Features
Yearly to agenda calendar views
Calendar views cover yearly, monthly, weekly, daily and agenda layouts, with multi-day and multi-week views for adjusting a schedule across blocks of time.
Pomodoro focus timer
A built-in Pomodoro timer splits tasks into 25-minute intervals so focus sessions run inside the task list, with statistics on focus duration.
Habit tracker and countdowns
A habit library with flexible tracking options and statistics supports daily routines, and countdowns record birthdays, exams and project deadlines.
Natural language date entry
Dates and times are recognized as text is typed, setting smart reminders without opening a date picker; constant reminders keep ringing until a task is checked off.
Kanban, timeline and Eisenhower views
Lists can be displayed as Kanban boards, timeline, split view or an Eisenhower matrix, and a sticky note mode keeps quick notes alongside tasks.
What users say
Pros
- Tasks sync smoothly between desktop, phone and tablet, so one list stays current everywhere.
- Tasks, habits, calendar and Pomodoro timers all sit in one app instead of several separate tools.
- Adding a task takes a few taps from the phone or home-screen widget, so ideas get written down fast.
- Task descriptions accept markdown notes and links, so project details sit next to the to-do item.
Cons
- Tasks carry a single date, with no separate start or do date to show when work should begin.
- AI suggestion buttons show up in task views with no full option to block them.
- Unscheduled tasks cannot be dragged into a different order on the calendar view.
- A yearly plan charged a card again after the subscription had been cancelled.
