Producteev

In my quest for the perfect task manager, Producteev stood out as being one of the absolute

best, without a doubt. In fact, my decision ultimately came down to Producteev vs Flow and

Flow really only won out because I liked its interface and usability better. Otherwise,

Producteev wouldve had me and I wouldve been very, veryhappy.

Producteev isnt just fantastic for the individual, its built for teams too. It has the best

integration Ive seen with Google Calendar and a host of other apps for top notch team

communication. If youre thinking about trying Producteev, stop thinking and just do it. You

have nothing to lose considering its free and paid plans come with a free 2-week trial. See

our review [3].

2. Flo [4]

If youre a fan of Mac-style interface designs, Flow will likely appeal to you. During its initial

beta phase, I was impressed by its interface design but wasnt quite won over by itsfunctionality and features. Having taken another look recently, it really grabbed my attention.

This is my favorite task management app, by far.


4/14

Flow has an elegance, simplicity and seamless functionality about it that just gets me. And

what I mean by that is the app works with me rather than requiring me to work with it. That

isnt to say it will be such a great fit for everyone, but its certainly worth trying. See our review

[5].

PicingFlow costs $9.99 per month for individual accounts, so it isnt cheap. The more accounts you

buy, the more of a discount you get (up to 50% for 10+ accounts). You can optionally pay

$99 per year and they have a 30% beta discount available right now coming in at $69.30 for

the first year.

Its not cheap, but some may find its worth the price. Theres a large number of people

complaining about the $9.99 per month price point so who knows, maybe theyll drop it in the

near future?

3. Remembe The Milk [6]


5/14

Remember The Milk

Remember The Milk (RTM) has been around for quite awhile; its time tested and

Web.AppStorm approved. Its not just our approval theyve received though, RTM is used and

loved by thousands of users. RTM is also available on a wide selection of platforms including

Android, BlackBerry and Windows Mobile.

RTM has fantastic integration with a variety of services such as Google Maps, Google

Calendar (and iCalendar), instant messengers and more. For the platform and feature

availability RTM offers, its even more amazing that its free! Of course youll probably want to

upgrade to a Pro account for all the features, but its only $25 per year. See our review [7].

4. Wndeli [8]


6/14

Wunderlist

Wunderlist began on Mac and recently expanded to include web and Windows clients. This is,

of course, in addition to iPhone, iPad and Android access. Its a much simpler task manager

than the others weve looked at so far but sports a great looking and well functioning

interface. If youre looking for a clean and simple multi-platform task manager, this may well

be the one for you. Plus, its free! See our review [9].

5. TeDe [10]


7/14

TeuxDeux

If youre a fan of minimalism and Wunderlist was right up your alley, TeuxDeux may well be

your cup of tea as well. TeuxDeux takes minimalism to a whole new level, simplifying taskmanagement like never before. Its a fresh take on task management that sports a different

kind of interface and task view. If youre looking for simplicity, give this one a try; plus you

have nothing to lose since its free. See our review [11].

6. Niana [12]


8/14

Nirvana

I discovered Nirvana back when it was in beta and was pleasantly surprised by its interfacedesign and functionality. It wasnt quite ready at the time but was rapidly improving and very

usable. Its a fantastic task management app, especially during a time when the competition

wasnt as stiff as it is today, but doesnt seem to have kept up with the competition in a few

areas (like platform support).

Although Im much more a fan of Flow or Wunderlists interface design, Nirvanas interface is

still clean and very easy to use, also sporting features other popular apps dont. Its still in

beta so you can expect more improvements before its fully released, but its definitely ready

to use as is. See our review [13].

Nirvana is free at the moment and is said to always maintain a free version, though an

upgraded version will likely cost you around $5 per month.

7. Google Tak [14]

10/14

Todoist

Surprisingly I hadnt heard of Todoist until late last year. Dont let their lacking home page

design fool you, this is one powerful task management app with all sorts of extra integration

such as GMail, browser plugins and more. If youre working with a team, Wedoist is their sister

app built exactly for that.

Todoists interface is, like the other apps here, clean and organized, although some might not

find it quite as simple. Its definitely featured packed and powerful, not to mention a very

popular (and time tested) solution. To make it even better, its free.

9. Doi.im [16]

Doit.im

Doit.im has come a long way since we last reviewed it back in 2010. Theyve since launched a

brand new interface and the app sports lots of great features. The interface, while improved,

has further improvements it will need to make before it will be able to compete with other top

apps, but it might just be your cup of tea. Having said that, theres a little icon in the app that

looks like a beaker (indicating lab testing features).

Click that icon and youll see their brand new interface, which is quite an improvement over its

predecessor. Just as with other apps listed here, the interface is AJAX enhanced and

functions quite quick and smooth. Sign up is free so you have nothing to lose in trying it out.

SikeApp [20]

StrikeApp

Yet another cool app from the ZURB team, Strike is a super simple [to-do] list app thats built

with easy sharing in mind. This is another one of their apps Ill be bookmarking with my other

super awesome cool web tools. And its free!


13/14

MobileMe Calenda[21]

MobileMe Calendar

MobileMe was a popular response in our recent poll on which task managers people used,

which quite surprised me. I wasnt actually aware that MobileMe had any form of task

management built in and technically it doesnt. However, some consider the Calendar app as

a solid form of task management, and I would agree. Well be taking a deeper look at the

MobileMe suite soon, so stay tuned.

Yo Sggeion?

These are some seriously great apps, but I know there are even more out there. What is your

preferred task management app? If youve used any of the above apps, be sure to share

your experience with us in the comments below. Thanks!
