![]() Google Tasks does a pretty good job at that. I have been looking for a simple to-do list app and a task manager that could help me note down things without the pressure of putting a date on them. However, those are available only in its premium version. None of these features are present in the Google Tasks app.Īny.do also supports tags, location-based reminders, recurring tasks, and themes. Other FeaturesĪny.Do comes with some more features such as missed call reminders, task sharing, and built-in calendar. You cannot assign a specific time to reminders in Google Tasks. While the Any.do app lets you create time-based and date-based reminders, Google Tasks is limited to dates currently. Reminders are an important part of any to-do app. Also Read: 6 Best Android Notes Apps With Folders Reminders You can attach a picture, video, voice clip or any other document to the task. While both the apps let you add notes to their tasks, Any.do goes a step further. It moves the completed tasks to the bottom of the same list. Once the tasks are completed, the Google Tasks app keeps them in a separate Completed list at the bottom. You can swipe the task or tap the round icon to complete a task. You have to swipe left to right to complete it. Strangely (or not), Any.do doesn’t have the familiar round icon next to each task to complete it. You have to tap the Save button to create tasks. What I like about Any.do is that pressing the Enter key creates a task, which is not possible in Google Tasks. While auto-complete and suggestions are okay in Any.do, I personally don’t like them. You are given a blank template to enter your tasks. For instance, if you tap Call, it will offer contact suggestions. Once you tap a task, it will then try to auto-complete tasks using various smart queries. For instance, you have Call, Email, Clean, Send, Pay etc. While creating a task, Any.do suggests various tasks.

However, in Any.do subtasks aren’t visible on the main screen and you also cannot add notes to them. They are also visible on the main screen. You can add notes to them and complete them with a tap. When it comes to subtasks, Google Tasks gives them equal importance as the normal tasks. While multiple lists are present in the navigation drawer in Google Tasks, they get a separate screen in Any.do. There is a huge difference in the multiple lists format too. It has shifted the navigation icon and settings menu to the bottom. Google Tasks is using the upcoming Material Design 2. The home screen also shows tasks under Today, Tomorrow, Upcoming, and Someday.įurther, the home screen of Any.do has three tabs at the bottom – Tasks, Calendar, Settings and some options at the top. Unless you manually add a date to a newly created task, it will be listed under Today in Any.do. I like how Google Tasks lists the items without throwing Today and Tomorrow in your face as is the case with Any.do. When you open the Google Tasks app, you are taken to the My Tasks screen. User Interfaceīoth the apps have a similar white-ish interface. However, Any.do lets you sign in with three options – Google, Facebook, and Email. You cannot use other accounts like Facebook or any other email to sign in in to Google Tasks. Google Tasks works with Google account only. They also have a Chrome extension and a web version. There is no Windows app but they have a Mac app. On the other hand, Any.do is also available as Android and iPhone app. There is also a Chrome extension but similar to its website, the extension looks meh. It is present on the right side in the new taskbar. You can also access it easily from the revamped Gmail website. There is no Windows or Mac app currently, but you can access it via its outdated web version. But now it is available as a separate, standalone app for Android and iOS both. Google Tasks has been a part of Gmail since ages. On the other hand, Any.do weighs 25MB on Android and 145MB on iOS. It weighs 4-5MB on Android and 34-35MB on iOS. On both iOS and Android, Google Tasks has a very small footprint. Google Tasks seems like a baby in front of Any.do when it comes to app size. Will Google Tasks be able to compete with Any.do? Should You Switch to Google Tasks? Let’s get on with the comparison. In this post, we decided to pit Google Tasks against the very popular Any.do tasks app. I compared Microsoft To-Do with Google Tasks recently, and discovered a lot of interesting details in the process. I am on a mission to thoroughly compare Google Tasks with other good to-do apps out there.
