If you’ve ever just needed to create a quick tasks list - one that won’t send you annoying email reminders, or desktop notifications, but that you or anyone else could add tasks to, without being bothered by complicated group sharing, or permissions - Flask is the web app to try out. It’s a to-do list app that works perfectly on your desktop and mobile devices. You don’t need to sign up for an account to use it, and can create as many lists as you like. The lists can then be edited by anyone you share them with. To save a list, you have to either bookmark it, or email its link to yourself. Tasks can be marked as done, and also distinguished from each other by assigning them one of the pre-set color labels. Read More

Mailbox is arguably this year’s most popular third-party email app for iPhone and iPod touch, and it has now finally been optimized for use on the iPad.

Let's check it out in more detail after the jump! Read More

myQuests Is A Great Gesture-Based iPhone Project Manager For Teams

It is a common practice among developers these days to make to-do list apps that rely heavily on gestures and color-coding. Clear kicked off this trend, but more recently we have seen similar concepts implemented in apps like Listacular. Since the whole point of using gestures in a task manager is to make it uncomplicated, these apps aren't too heavy on features. The new myQuests though, clearly shows that it is possible for an app to be feature-rich without making things too tangled up. The app can prove to be a great tool for project management, specially when you have to work in a group, because it lets users share tasks with others, and has an elaborate commenting system of its own that can be used to stay up to speed with all the latest happenings regarding any to-do list or individual task.

Insanely Popular To-Do List App Clear For iPhone Available For Free

Leave a comment
App developers and even big companies like Apple are always accusing others of copying their ideas or different unique features. The rise of Siri was followed by a barrage of voice-controlled personal assistants. Having said that, few third-party apps reach the level of popularity where developers on the platform (and even other platforms) start copying them. Clear managed to do that, with clones coming out on Android, and even on the Mac App Store where it has an official client of its own. It’s not like the app costs too much on iOS (priced at only $0.99) but some people just refuse to spend money on apps if there is a free or stock alternative available. For such users, it is now possible to download Clear without spending anything, as long as they are living in the U.S. This is because Clear has been nominated as the Starbucks ‘App of the Week’.

Postpone Is A To-Do List Web App With Mailbox-Like Task Reminders

The world is an unorganized mess and there is a good chance that merely making a mental list of things you want to do will do you little or no good. It’s precisely why a new to-do app and task manager pops up every other day, and Postpone is yet another service for this very purpose. Postpone groups your tasks into workspaces and with a free account, you can add up to three workspaces. Each task has a title and a description. Tasks can be marked as done, kept in you current workspace's task box, or moved to the ‘Snoozed’ box.  Much like Mailbox for iOS, when snoozing a task, you can select when it will return to the main task box. You can use one of the preset time intervals or enter a time and date of your choice. The other noteworthy feature in Postpone is that you can ‘mention’ people who are involved in a particular task, provided they have a Postpone account too. This not only allows them to know when they've been included in a task, but also lets you search your tasks by person. In all objectivity, it’s an immensely productive use of the ‘mention’ concept that is largely used by social media sites. Postpone is currently in private beta and the invite codes can take up to a month to arrive in your inbox. Read More

At one time or another, you must have come across the name Wunderlist. The popular to-do list application that debuted on Windows has earned its fair share of success on Windows, web and mobile platforms including iOS, Android and Windows Phone.

After a successful run on iOS, the official Asana Mobile app has been released for Android as well. Asana is easily one of the most sought after project management web apps, and its availability on the mobile platform gives any team of people working together, the ability to keep themselves and others updated with every development regarding a task or project. Having been just released for Android, I feel the app's UI needs to be slightly more user friendly for those who have just started with Asana. That said, the app brings almost all the Asana features you'll require for collaboration on the go. We take a look at the app and how it functions after the break. Read More

The Notes app in iOS is handy for a lot of purposes, but no one is ever likely to call it a great music discovery tool. Yet, many people use it to keep track of all the song suggestions they get from friends or various other sources. Now however, there is a much more efficient way of making sure you never forget any music-related suggestion in the future. From its interface, you might be fooled into seeing Listn as just another to-do list app for the iPhone. On the contrary, the app combines the organizational convenience of task management lists with music discovery. This match might sound a bit unlikely at first but once you use Listn, your thoughts are sure to change. All it takes is searching for a song or artist in the app, and then remembering to put a checkmark against its name once you have listened to the track. As a bonus, Listn also offers complete artist bios and various album art photos to spice things up. Read More

Just yesterday, we covered the Reminders+ Cydia tweak that allows you to pin any reminder to their iPhone’s lock screen. Though being a Cydia tweak, you need to jailbreak your iOS device in order to install it.

Task Paper adds full to-do lists to the lock screen or Springboard of your iDevice by converting the lists into customizable wallpapers that can be applied to your device like any ordinary image. The app does have its obvious limitations like the extra step involved to apply the wallpaper but in the end, it gets the job done. Read More

Android users who want to be reminded about their most important tasks, notes and to-do lists via custom notifications have several apps available for the purpose, such as Lotify, Notif and ReNotify. All three of these take full advantage of the rich notifications announced in Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. While it’s pretty useful to be able to compose personalized notifications from your Android device itself, what's even more convenient is being able to do so straight from your desktop browser. This is precisely the idea behind PushBullet – a free web app that allows you to remotely push custom notifications from a desktop browser straight to your Android device over the internet. Of course, you’ll need the PushBullet mobile app running on your Android device in order to receive all the remotely pushed content. Read More

A lot of my friends recommend movies and books to me that are really interesting but most of the time, I forget these suggestions pretty quickly. You can always note such suggestions down, but a proper list is always easier to manage than a drab snippet of text. However, it seems a little counter-intuitive to add such recommendations to your reminders. What you need is an app like Done Not Done. Designed for the iPhone, this app acts like a manageable wishlist that keeps track of all the activities you plan to pursue in your free time. In addition to manually entering names of books, movies, songs, audiobooks and other items, you also get recommendations from the app itself based on the activities of your Twitter and Facebook friends.

List Lite Is A Gesture-Based To-Do List App That Imitates Clear For OS X

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Meet List Lite, a free to-do list Mac app that mimics Clear, which is worth $9.99 on the Mac App Store. The app is a fairly good imitation with some slight interface differences but full gesture support. It responds well to trackpad gestures and runs in the Menu Bar, though it will add an unnecessary icon in the Dock as well (just like Clear). There are no preferences to manage in the app, and you can start adding items immediately. You get a select number of colors to differentiate between the tasks, but unlike Clear - where the color of tasks gets successively lighter (much like a heat map) according to priority - the colors for a task in List Lite stay fixed.

Siri might be the most hyped virtual assistant out there, but when you take a closer look at it, you are sure to realize that it is little more than a novelty feature in most scenarios. Sure, it can create reminders and provide you with quick answers to simple questions, but that’s about it. Now, take away all of Siri’s bells and whistles (along with her ability to speak) and endow it with a ton of new, useful features, and you will have 24me. This iOS app truly deserves to be called a personal assistant. With 24me, you won’t have to worry about personal reminders, reminders to pay the bills, remembering your friends’ birthdays and making important calls. The app integrates a lot of financial and service accounts, so that notifications from your phone company, the cable guys and the bank can all be viewed on one screen, and that too without having to painstakingly configure each task manually!
