Ondrej Holzman If you are not a fan of some complex GTD tools (such as Things or OmniFocus) and want a classic and simple ToDo list for your Mac, we have prepared a short review of the application for you Todolicious. It couldn't possibly be any easier.
It is really a simple task book in which you can quickly and easily write down all the tasks you need to complete or carry out. A simple and nicely designed interface offers you an overview of all tasks, which you can classically tick off after completion. If you don't like the basic dark look, there are two more to choose from. Todolicious also works with sounds, so you can be notified of a new task or its completion with a tone.
The presence of keyboard shortcuts is also important. You can set a shortcut for creating a new note (task) and for hiding the application. Then all you have to do is press the set shortcut at any time and Todolicious will pop up immediately with all the tasks. In the dock, you can have an icon with a number showing how many tasks you still have to complete for better orientation. If you happen to have too many of your tasks and get lost in them, the integrated search will serve you well.
Todolicious is great for those who are tired of advanced programs for organizing and projecting tasks and are looking for a simple to-do list that immediately catches their eye. And that Todolicious is the right choice for many users is evidenced by the success in the Mac App Store, which was taken by the application from Steve Streza's workshop by storm.
The truth is, Todolicious costs almost $10, but if buying it solves your to-do recording problems, it will definitely pay off in no time. Now you just need to clarify your priorities and what you expect from such a program.

I can recommend Wunderlist from the simpler but slightly more equipped ones. It's free as is the iPhone app it syncs with.
Adherents of classic GTD may appreciate doit.im, which is even more advanced in terms of functions, is also free and, like Wunderlist, has its own application. However, it does not have a desktop client – it runs in a browser.
Or Wunderlist too. Not that I use it, but it's free for both Mac and iOS, supports cloud sync. I don't know if it has made it to the Mac App Store yet.
crtec, thanks for the tip, I really like Wunderlist at first glance. It's free, has great synchronization options (even individual sheets, which could be nice in a company) and at first glance I find it more attractive than things, which despite my best efforts I still haven't learned to use effectively :)
I use Todolicious, but I miss the iPhone app with cloud sync. Do you have a tip? Wunderlist is already unnecessarily complicated for me.
I see that crtec with WL has overtaken me (I wrote intermittently in iP).
adjsoidas: I use iOS Todo from Appiga, which is a bit more functionally equipped, it has a clearer iOS GUI for me. Appigo (wifi) sync server for Mac (and Win) can be downloaded for free, which synchronizes tasks with iCal. Cloud sync is paid here…
There are not many task managers like WL - all services and applications are free incl. cloud sync…
they promise interesting updates:
So what's the schedule for new Wunderlist versions?
– One week: iPad and new iPhone version (changes in the GUI)
– Two weeks: web interface and new desktop version
– Three to four weeks: Android (at least they do it last)
So wait and don't spend, maybe it will "make it easy".)
Interesting piece, simple things are the most useful. Write fast, read fast. What do you want from the exercise book?
