TODO List Table
Read full descriptionHide full description
See the whole picture on one board instead of repeatedly scrolling through a long list. TODO Table keeps familiar to-do features while spreading your tasks across one open spatial board with no time-based lanes. The board is 2.5 times the default view in both width and height—6.25 screen areas in total. Use the central area or move cards into the outer space to build a layout you can remember. Create a task from the bottom Add button. Tap a card to edit it, or drag it anywhere across the spatial board. Pinch to zoom from 0.4× to 2.5× and pan between the broad overview and fine detail. Tap Show All in the lower-right corner to automatically adjust the scale and position until every visible task fits on screen. Open Dividers from the bottom bar to organize the table with freehand strokes, straight lines, rectangles, and ellipses. Choose line colors and widths, erase, undo, or clear the board. You can also place headings and notes directly on the table, then use visible handles to move, resize, or rotate each label. While editing dividers, use two fingers to pan or zoom without drawing. Completed cards use a checkmark and strikethrough, and you can choose in Settings whether they remain on the field. Hidden completed tasks stay available in the Completed list for review or restoration. Long-press any card to open an action menu with Archive and Delete. Archived cards can return from the task list, and deletion always asks for confirmation.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: TODO List Table at none against Idea Notes's shown. TODO List Table also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
