What App Should You Use for MYN or 1MTD?

Whenever I write an article or create a video about a new MYN or 1MTD enabled app, I immediately get a slew of emails asking this:

Question: “Is this new app the one everyone should use now?”

Well, here’s my answer:

No, I never recommend a single app that everyone should use.

While I might occasionally add a new app to the MYN or 1MTD list, I almost never abandon an older app. Rather each app has its plusses and minuses, ones that may or may not make it right for you. So study each of my recommended apps; try them out and see how they fit your needs. Only then can you decide what’s right for you. But here are some thoughts.

General App RecommendationsFor 1MTD:Microsoft To Do and Gmail Tasks are, hands down, the best apps to use for 1MTD in their corresponding ecosystems. Both implement 1MTD well with drag and drop prioritizing. Both link extremely well with ecosystem products. And both have great mobile options. But neither one has advancement paths to MYN. Windows Outlook is excellent for 1MTD too and has a great advancement path to MYN. But it has no good native smartphone apps (must use 3rd party apps).Other apps (see below) have compromises for 1MTD (like no drag and drop priority setting) but all can be used with 1MTD.For MYN:TaskAngel Online is a new MYN app choice I’ve just added. Its Auto Urgency feature is pretty incredible; that feature alone may make it worth the switch for you (it did for me). This web-based app is clean and very simple to use for MYN. But it’s a young app, with many features still under development (e.g. email integration). It’s current web-based PWA smartphone solution is really good too, but mainly for those with a large smartphone screen.Windows Desktop Outlook’s Tasks module is still best if a PC is your only to-do list device. Best app on PC if you want maximum email linkage and tons of customization ability. However no native smartphone app and generally harder to use.Todoist is a very popular app and has the best multi-device support of all (PC, Mac, any smartphone, smartwatch, etc.). Sporting a simple modern interface, it also has tons of optional features—so many it can take while to learn them all. MYN customization is less implemented than others but works well.Toodledo is good for multi-device support (Mac, PC, phone). It has nearly unlimited customization potential—the most features of any tasks app—and the most MYN presets of all apps. It is a bit harder to learn and it is dated in appearance. iPhone app is currently under fresh development.
