Best Online To Do list and Task Managers
Recently I was searching for online task managers for my web freelancing work & projects as I noticed off late that too many of my to-dos were not getting done. Often I am accused of being messy & unorganised with files & task lists, so I was wanting some Web-based applications that I could access anytime, anywhere, from any sort of device.
The top priority for me in an online to do list is it should allow simple adding and editing of task & attractive at the same time.
This is the list of Top Online To Do Lists: ( No Specific Order)
Ta-da List – This is simple manager created by 37signals, the influential Web application company.
It’s strong point is that it’s a to do list and nothing more. It’s clean and simple, gets right to the point, and only provides feature that you actually need. You can create multipe lists and add, edit, re-order, and remove tasks from each list. You also have the ability to share your lists to friend or by using a public address.
Remember the Milk> – It is a more feature packed task management solution. It allows you to organize your tasks into tabs and tags, make time specific tasks with automatic reminders and repeat intervals, and even has collaborative features. It also has two innovative features: There’s an iPhone app that can pick up your location and suggest nearby chores, and there’s an option to display the RTM task box within your Gmail account.
Wallnote - I am listing this as it allows you to manage your to do list in two ways. You can either access your to do list online at the Wallnote website or you use it on your Windows Desktop.
Orchestrate - It has a unique method to help you organize your to do lists. Instead of allowing you to create a list, it lets you create multiple lists each with their own name.
ListPool - A neat solution that allows you to build your own to do list selecting only the fields you want to add and share them when complete. You can select from preset types of lists or start from scratch.
TaskFreak! – It requires you install it on your own server, as it does not have hosting solution still it’s a great system. Features excellent organization, status marking, and priority control. TaskFreak requires PHP and MySQL/SQLite and installation on your server. Online demo available at site.
Time Tracker> – It Keeps track of the time you spend on any task. Add a task and record time-splits until completing the task. You can also view an overview of total time to complete your tasks.
