This simple to-do list manager for the iPad is deceptively powerful.
PRODUCTIVITY
Device iPad Difficulty Beginner
Time 20 minutesThere is a multitude of task management apps on the App Store, but none are as simple and effective as Things. The idea is that you jot down tasks when and where you think of them, and then sort them out in a way that helps you meet your office targets as well as remember your wedding anniversary. You can sort tasks into categories, create Projects, and even sync the app with a desktop version so you can keep on top of your tasks. The iPad version is the perfect companion to the desktop app, but it'll also serve you well if you use it by itself. It offers all the task-creation and task-management options of the desktop app in an intuitive touchscreen interface, and the two apps will sync tasks with each other too, so you'll be sure of what you have to get done whether you're on the go or in the office.
