![]() ![]() ![]() Around this same time, I could see that work was going to be picking up and I needed to get a handle on things fast. The system I was looking for needed to be flexible, to handle the small task to the large project, and help push my TMS to the next level. For as much as I wanted to make my system fit OmniFocus, I didn't stop to think about what I needed to fit into my system. I even reached out to friends who had used OmniFocus for years to see what I was doing wrong. 2 It didn't integrate in the way I thought it should and I had difficulty conforming to a set system. I started wrestling with the looming feeling: while OmniFocus is great for some, it's UI design is stunning, and comes highly recommended: it just wasn't for me. My task management system was now three apps, which is far from ideal. About 2 months in, I found myself using not only OmniFocus, but also supplemented it with Due and Reminders. There were also things that I wish would have been incorporated from other apps to use in my system. And while OmniFocus is great at many things, there are several things that don't have feature parity between a Mac and an iOS device in their apps you almost need both to accomplish everything needed for task management. I was added to the beta program in TestFlight, which gave me basically a "free trial" to see if I could make this work for me. So, in the fall of 2015, I started to dive into OmniFocus as my new Task Management System (TMS). There are many in the tech community that considered OmniFocus as the killer to-do app, and I had a bit of a curiosity based on all of the people I respected that were using it. I started thinking I needed to try something new. My brain wasn't thinking how the app seemed to want me to operate. After a short while, I was overwhelmed by all of the options and features. I wanted to see how well that worked, so I moved everything there. I first stumbled upon 2Do during its Free App of the Week promotion on the App Store in June of 2015. It's not in the same format as my site yet, but when I get more accustom to the app, I'll likely update it to the same format. Thanks to the power of Ulysses, I was able to create an ePub version of this post. I’ve tried a bunch of them- Reminders, Clear, Due, Wunderlist, Trello, Things -and through that journey I’ve found 2Do works best for me. Every person has their own idea of how they'd like to organize their life, which is why there seem to be as many task managers as there are people. In the meantime, you can request access to the beta here.Task management is a very personal choice. 2Do’s email feature sounds like an integrated approach – an actual email plugin into the app that checks for messages saved in a certain way, transforming them to tasks. No todo app has ever really perfected the email capturing experience – the disconnect between email clients and apps on iOS is too big to overcome it with URL schemes or IFTTT workarounds. 2Do syncs with the service you’re comfortable with, and will now integrate seamlessly with an email address from your service provider of choice. You could even use this with IFTTT! Currently we plan on supporting all major IMAP service providers, including but not limited to: iCloud, Google, Outlook, Yahoo! and of course your very own custom IMAP server.ĢDo has always remained true to its core goals – which has been to provide you with tools that work with services you choose for yourself, not the other way round. You could create a special email address for 2Do and remotely forward or send emails to this address for 2Do to pick up behind the scenes and convert to tasks. ![]() For those unconvinced, we’re so sure you’ll love it that it’ll come with a free trial period of 14 days (which other iOS app does that?). ![]() In the meantime, 2Do’s developer has announced today an optional $2.99 add-on that will soon enable 2Do users to capture emails directly from the app.Įmail to 2Do is an optional one-time-only purchasable add-on that you’ll be able to buy ($2.99) and configure in zero time, starting v3.8. I’m planning to write about it – the app is just so feature-rich, I’m still exploring all its possibilities. 2Do is the task manager I’ve been using since August. ![]()
