And that is why Google Tasks takes the cake. I know, I know but I’m a chaotic, continuously revolving mess so I need to be able to set tasks and order my life as it twists and turns. Also, as opposed to Googles Tasks’ flat and simplistic material design, Any.do’s more animated UI feels better to use but is a bit slower to navigate. It’s not like Any.do is that much difficult to use, it just has a lot more going on (e.g animations, sync with native apps on your phone, busier interface) and that makes using it a bit more time gobbling than Google Tasks. Right off the bat, Google Tasks is easier to get into, use and has a cleaner, more stripped-down interface that makes scheduling, or ticking off tasks, a breeze. In the other corner, named after the company that created it and looking to stake a claim for all “underdogs” of the mobile task app underground, is Any.do – a freemium task app with so many features (a lot of which nobody has the time to read here), it could win every category at the Feature Awards, if there was one (Copyright, please).Īfter a few weeks of deceptive attacks and super slick defense on my two-year-old iPhone 6 Plus, here’s how Google Tasks and Any.do fared in direct competition for Akindare’s choice task app: Google Keep can already do everything Google Tasks can (and even more/better), but who knows why these people do anything?

Google Tasks is a free app Google launched recently, along with updates to Gmail and Assistant. In one corner, representing the incredibly popular – and very wealthy – house of Google is a new entrant into the space: Google Tasks. In the end, victors shall emerge from the ashes of one man’s opinion (mine) to stake claim to the most ultimate of all ultimate prizes: becoming the app/gadget I recommend to people.Ĭoming to you live, via this incredibly beautiful work of art you are reading, is the first of these many battles you’ve been promised in the paragraph above.įrom the domain of mobile task apps, where we all gather to make difficult choices as we try for the 678th time to structure the chaos of work or everyday life, two juggernauts battle it out for supremacy on my phone. Objectivity shall be applied with vigor and truth shall rule over all else. If you don’t have either, you can use your email address.This begins the first battle in a long war between tech’s most interesting app/gadget standouts, carefully curated from consumer technology available in Africa. You must have a Google account to access the service.Īny.do is flexible as you can use your Google or Facebook account.
Google Tasks has this drawback, as you can’t use other sign-up methods. Google Tasks only sends notifications on mobile as there isn’t an official desktop app. Google Tasks also allows one reminder at a time, but as mentioned, you can set repetition for birthdays and habits. The app can send desktop and mobile notifications. It does not support location reminders for free.
Check out its comparison with Todoist and TickTick. I have compared Google Tasks with other productivity apps. Users in Google Workspace can also use Google Chat and Tasks to collaborate on projects. Google Tasks alone does not offer this feature, but there are some ways to share Google Tasks. Features like tasks, reminders, and files are shared with the other person. It allows you to share a whole list with anyone with an Any.do account.Īll you need to do is input their email, and the receipt will have access to the list. Here is another feature where Any.do drowns its competitor.
