As such, I am using the core components of the GTD system for our criteria. Let’s set some ground rules before we continue, we need to have some criteria for evaluating these tools so that we can pick the better tools from the mediocre tools. Here’s our roadmap for this little task management tool adventure: If you still disagree with me, fine, leave a comment below. However, I believe that the criteria I use to evaluate the different app choices will be something which we can all agree on and instead of stating the “one perfect” todo app, I will instead suggest a selection of todo apps which are better for different people, and why they are better for them. I accept that this will be quite subjective and you may well disagree with my opinion at the end. So to save you time and to indulge that silly part of my brain that asks the question (I wonder what… is like) I wasted hours of my own time switching between todo apps and trialling out some of the bigger names out there (as well as some of the more obscure ones). There are thousands of different todo apps out there, and if you are not careful, you can end up wasting time switching between todo apps constantly searching for the “perfect todo app” (spoiler alert, there isn’t one) or building your own. I remember seeing a tweet stating that “todo apps are the ‘hello world’ post of app development.” You know, the one everyone has to make to get started as an app developer and usually comes about because they realise they need to get organised and dislike all the options currently out there.
