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
