The cloud syncing is fast and seamless, and there's also support for subtasks, attachments, notes, and more. Any changes are pushed immediately, so you work together in real-time. You can share lists or even tasks themselves with others, such as your spouse, a family member, friend, or coworker. Thought I’d recommend it for anyone else like me who is straddling the Microsoft and Mac/iOS ecosystems.Bottom line: If sharing is a big priority for you when it comes to task management, then Any.do should be on the top of your list.Īny.do features a clean and smart design that is easy for anyone to pick up the app and start using it without fuss or hassles. I’ve moved my larger recurring tasks to To-Do and bigger projects to Microsoft Planner to manage and ditched OmniFocus. It also has a smart assistant that suggests tasks to add to a section called My Day - a way to do daily review of tasks in the morning to narrow down the list so you can actually accomplish something.

The flagged email feature is nice because it includes links in iOS or the desktop to go straight from task manager to email in Outlook app. It’s much better than iOS reminders - it automatically pulls flagged emails from Outlook into my todo list, tasks assigned to me in Planner. I tried to overthink it with a Microsoft Flow script, but realized that Microsoft already has a ready made solution for it’s ecosystem - Microsoft To Do. I don’t want to have to manually enter tasks, so I started researching options. I was trying Omnifocus and Things, but sending tasks from email to one of those services raised some concerns with the corporate IT due to security policies. I work in a Windows corporate environment, with a Dell 14in work laptop, usually docked via a single USB C cable, a 2018 Mac Mini at home, and all the Microsoft Apps running great on my iPad when I’m away from my work laptop but need to get some work done.

I know - strange to have a thread in MAC Power Users that starts with ‘Microsoft’.
