Compare

Easier Now next to everything else you have tried.

Tick the apps you actually open. You get two answers: what you would keep, and what you would gain. Every row comes from what each maker publishes, so there are no ratings and no scores.

Start here

Tick what you use now.

Planning projects, keeping notes, working with other people, staying on top of tasks. That is what the apps on your phone are for, and most people run three or four of them.

Tick every app you open in a week

Tick one or more apps above and the two lists fill in.

What you keep

Easier Now does these as well, so moving costs you none of them.

  • Tasks Quick capture Type a task in plain language and it is in.
  • Tasks Deadlines A due date on the card, purple until it passes, then red.
  • Projects Work grouped into projects Every task sits under a project, and a project under a client.
  • Notes Notes on the work A rich text box on every task: images, bullets, code blocks.
  • Tasks Repeating work Routines daily to yearly. Miss one and it waits at the top of tomorrow.
  • Time Tasks and meetings in one calendar Two-way Google Calendar sync, with a verb prefix on every task.
  • Time Hours on a task Every task carries an estimate, so the day can be counted.
  • Team Hand work to someone Assign a task to a teammate on the Team plan.
  • Team Your team can see the work Shared projects, and where each one has got to.
  • Projects This one after that one Finish-to-start dependencies, and the schedule respects them.
  • Time Work placed in the gaps Flexible work fits around the things you marked strict.
  • Time Refit the day when you run late Press Optimise schedule and what is left is refitted.
  • Time Long work cut to fit A task too long for the gap in front of it is sliced into pieces.
  • Time Told what will not fit The hours are counted against the day you actually have left.
  • Tasks One task on screen One card and four buttons, not a list to sort through.
  • Tasks The order decided for you Urgency, importance and pay grade set what comes next.
  • Tasks A missed week, one card at a time Catch-up hands back each overdue task: Skip, Do today or Done.
  • Time Hours recorded without a timer Finish a task, confirm the minutes, and it is logged.
  • Time Estimates that learn Your real minutes make the next estimate a better one.
  • Notes Checkboxes become real tasks Tick-boxes in a note turn into cards, after you confirm each one.
  • Team Work and personal kept apart A teammate cannot see what you do after hours.
  • Tasks Points you can switch off Finished work grows a tree. Turn it off and nothing is lost.

Nothing yet, so there is nothing to carry over.

What Easier Now does not do.

These are on the roadmap, which means they are not in the app today. If one of them is the reason you would switch, wait for it or pick a tool that has it.

  • Client portals your clients open without an account
  • Approvals a client signs off from a link
  • Quotes and a client pipeline
  • Project profit and loss
  • A resource grid showing who is on what, and when
  • Calendars other than Google
  • Local and offline versions
