You can also access synced tasks on any of those services, albeit without the 2Do-specific features.
You can sync to the iPhone or Android version of 2Do using iCloud, Dropbox, Yahoo Calendar, Fruux, Toodledo, or any CalDAV server. Syncing is unique here because there are multiple options. A universal keyboard shortcut makes it quick to add new tasks, notifications let you know about upcoming deadlines, and there’s even a handy Today widget for quickly checking off tasks. There’s no calendar integration, which is unfortunate, but there are plenty of other integrations with the rest of your system. It’s going to take you a while, but it’s going to be worth it. This is a power user’s to-do list, which you can bend to just about any workflow. And there are a way more options than that if you’re willing to put the time in. You can create smart lists, allowing you to view your tasks however you like. You can create lists, then put projects or checklists inside those lists. It looks a little cluttered at first glance, but it’s also really powerful.

OmniFocus for Mac syncs with iPhone and iPad, and there’s even a web version, so you can access your tasks while using Windows devices (sadly this is occasionally necessary). Combine this with a system-wide keyboard shortcut for quick task entry and you’ve got no excuse when it comes to keeping things organized.
Once you figure everything out, however, you’ll have an elaborate, GTD-style task list that works exactly the way you want. This isn’t an application that’s quick to learn, and things can feel cluttered at times. You can also create your own views if this isn’t enough for you. There are six main views by default, ranging from the Inbox for unsorted tasks, Forecast for seeing scheduled tasks in context with any of your macOS Calendar appointments, and Review for going over completed tasks at the end of the day or week. There are three different kinds of projects you can set up, for example. This application is a power user’s dream, allowing you to organize your task in seemingly never-ending variations. If you’re particular about how your tasks are arranged, and I mean really particular, OmniFocus is right for you. It’s a powerful way to organize your tasks-and then accomplish them. Combine this blend of functionality and beauty with features like a system-wide tool for quickly adding tasks, integration with your calendar so you can see your appointments while planning your day, intuitive keyboard shortcuts, reminders with native notifications, and syncing to an iPhone and iPad app. And as a native application with no Windows or web equivalent, Things feels very much at home on the macOS desktop. Other applications offer features like this, sure, but Things manages to do so without feeling cluttered.
Use as many or as few of the organizational options given to you, however you like, to make sense of your chaotic list of tasks, choose which things you want to do today, and then do those things. It sounds confusing but it isn’t, which really speaks to how well Things is designed. There are nesting ways to organize your tasks: areas can contain tasks or projects projects can contain tasks or headers that can also contain tasks even tasks can contain sub-tasks if you want. Dig a little, though, and there are all kinds of advanced tools here. Open Things for Mac and it looks simple: you’ve got an Inbox for your tasks and the option to add more lists. To-do list apps tend to fall into two categories: the complex and the minimalist.
