Choosing a productivity app is largely a matter of personal preference – you have to feel comfortable with how data are entered, with the views on offer, with the workflow and the colour scheme. There are no winners: most of the listed apps have the capacity to boost your productivity enormously.

I thought I would create a diagram, using XMind, a free mind-mapping program, to ‘shortlist’ selected task management programs from a couple of user perspectives. Continue reading →įools rush in, they say, where angels fear to tread. Granted, my illustration is a bit of a spoiler, but please read on if you want to find out which other apps made it into my top ten. My ranking is exactly that: a personal top ten, reflecting my preferences (I like a nice UI), my approach to productivity (David Allen’s GTD®), my hardware (I am a Mac user), my needs (as a sole operator I have no need for team collaboration features or enterprise–based software) and my experience (I have tested ~30 task management apps over the past two years).
Only ten apps will fit into a top–10 after all (I was reasonably good at maths at school).
Despite meeting those criteria, Things, a sana, FacileThings and several other pretty solid apps did not make the grade. They are all compatible with David Allen’s Getting Things Done® (GTD®) methodology, capable of supporting basic to complex project management and with at least one mobile app (iPhone or iPad, ideally both). This time around I am opting for an unashamedly impressionistic approach: these are the task management apps I like best. The first time, in a quest for ‘objectivity’, I got bogged down in a treacly mix of scoring apps against criteria that were of my own choosing anyway. This is my second attempt at writing this post.
