The best to-do apps. Chosen by the community.
16 to-do apps, chosen by the community. Top of this view: Things 3 — #49 overall. The overall rank spans all apps and changes with every vote. How the ranking works →
To-do apps have the highest drop-out rate of any category: nearly everyone has tried two or three and ended up back with a scrap of paper. So people searching for the best to-do apps are rarely after the most features, but after the one they will actually keep using.

In practice that depends less on scope than on three small things. How fast is a task captured — ideally in one line, with a date in plain language, without picking a project first? How does the app handle the day you got nothing done: does it quietly roll things forward, or build a wall of overdue red? And what happens to a recurring task you skip twice? Then the practical questions: shared lists for a household or a team, reminders that fire in the right place, calendar integration, and an export that gives your data back.
This list is compiled by hand — the stores have no to-do category. It is ordered by upvotes minus downvotes.
