Review of the iPhone Task Managers

Just a quick note to promote a post over at Lifehacker, Battle of the iPhone Task Managers.

There are numerous task managers available now on the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch. Myself, I use Zenbe as a simple Task Manager. The reason I like Zenbe is that it is quick, clean, and has a nice Web Sync so that I can use it on my Mac and on my iPhone.

The Lifehacker post compares the following iPhone Task Managers:

  • Remember the Milk
  • Zenbe
  • reQall
  • To Do’s
  • Easy Task Manager

Check out the post from Lifehacker and see what you think.

    I was very surprised that they did not include two of the best task managers for the iPhone: OmniFocus and Things. Without these, the comparison surely isn’t complete.

    @Jeroen Sangers:

    I think the review is more of the lightweight list/task checking apps. Some of the comments on the LH site mention Things and OmniFocus.

    OmniFocus rocks and makes my GTD system complete!

    Thanks for the comment!

    Andrew,

    Thanks for the heads up about the post, and your own opinion! As a task-list-ophile, I’m always intrigued about what other people are using. I tried Zenbe, and couldn’t get into it for more than a grocery list manager. It struck me as too difficult to manipulate, and not very good at figuring out what you need (i.e. see all tasks due today in one list, etc.) How’d you make it work for you?

    @David Pierce:

    Hi David,

    I must admit that I only use Zenbe for nothing more than simple lists. I like the speed I can launch it and the very easy check off interface. I use it for lists when I am going away or when I need to remember a list of groceries etc..

    For the more complex planning, I use OmniFocus. One of my gripes with OmniFocus on the iPhone is that it takes more time than it should to load up. This doesn’t distract me from having all my personal and work related projects on OmniFocus and I do think that I have been a lot more productive since being able to carry my whole system with me on my iPhone.

    Anybody else got any comments to add to this?

    Thanks,
