hello everyone and welcome back to the
key productive youtube channel in
today's video we're going to dive into
the top 15 to-do list applications
as we head into 2021. now as you can
imagine it's important to note
that we've based these on individual use
and obviously we've selected
the best and most widely available from
our recommendations over the years
our recommendation is always to pick one
and try to stick with it for as long
as possible if you want some help with
choosing an application we've got a free
course that might be helpful
you'll find the link in the description
okay so number one
is zenkit to do now this is actually
part of what's called the zenkit suite
of applications
but it's pretty much a bundle list copy
the application is lightweight it's easy
to use and has a
ios and android application zenkit to do
also allows you to do a range of
abilities by creating lists and you can
even invite other people to those lists
as well if you did want to expand out
now it does have a free plan with a few
limitations when it comes to creating
lists
and for example projects however the
price if you did want to upgrade
is a fairly reasonable 36 dollars
second on the list is tick tick now this
is a pretty competitive application it
comes with
a range of custom themes advanced
sortings and on the desktop
canvas boards too now it does have a
great free plan
and is per year and i believe you can
pay monthly as well
but if you're looking for a fantastic
all-round application
when you're not looking for anything
specific when it comes to features
this is a great bet number three
is sorted three this is an ios
only application i believe there is a
mac application
but this is perfect for those who want
to organize in a timeline
base for their day so for example if you
wake up at eight and want everything
planned out per hour
and re be able to auto schedule and
reschedule
then this is an application for you it's
got great gestures
and it's only 14.99 one off which is
definitely different to a lot of these
applications
that charge a yearly subscription number
four
is clear this is ios and mac but it is
4.99
and it creates really easy lists to
create
now it doesn't have the advanced
abilities that you'll find in
applications like tiktik
things3 or todoist but it definitely
gives you a really attractive experience
to go off of
and if your shopping lists or your lists
that you create across
the day aren't too advanced and they
don't require a due date
then this might be the suitable basic
application for you
number five we have things three now
this is developed by a company called
cultured code
it's ios and mac only it's a little bit
pricey
but actually beats the subscription if
you're not wanting to go with a
subscription for applications
if you want all of the apps on all of
your devices it's going to cost you
shy of 80 however that's a one
of cost and this is probably the most
attractive to-do list application
on the market inside of things through
you can do special things
like section off this evening so if you
have specific plans for the evening
you can create areas and projects and
the projects go a little bit further
than some of the other applications
which look great
number six we have task aid now task it
is much more suitable for teams
however it's a really reliable
application and what i think
it might be suitable for is for those
who want to express their information
or tasks in different views inside of
taskgate you can change stuff into
mind map view into kanban view and
there's a few others
for example list view and you can use
the templates there to even
add on for example if you wanted to
create your notes alongside of this
in a bullet journal fashion this could
be quite a good application for you
and if you and your team did want to
grow inside this application it
has some great chat abilities with a
five dollar per member upgrade
number seven omnifocus now this is
definitely much more suitable for
those who are gtd users it really is an
application that's
well designed but it can be complicated
if you're someone that
is totally new to to-do list
applications it's got a pretty
pretty hefty fee as well at 99 per year
it's developed by a group called omni
group and their
ceo is ken case now it is available on
ios mac and web
only recently on web but it is
definitely a reliable
application that comes with a very
specific feature set
for example you can use the forecast to
plan ahead
and naturally there's bunches of tags
and context abilities inside of this
application
okay so number eight this is actually
probably the most new
of our selection of applications here
and this is called columns
now this is available only through web
at the moment but it's perfect for those
who want to create checklists
in a much more relaxed fashion it's card
based experience is perfect for those
who create
lists on a routine basis it doesn't have
any limitations as there's no
paid plan at the moment however i'm sure
in the future
they'll be looking to add that so if you
want a really gorgeous looking
application
that has the functionality of say clear
but
is i guess a lot more web-based then
this is
much suitable for you so number nine is
a microsoft suggestion
this actually replaced vunderlist so
it's perfect for those who are
moving from vendor list although maybe
you've moved already because the
application has shut down
it is free for anyone with a microsoft
account it's reliable it comes with
really fantastic lists
and plenty of custom abilities and i
really like how they've designed this
application
works really solidly i would say this is
great for anyone
who for example is not necessarily
wanting to use ios reminders
but want something between ios reminders
and todoist
number 10 we have any do now any do is
really attractive
when it comes to for those who want to
use a calendar experience with it
it does have a little bit of a pricier
subscription
however that's dropped down to 36
dollars as a premium
which is much better however it does
have
all advice accessibility so you can even
get it on your amazon alexa
or your google home devices but this
calendar task based application
is perfect for those who rely on their
calendar but also want to add tasks
next up number 11 is todoist this is
available on all devices and if i'm
honest
it's my application of choice it's the
most reliable one i've had
been using it for shy of eight years i
believe
and it's got a great board's ability
which has recently been added
again it still sticks itself at a really
reasonable price at 36 dollars
per year number 12 we have trello now we
don't really don't recommend this for
task management
however there are folks who definitely
want to use boards as
their sort of centralized way of working
and as you can imagine
kanban is a great system for that it's
available on all devices
it works well offline on mobile nowadays
and if you want to go further there is a
business class plan
which is 9.99 per month which is gonna
cost you a lot more than a hundred
dollars per year
however if you want the butler
automations to be able to connect with
other applications
which i see a lot of people wanting then
this could be the application for you
number 13 is click up now this is
free access it actually has unlimited
tasks of projects
and some small amount of storage for
those who want to use it as a solo user
what's really good about this
application is it's very much
like cascade it's more suitable for
teams but does have a solo plan
that allows you to scale if you do want
to have
you know more team members added in the
future and it's also got a range of
views
which allows you to express your tasks
in a different way
so for example over the years if you do
change the way you want to task to be
viewed
then this can be utilized for that
number 14 as we close in near the end
we've got
google tasks and this is again basic
it's free and works inside of actual
calendar and gmail too
so for example if you wanted to be able
to view it next to your gmail account as
you're crushing your emails
this is perfect and if you want to drag
your gmail emails
into your google tasks so that you when
you go to that task it opens up the
specific email
in reference this is a great application
so if you want a google system
that isn't too complex this is a good
solution it's
not going to be as advanced to say even
ios reminders that words i'd say it's on
part of ios reminders
but at the same time it's going to do
you well if you're looking to stay in
the google ecosystem
and number 15 this is actually mac
diabetes
the youtubers go to to-do list
application it's called to
do and it's available on web ios and
android
now the this is a pay plan so you do get
30 days three however
there is a three dollar a month pricing
um and as you can imagine uh it's
something that
if you pay monthly it probably works out
about the same as todoist per year
however there is a believer plan which
is paid yearly at two dollars a month so
it does work out a little bit cheaper
than the other applications but this
application is specifically great
if you want to organize your tasks in
what is like a calendar view but also a
way
to visualize everything in one view
and be able to move stuff around a lot
of people like this
especially when they've come from kanban
experiences but are limited by the
calendar abilities
so folks those were 15 applications on
the to-do star market right now
now as you can imagine this there's so
many to do this applications
so we want to distill the best of the
breed however we'll talk about more
specific ones in the future
if you are new here please do hit
subscribe it'd be absolutely fantastic
to have you here in the community
it's been a pleasure talking with you
folks and i hope that you picked an
application from today's list
and i hope you stick with it for the
future remember research and investment
in an application
will massively help your productivity so
make sure you take time
to choose one and feel free to take the
course as well
anyway folks a big thank you and i'll
talk to you all very soon
