I have a Smart List I call “Focus” which includes tasks from those important lists that are either due in the next three days or have no date set. Each actual list has its own colour, so in the Smart List I can easily see the nature of each task from the colour. You can also show calendar appointments in the GoodTask views. This is incredibly handy for an overview of what I’ve got on. It’s interesting that I also recently started using Bus圜al (for many of the same reasons) and it includes reminders in its calendar views. When you create a task, you get the usual selection of fields to fill out, but a simple swipe on the screen takes you to a grid of Quick Actions. A standard set is provided, but you can create your own and customise the existing ones as you please. What is a Quick Action? It’s a button that sets some aspect of a task.
I have a button for “Tomorrow at 9:00am” for things I expect to do when I’m at work, and another for “6:30pm” for things I expect to do when I get home from work. I’ve also got buttons for “plus one day” and “plus 2 hours,” and (a default) one to clear the date and time. But you can have them set more than just times. Priority, tags, alerts, repeating, and more can be set. I also have three buttons that allow me to instantly allocate a task to one of my three most commonly used lists. While your basic lists will intrinsically sync between devices because they are internet-based, you can also sync your GoodTask preferences using iCloud. A nice touch, as tweaking a Smart List on one device will see the changes propagate to all other devices automatically. There are numerous other features and many configurations you can make to personalise GoodTask. I’m slowly exploring further in the app to find these and see if they add value for me. This is not intended to be a comprehensive review, as I have deliberately focused on what makes GoodTask great for me and glossed over some of the important implementation details (like how features not in Reminders are implemented). It would be remiss of me, however, not to mention the price. GoodTask is also available with a Setapp subscription.
There are two ways to pay for GoodTask for iOS, both achieved by in-app purchase.
