#Goodtask vs things 3 mac
In fact, I often encountered significant lag between marking a task as complete on my phone and that state being recognized by the Mac app. To my mind, the fact that GoodTask is simply a “layer” on top of Reminders should have resulted in sync that was just as fast and reliable as Clear’s, if not more so.įor whatever reason, this was not my experience. In other words, you can use it interchangeably with Reminders on iOS and/or OS X. GoodTask isn’t another app you have to migrate your data to, it’s simply a more functional and aesthetically pleasing way of interacting with your existing Reminders data. GoodTask takes a different approach-one that I expected to produce superior results-by building its entire architecture on top of the standard Reminders app and its data. Clear provides its own sync via iCloud, and consequently it works and feels very seamless. The reality was unexpectedly complicated. Both have iOS and Mac apps available, and both boast about seamless cross-platform sync, so the playing field would appear to be level. In any event, my first priority was evaluating the core functionality of the apps. At the time, I found it simply too lean…too many missing features to justify a transition, despite its killer aesthetic and delightful interaction animations. To be fair, Clear was actually released way back in 2012, where it held the #1 paid app spot worldwide, but I hadn’t given it a fair chance way back then. In the hopes of finding a replacement for Reminders, I recently took some time away from my usual system to try out a few new task management contenders: GoodTask, and Clear. Nevertheless, I like to keep my finger on the pulse of productivity software, and I do still use Reminders for the basic task management scenarios where it is superior to a Bullet Journal. That entire system of task management isn’t aligned with how I think of productivity. I struggled to figure out which of them was best suited to my needs, and which offered the best balance between capability and simplicity.Īs it turns out, it wasn’t them-it was me. When I first started blogging, one of the subjects I tackled was the rivalry between to-do apps Things and Wunderlist.
