Getting Things Done on Your iPhone or iPod Touch
Over 17 years after launching the Newton platform and jumpstarting the PDA market, Apple today is a leader in the smartphone category that has taken over both PDAs and phones. These devices were originally designed to help you keep your life organized digitally. Although many of us enjoy playing games and goofing off online from our modern iDevices, there are many apps that can help you keep your life organized and productive on the go.
This week on Techinch.com, we’re going to be featuring a number of to-do list apps that can help you stay on schedule and get everything you need to get done, done. Many of us have trouble fitting everything into a schedule; there’s no specific time of the day you need to change the oil or buy that new domain name, for instance. I much prefer flexible project-orientated to-do lists with all of the tasks I need to do. There’s tons of great options for this on iOS, so we’re going to look at a number of different to-do list apps, including some well-known apps and some newer ones:
- Things
- 2Do
- SpeedTask
- Zenbe Lists
- Firetask
- Today Todo
- TaskForce
- Plus, we’ve already covered Satchel and Summit, both of which can be used to make Backpack and Basecamp, respectively, into great to-do list tools.
While we all know there’s always more than one way to do anything, it’s impressive how each of these apps has managed to be unique and offer different ways of managing your tasks. Whether you prefer to keep all of you to-dos managed by date or project, sorted with tags, simple or filled with notes and locations, or just a plain list with no extra bells and whistles, there’s an app for everyone that will help you manage tasks just like you want. Stay tuned for our reviews, and then we’ll follow up with a thorough overview to help you choose the app that’s best for you. Or, if you have a favorite to-do list app that you’d like to see featured, leave a comment and let us know why this app is your favorite!
