Alternatives to Any.do
Cross-device to-do list with calendar and reminders.
6 hand-curated alternatives from MintedSaaS's directory. See the Any.do listing →
Any.do is a cross-device task management app that bundles to-do lists, calendar integration, and reminders into a single interface. It's built for people who want their tasks and events visible in one place without switching between separate apps. Any.do syncs across iOS, Android, web, and Mac, and appeals to users who prefer a unified view over category-specific tools. The product sits in the middle of the to-do market—less opinionated than Todoist's project hierarchies or OmniFocus's automation, but more structured than a plain note-taking app.
Most users open Any.do to capture tasks quickly during the day, then check reminders as deadlines approach. It works well for people managing both personal and professional tasks without needing deep category organization. Common workflows include syncing tasks to calendar so nothing slips through, setting multiple reminders per task, and organizing tasks into simple lists. Buyers typically reach for it when they've outgrown a basic notes app but don't want the complexity of dedicated project management software.

FAQ
What's the difference between Any.do and Todoist?
Any.do emphasizes calendar integration and reminders as core features, whereas Todoist prioritizes task hierarchy, labels, and filters for managing larger projects. Todoist has more powerful productivity features; Any.do has better meeting-to-task workflows.
Are there free alternatives to Any.do?

Which to-do app works best with calendar?
Any.do, Motion, and TickTick all integrate tasks directly into calendar views. Motion goes furthest by AI-scheduling your tasks into calendar slots automatically; Any.do lets you see tasks alongside calendar events in the same interface.
Can I use a to-do app offline?

Which to-do app has the best automation?
