Tackle Your Tasks
Staying on track with any project means tackling those tasks. With multiple list and reminder features, your to-dos will be complete in no time.
When you want a super simple list to keep track of things.
Clear Todos
For anyone who doesn’t need a complex system for lists, reminders, and to-dos.
Clear is the new darling of task managers, and it’s easy to see why. Clear is one of the few apps that would not work in another operating system. It was clearly designed for iOS and is only usable with a touchscreen. Clear is entirely controlled by gestures, and it is undeniably fun to swipe, pinch, and pull to add, modify, and reorder tasks and lists. As a task manager, however, Clear lacks many features that have become standard even for free apps, such as due dates, notifications, alerts, or even syncing, and its beautiful user interface makes the faux pas of obscuring the status bar. Syncs with: nothing. Additional fees: none. Reminders/Siri: no.
Why we love it
Clear is beautiful and features intuitive gestures that make it super easy to create and manage lists.
Swipes is a different approach to your typical to-do list.
Swipes – To do & Task list. Plan & Achieve goals.

Swipes features a gorgeous interface that is simple and clean. All of your tasks are on a timeline, and creating new ones is a snap. You are able to easily snooze items that aren’t a top priority for now so you can get to them later, giving priority to the most important items. Swipes also has Evernote integration so you can attach notes to your tasks, keeping everything organized.
Why we love it
The interface design is beautiful and minimalistic. It is great for those who don’t want an app that has unnecessary features, and want something that is easy to use and gets the job done.
