Google Tasks is, without a doubt, one of the company’s worst apps. While its barebones nature might appeal to some, its lack of basic features — like natural language processing — makes it feel well behind the times compared to its rivals. Personally, I’m not a fan.
I’ve tried countless competing apps in my quest for a better solution, and found four that stand out from the crowd. The first is my personal favorite and the one I’ve been using for years, but the others aren’t far behind. If you’re looking for a Google Tasks alternative that can actually supercharge your productivity, keep reading.

This is my go-to task management app. It’s the perfect blend of simplicity and power. I use the premium version, but I think the free plan is more than enough for most people. Todoist’s premium plan is billed annually at around $4 per month.
There’s plenty to love about Todoist, but I especially like its support for natural language input. This means I can type something like, “Go to the gym every Monday at 6 PM,” and the app will automatically create a recurring task without me having to set the date or time manually. I also love how I can organize my tasks with priority tags, labels, and sub-tasks. Another feature Google Tasks lacks is the ability to easily view what’s on my to-do list for just today, as opposed to the entire week or month, which makes for a much more focused experience.
