Best Task Manager For Mac
Wunderlist, Clear Todos, and Todoist are probably your best bets out of the 25 options considered. 'Detailed control over tasks' is the primary reason people pick Wunderlist over the competition. This page is powered by a knowledgeable community that helps you make an informed decision. Alternatives to the Best Contact Manager for Mac Keeping track of hundreds of contacts on Mac, and managing contacts across dozens of services and sites is a fussy task, especially for those who get a long contact list.
Finding the right tool to track your to-dos is highly personal, and one person's best is another's junk—but there are some that are better than others. The best offer great syncing and scheduling options, great apps, notifications and reminders, or just the right mix of features and flexibility that make it easy to stay organized. Here are five of the best, based on your nominations.
Earlier in the week we asked you for your favorite to-do list apps, and why you thought they were awesome. You responded with an avalanche of apps, webapps, downloadable applications, and even pen-and-paper nominations—way more than I think we've seen in a call for contenders thread before, and way more than we have room for here.

What's The Best To-Do List Manager?
There are plenty of tools to help you keep up with your to-dos, stay organized, and be more…
Read more ReadStill, there were five that rose above the rest, and here they are, in no particular order:

Google Keep
Google Keep is a surprising contender, but a huge number of you rallied behind it. Not only is it simple, available on the web and for Android (sorry, iOS users), but it's fast, flexible, and easy to use. At its heart, Keep is a simple syncing notepad that can keep checklists, photos and images, voice notes, and other text notes synchronized across devices and stored in the cloud. It supports time and location-based reminders, in-note photos, and color-coded notes. Everything is stored on the web, it's easy to use, and if you're an Android user, it's practically there for you already—no hassle, and it's already on your device. There's no real barrier to entry—no accounts to set up, no lists to import or categories to set up, and so on.

Read more ReadAt the same time, all of that ease-of-use makes it a very lightweight app that doesn't carry the features that other tools bring to the table. There are no recurring tasks, no calendar view, no sub-tasks or advanced features that make it useful for planning bigger projects or handling regular tasks. Even so, a number of you had good (and critical) things to say about Google Keep—praising it for its ease of use and reminding us that the best to-do app is the one you actually use, but also noting that it has its quirks and the fact that it's not available for iOS was a turn-off for some of you.

Any.do

Any.do is a sharp, good-looking mobile to-do list manager (and Chrome add-on) that earned high praise even though it entered the contenders round later than many of the other entries. It's our current favorite to-do app for iPhone, and it's itching for first place when it comes to Android, too. Any.do supports iOS and Android, syncs smoothly between devices and platforms, can handle recurring tasks (although its recurring options are a little lacking), timed and location-based reminders, and gets your day started with the Any.do 'Moment,' a short review of everything you have on your table for the day. It also tries to keep your to-do list from getting overwhelming, and really shows you 'today,' 'tomorrow,' and 'later,' so you don't get overwhelmed by dates and times. It handles multiple priorities, and it integrates nicely with Cal, the calendar app from the same team.

Any.do is packed with features you may not realize are there, even though its interface is designed to be simple and easy to get familiar with. It's not perfect either though—syncing can be tricky sometimes, and if you prefer to manage your to-dos from a desktop, you have to use their Chrome add-on, which can be a bit clunky. There's no webapp or desktop app. Still, many of you rallied to it, noting that its good looks and simplicity keep you coming back, even when you've tried other apps, and there was a lot of love for Any.do Moment as a daily planning tool.

Wunderlist
Wunderlist is a cross-platform, desktop and mobile to-do list manager with apps for iOS and Android, Windows, OS X, and Linux (although their Linux app is woefully out of date.) It's also a webapp, so you seriously have no reason to be without your to-dos on any platform you choose to use. It's our current pick for the best to-do app in Windows and OS X, and its most recent iteration and feature improvements have added a lot to the app. It's simple and easy to use, supports timed reminders, recurring to-dos (although its recurring feature is definitely lacking), separate reminders from the due date of the task, notes and additional info associated with your to-dos, shared to-dos with others, multiple categories, and more. You can star important tasks (but that's as close to priority as you'll get), and customize the look of the app. It's broad platform support—and its webapp—mean you'll always have access to your to-dos.

For example, it's had a few syncing problems in the past, and I've found recurring tasks to be quirky from time to time. However, those of you who nominated it praised the service's ease of use, availability on multiple devices, stellar customer support, and its good-looking interface. Many of you said it's just a joy to use—which makes sure you actually use it every day. There are pro accounts that add features like collaboration tools, file uploads, and comments on your to-dos, but the free version will be more than enough for most people.

Read more ReadTodoist
Todoist has been around for a long, long time, but it's really evolved in recent years into a powerful, cross-platform productivity tool. It's available on the web, for iOS and Android with desktop apps for Windows and OSX, add-ons for Firefox and Chrome, plug-ins for email apps like Postbox, Gmail, Thunderbird, and Outlook, and more. It's free (ish, we'll get to that) and feature-packed. Todoist offers recurring tasks with fine, plain-language recurrence options. It also packs sub-tasks and dependencies, real-time syncing, projects and sub-projects so you can manage daily checklists or big plans that involve lots of people, understandable due dates (like 'Friday at 5pm,' for example), multiple priorities, categories and projects you can set, and more. $30/yr will get you a premium account, which is required if you want notifications or reminders via email or push notifications on your mobile device—which is kind of a bummer, so keep that in mind. You also get labels and filters to further organize your to-dos.

There was a lot of love for Todoist in the call for contenders thread, although many of you noted that even though the app is free, $30 for an essential feature like notifications is a bit of a bummer that makes you steer clear (although they're known to have sales). Still, Todoist's feature set is impressive, and seriously on-par (or beyond) many of the others in the roundup. The fact that it's available for almost any platform and looks good on all of them helps a lot, and many of you specifically praised Todoist's 'karma' points system for helping you stay motivated to get your to-dos finished. The service even very recently updated to add new visual scheduling options and email add-ins. Read more in the nominations thread here.

HabitRPG

HabitRPG was a surprise contender this week, but it earned more than enough votes to earn a spot in the top five. It's one of our favorite tools to productively gamify your life, and we've highlighted it on its own before. HabitRPG turns your to-dos and pet projects into a game, where you level up your character, defeat enemies, and collect loot and rewards for your characters just by doing the things you need to do every day. It's largely geared towards helping you build better habits. It's available on the web and for iOS and Android, and while it doesn't pack in the advanced features that many other to-do apps have, it's certainly a blast to use, and really addictive. As you cross off to-dos, you earn points, gold to spend on upgrades, experience, and your character improves. Fail and miss deadlines, and you take hits to your health and your character loses progress to the next level, or worse.

HabitRPG does support categories, but mostly in terms of 'dailies,' or things you want to do regularly and 'todos,' or items that just need to get done once or rarely (and you can set due dates and reminders). Don't expect things like recurring reminders, custom categories, or anything that makes for a more robust productivity tool—but if what you need is an engaging way to get things done and less a tool with tons of options and features you'll never use, it's worth a look.

How We Found the Best Project Management Software Programs
6 experts interviewed
The Best Project Management Software Programs
The best project management software accommodates every kind of project, from ongoing day-to-day work to big-picture initiatives. We looked for the software that can help any project thrive, with a wealth of reporting and scheduling features and an intuitive design. We spent a week testing 10 of the most popular options and found five top picks that can work with any team.

Best Free Project Management Software
Asana
With an impressive number of tools and third-party integrations, Asana is a great choice for task-oriented teams.
Pros

Why we chose it
Simple task management
For a project management software’s most essential function — keeping your team on track and in step through every phase of a project — Asana did the best job of any product we tested. We appreciated how it balanced an individual’s workload with the bigger picture of the entire team. Your personal deadlines and tasks are always in view, but it’s also just as easy for managers to track the entire team’s progress with features like automated progress charts and team-wide task calendars. The way Asana breaks down huge projects into manageable and easy-to-follow pieces makes it the most intuitive task management system of the bunch.
Comprehensive reporting tools
Asana also has a number of tools that make it simple for managers to capture a bird’s-eye view of their team’s progress. One of the ones we liked the most was the ability to automatically export a project’s data into Google Sheets. Once there, the spreadsheet is already organized into practical sections like the number of overdue, completed, or in-progress tasks for all of your projects. Your report comes pre-loaded with two tools depending on what’s in your Dashboard — ours had two graphs showing the number of overdue, assigned, and incomplete tasks by project — but we found it simple to tailor to our specific needs.
Third-party integrations
One of the biggest talking points in reviews of Asana is how seamlessly it fits with other programs. We saw that clearly in our testing: Asana has the best collection of third-party integrations of any software out there. You can set up notifications or create new tasks in messaging apps like Slack and Hipchat, attach files from storage programs like Google Drive and OneDrive, and automatically create Asana tasks in development services like Jira and GitHub. It was the only software in our tests that offered integrations with all six of those popular apps. We also loved the Chrome extension, which allows you to create a task from any page with only a couple of clicks.
Intuitive mobile app
If you want to double-check your calendar or the status of your tasks while you’re away from your computer, a functional mobile app can eliminate a lot of headaches. Asana’s is one of the most well-received in the industry, earning a 4.8 rating on over 2,000 reviews in the App Store and a 4.3 on over 20,000 reviews in Google Play. That’s just about even with Basecamp and Trello, and well above monday.com and Casual.
It’s easy to see why. Asana’s interface translates incredibly well to a mobile screen; all of your tasks, messages, and projects are accessible with one click from anywhere in the app, so you never have to spend much time probing around. You won’t want to use it for everything — exporting data would be pretty cumbersome, for example — but it’s nice to have around for more basic functions.
Points to consider
Steeper learning curve
Because of Asana’s considerable project management capabilities, it can take a little more time to learn than other software, especially if your team is used to something more limited. It’s unclear at first how you should be using your Dashboard, for example: You must add projects in order to take advantage of its functions, meaning you’re initially presented with a blank screen.
Still, even if tools like these aren’t totally intuitive when you first start using Asana, the crucial aspects for most team members — task and calendar management — are front and center. Asana also has an enormous library of resources and tutorials for using the software, so most issues can be addressed without too much trouble.
It wasn’t immediately clear to our tester how to take advantage of tools like Asana’s Dashboard.
No direct messaging
While having a conversation with your entire team in Asana is incredibly simple, we couldn’t find any easy way to directly message our team members, something that was pretty standard on other software we tested. While there is a workaround — you can create a private project for messaging and invite each individual into separate conversations within the project — it’s enough of a hassle that most people will probably just stick with Slack or email.
Basecamp
While it doesn’t have a full suite of scheduling and task management tools, Basecamp is a great option for managers who want one place to track all of their team’s ongoing discussions.
Pros
Great for group discussions
Flat monthly price
Stellar apps

Why we chose it
Great for group discussions
Basecamp’s biggest draw is that it’s a one-stop shop for all of your team’s communications, eliminating lengthy email threads. It functions like a message board — you can post a topic to your team’s page, and everyone with access can add to the conversation for as long as they want. You can also set up recurring prompts each week or month to spur conversations within your team. Questions like “What was a successful project you worked on this month?” might be cumbersome or awkward to to send in an email or Slack, but they work perfectly with Basecamp’s format. We also loved the ability to add email notifications to important topics, so team members won’t miss out on anything.
Flat monthly price
Basecamp has one of the simplest pricing structures of any project management software on the market at $99 per month, no strings attached. Granted, that’s a lot for smaller teams, but for anyone with more than a dozen users, Basecamp is an absolute steal. You can have as many users as you want, and you don’t have to commit to anything longer than a month.
Stellar apps
Because Basecamp excels as a communication tool, we appreciated that it has dedicated apps for any kind of device. Instead of getting an email for every new message (or being forced to check a browser periodically), you can set up Basecamp notifications on your phone or desktop for exactly what you need to know about — for instance, if you’re mentioned in a conversation or if a thread you’re following has a new comment.
We found both the desktop and mobile apps to be well-designed and intuitive, which was backed up by user reviews. Both apps are unanimously well-received, earning a 4.7 rating on over 15,000 reviews in the App Store and a 4.4 on over 2,500 reviews in Google Play. Along with Asana and Trello, that was the loudest endorsement we heard for any project management software out there.
Points to consider
Sub-par task management
It’s hard to imagine using Basecamp as your team’s primary task management system. Each user has a list of assignments, but they’re little more than a to-do list. We found it difficult to track all of the moving parts of a project at once, let alone several overlapping ones. When you open the calendar, you can’t see at a glance what everyone is working on and how much progress is being made on each project; it just shows you how many tasks are due each day. This works fine as a basic to-do list for your team, but we found it to be one of the more limited task management interfaces.
Lacks reporting tools
Basecamp also doesn’t include any tools to help you visualize what’s going on with your team. Unlike Asana, which automatically turns calendar and task data into useful visuals, Basecamp leaves that work to you. If you’re looking for advanced project management tools beyond team communication, you’ll be better suited to one of our other picks.
monday.com
For those new to project management software, monday.com has a library of easy-to-use templates to get you started.
Pros
Personalized design
Customizable templates
Shareable with outside clients
Personalized design
Customizable templates
Shareable with outside clients
Why we chose it
Personalized design
Out of all of the project management programs we tested, monday.com was the one that allowed us to really hit the ground running. Everything about this software is intuitive. The sidebar menu is divided into “Talks” and “Boards.” Within these, you can track ongoing “pulses”: specific tasks, entire projects, or even potential clients. We like how monday.com doesn’t force you into any one approach for tracking your tasks and projects; however you would naturally think about your work, it accommodates you.
Customizable templates
If you do need a little help getting started (or just don’t want to manually input all relevant labels for your projects), monday.com comes pre-loaded with 44 different templates, broken up into sectors like marketing, HR, and software development. This structured approach makes the setup process a little less painful, especially for people who aren’t used to working with project management software.
Once you do get used to the platform, there are still options to customize according to your team’s needs. Want to break down “task date” into a start date and a due date in the Team Tasks template? Just click the plus sign next to the task and choose “Date” for the new column type. No matter how we wanted to customize the template, it never took more than a few clicks to achieve.
Shareable with outside clients
If you want to keep people outside of your organization up to date on specific projects and timelines, monday.com was the only software in our tests that provided a “shareable boards” feature. This is especially useful for clients who want to monitor the status of their project, or for freelancers who would benefit from seeing an individual project’s calendar without necessarily needing access to the team’s entire workload.
Points to consider
Limited tools
The same thing that makes monday.com a great place for beginners might make it feel limiting for more detail-oriented users. Part of the reason it’s so easy to use is that it doesn’t have as extensive a collection of features and tools as software like Asana. Instead, it focuses on organizing your tasks and projects in the most intuitive way possible — something it does really well. It won’t automatically visualize data for you, it doesn’t have many financial management tools, and project managers raised on Gantt charts might miss that tool (although monday.com makes a pretty compelling case on its blog for abandoning them).
Expensive for small teams
If your team only consists of a few people, monday.com probably isn’t worth the price of admission. While most companies charge per user, monday.com uses eight different tiers of pricing depending on your company size. The smallest one is for five users at $39 per month for the Standard plan. For comparison, Asana costs $6.25 per user for teams with fewer than 15 users. For three-person teams, that’s about half the price of monday.com.
Casual
Best Task Manager For Mac 2016
While it lacks some of the tools that benefit larger teams, Casual’s “mindmap” interface was the most visually pleasing in our tests.
Pros
Visual project maps
Storage compatibility
Affordable pricing for small teams

Why we chose it
Visual project maps
Casual has one of the most visually pleasing and intuitive interfaces of any project management software we saw. It works like a mindmap: The main page is an infinite grid that you can populate with tasks and arrange in whatever manner makes sense for your project. Within those tasks, you can assign multiple team members and a due date, plus upload any relevant files. And if a task requires multiple smaller steps to complete, you can convert it to a group, which creates a mini-project inside the task. We’ll be honest, most project management programs feel like work. Casual was the only one we tested that was actually fun to mess around with, taking us back to afternoons in computer class doodling in MS Paint.
Storage compatibility
For a smaller and more affordable project management system, Casual has storage integrations that rival much bigger names. You can import files from every conceivable cloud-based service: Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, and Box are all built right into the system, allowing you to attach relevant documents, spreadsheets, or images to any task or project. Of our five top picks, Asana was the only other program to include integrations with these four main storage services.
Affordable pricing for small teams
Casual has one of the friendliest pricing structures for smaller teams that we saw. Companies usually charge one of two ways: per user (usually around $10 per month, with prices decreasing for more users) or a flat rate every month (anywhere from $45 to $99 per month). With both of these options, teams with only a few people end up paying more. Casual charges $7 for up to two users and $21 for up to five, ensuring you’ll never pay more than $7 per user no matter what size your team is.
Points to consider
Lacks tools for bigger teams
Casual’s intuitive layout and small team pricing does come with some drawbacks: It doesn’t have nearly the same level of functionality as an all-around tool like Asana. It’s a fairly bare-bones task management system, focusing on helping you get your projects done on time and in the simplest way possible. We missed the ability to communicate with our team members within the program, which would get especially problematic if you have a larger team trying to navigate one project. It also doesn’t come with a ton of third-party integrations. While the essential storage options are all there, Casual lacks support for communication apps like Slack and development products like Jira.
Subpar mobile app
While it wasn’t the worst that we tried (that distinction would go to Aha!), Casual’s appealing layout doesn’t translate well to its mobile app. Instead of the limitless grid we loved so much on our desktop, the mobile app gives you a basic list of tasks. It’s also worth noting that you can’t create a new account through the app; you can only log into an existing one. This was a big reason for Casual’s mediocre three-star rating on Google Play.
Trello
Best for individuals or small teams, the free version of Trello’s software is the most generous on the market.
Pros
Generous free version
Easy to learn
Highly rated desktop and mobile apps

Why we chose it
Generous free version
While a lot of free project management software limits you to a certain number of users, projects, and tasks, Trello's free version is completely unlimited in all of these areas. You can create as many boards as you need, assign tasks throughout your team, and take full advantage of Trello’s desktop and mobile app functionality. You also have access to the huge collection of templates and sample boards that are tailored to specific types of projects, a nice add-on that we didn’t see in any other free software.
Easy to learn
Trello has one of the simplest designs of any project management software that we tested. Like Asana, each project is its own board, with tasks divided into easily scannable phases; once a task is complete, you just drag it into the next phase on your board. It’s extremely intuitive and simple to customize. After a few minutes of playing around with it, we were just as comfortable setting up team projects for work as we were creating private boards for potential vacation spots.
Highly rated desktop and mobile apps
Along with Basecamp, Trello was one of the only project management programs we saw that has desktop apps for both Mac and PC in addition to mobile apps. They were also some of the most well-received, scoring a 4.7 on over 2,000 reviews in the App Store and a 4.5 on over 73,000 in Google Play. The desktop apps aren’t just glorified versions of the browser, either. You can customize your notifications for things like new comments on a task, when something is moved from one phase to another, or if someone uploads an attachment to a task you’re following. It's a nice middle ground for those of us who don’t necessarily need email notifications for everything but still want to stay up to date without constantly checking browsers.
Points to consider
No calendar view
The biggest obstacle to using Trello’s free software for most project managers is the lack of a calendar view. There’s no way to monitor your entire team’s workload automatically without this — managers have to manually track hours and tasks outside of the app. Calendar view is available through a “Power-Up,” but Trello only allows one of these in its free version.
10 MB file size limit
Another constraint Trello puts on its free version is a 10 MB size limit on files uploaded from your computer. When you upgrade to the cheapest paid plan, that size goes all the way up to 250 MB. 10 MB is roughly the size limit most email services use for their attachments, so if your team is already running into that issue, it might be worth upgrading to a paid plan or considering an alternate file sharing system.
Limited integrations
Trello only allows one third-party integration (which it calls a “Power-Up”) in its free version. This doesn’t apply to cloud storage services — Trello lets you attach files from Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, and OneDrive for free — but limits more specialized integrations with apps like Jira and Slack. These can be extremely helpful if your team is already relying on other software. If you want to get notifications in Slack when someone adds you to a task, for example, you would have to use a Power-Up. If you upgrade to the paid version of Trello, the number of Power-Ups you have access to is unlimited.
Guide to Project Management Software
How to get the most out of your project management software
Determine who will use the software
The size of your team tells you a lot about the software you need. A smaller team will want a simple system for organizing tasks and schedules, while a manager with dozens of employees will need a full roster of reporting tools and integrations.
Establish your team’s needs
“When you know what your business needs, you can draw up a shortlist of features that will help you narrow down the project management software products that will help your business take the next step,” project management expert Elizabeth Harrin advises. Poll your team and see what they’d like to get out of a new tool and where the current system is falling short.
Compare prices
Evaluate which products fit your budget. Team size also comes into play here: Companies usually charge either a flat monthly rate or a rate per user. In general, teams with more than 10 people will save by choosing a flat rate plan.
Pay annually
Aside from Basecamp, all of our top picks offer a hefty discount for committing to a full year rather than going month-to-month. A 20-person team using Asana’s Premium plan, for instance, would save $480 by paying for an entire year upfront. If you’ve tested out a few options and feel comfortable paying that initial lump-sum bill, you’ll see significant savings in the long run.
Test-drive a few options
Almost every software offers a 30-day free trial, and we recommend taking full advantage of it. Have your team schedule a project with each one and solicit their feedback on which they preferred, what kinds of problems they anticipate, and how it would impact their work. That way, when it comes time to fully rely on a new software, it won’t be completely unfamiliar.
Project Management Software FAQ
Project management software is a broad term for any program that’s dedicated to keeping projects on schedule, on budget, and on target. Most project management software includes features like time tracking, file sharing, communication, task management, and reporting tools.
Best Task Manager For Macbook Air
What's the difference between task management and project management software?
In general, task management software is designed more for individuals than teams. Products marketed for task management usually don’t have much in the way of communication tools or file sharing, instead focusing on keeping a single person on schedule. These are usually available for free, as they don’t have the breadth of tools you’ll find in most project management software.
How many project management software products should I test before buying?
We recommend trying out three options. According to research from Capterra, those who demoed three products reported being the most satisfied with their choice. Fewer than that didn’t give them enough information, and more proved to be too much. Every software has a learning curve, and it’s easy to become overwhelmed if you test too many products. Setting clear standards on what features you need and what budget you’re working with will do a lot of the heavy lifting for you.
