Reminders: Even the best to-do list app can’t bring structure to your life if you never check the dang thing.We considered only apps with interfaces that were nice to look at and easy to navigate. Design: Trying to keep everything in order can quickly become tedious, and an unattractive interface will muck things up even further.

If you don’t have a sensible way to categorize your tasks, the overwhelming fear that you’re forgetting to do something important will just be replaced by the anxiety of not knowing how to prioritize your responsibilities. Organization: We favored apps that offered features like subtasks, projects, and task labels to keep all your work tidy and in the right place.We preferred apps that displayed tasks alongside calendar events, but we also considered any app that plugged into calendars from Google Calendar, iCloud, or other services. This makes it easier to triage your workload effectively. Calendar integration: Apps that integrate with your existing calendar, whether by showing the day’s events above the daily tasks or having a separate calendar tab, give a better overview of all the information you need to best determine how to tackle your work.
