I currently own full licenses to two of the biggest players in the game: OmniFocus and Things, and have used both extensively over the years both are absolutely fantastic apps, and I highly recommend either one of them for anybody with more complex task management needs, but these apps also carry a danger in encouraging people with personalities like mine to over-plan and under-execute. I spent many years as a project manager in a former life, and I've been trying almost everything on the App Store since it debuted in 2008. To be clear, I'm something of a productivity junkie when it comes to these kinds of apps. Apple's Reminders app is deceptively simple on the surface, and we'll grant that it's not going to be enough for anybody who has serious project management needs, but like Apple's Notes app that we looked at last week, there's a lot of cool and useful stuff hidden in here that might just make you see Apple's little to-do list app in an entirely new light.

There's a huge wealth of task management apps on the App Store, so it's easy to overlook the Reminders app that Apple has built into every iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
