What should one look out for in a good to-do list app? Apart from a clean and easy user interface, a good to-do list app should have options to organize tasks in multiple ways: categories, tags and dates. Perhaps the most important feature is the option to sync your tasks and information across platforms.
Todoist, for instance, is one the first and most popular to-do list apps. But in recent times, this category of apps has become an ever bigger hit with productivity lovers. Here’s a look at some recent to-do list options that you can use to organize your important tasks and set timely reminders for your deadlines.
