As you know, I’m all about lists. Over the years, I’ve tested lots of list-making apps. There are thousands on the App Store, so it can be hard to choose!

But it’s worth finding something that works for you. Digital list-making has its place, and I use apps in addition to good old paper and pen. There are some benefits of using apps to keep track of your to-do’s that can become clear once you find the right platform.

It all depends on what you’re looking for. What’s important for you when it comes to list-making app functionality? Here are some things I consider when I use apps:

• What type(s) of list will you be using this app for?
• Do you need access to the app across both your phone and computer?
• Will other people need to collaborate on this app?

Use the answers to guide your search for a list-making app that works for you. Here’s three that I recommend:

1) Clear

Clear is a beautiful app — I love looking at it. The simplicity of the design helps me stay focused. You use gestures (pulling down, pinching, and swiping with your fingers) to add and manage tasks. Each task can only be 30 characters, which means you have to write exactly what you need to do and nothing else.

It’s great for unloading your mind and keeping track of straightforward tasks. I also like how the tasks are color-coded according to urgency.

2) Todoist

Todoist is great if you’re looking for a straightforward, well-designed task manager app. There’s lots of features I like in this app, including the option to connect with your other apps and devices, like Google Calendar, Dropbox, and Amazon Alexa.

You can schedule recurring tasks or use “quick add” to pop something on your list. Todoist also has a business version so that your team can assign tasks, communicate with each other, and share files all in one place.

It’s a nice mix between a complex task management system and a simple list-making app, since it has lots of features but it’s also easy to use and you can use as many (or as few) extra features as you need.?

3) ?Zenkit To Do

Zenkit To Do is probably the most complex of the three apps. It’s still intuitive to use, but it has the most options and add-ons, making it great for people who need to manage lots of complex tasks. You can share lists with other uses, assign and add due dates, and leave comments.

There are also “quick add” and recurring task features. I especially like the offline feature, which lets you keep working when you’re not connected to the internet.?

I hope this helps you find the list-making app that fits your needs. If you have recommendations of list-making apps you like, I’d love to hear about them in the comments!
