Tasks in Your Pocket for Pros, Students, and Scholars Everywhere—Stay on Top of It All!
No compromise on the bigger canvas
2Do was designed to meet your need for speed. Capture a passing thought, turn it into a project when it deserves structure, and keep the details close — notes, tags, dates, alerts, and checklists, all one tap away.
2Do has been refined over years of careful work, with thoughtful feedback from students, parents, professionals, and lifelong list-keepers along the way. Every detail — from the way Quick Add behaves to the smallest gesture in the editor — has been considered, weighed, and earned its place.
We made no compromise in designing the universal iPad app. Sliding panels, a right-side calendar/editor workspace, and hardware-keyboard support make the larger canvas feel properly desktop-class.
Sliding panels, made for planning
The iPad gives 2Do room to breathe. Lists, tasks, and the right calendar/editor pane can stay visible together in landscape, while the Utility Panel for Tags and Nearby slides in only when you need it.
Narrow the window in Split View and the interface gracefully behaves more like iPhone. Widen it again and the multi-pane workspace returns — tap, type, drag, and keep your place.
Pinch, Tap & Hold — only better
Pinch in to fit more tasks on screen — pinch out for multi-line titles, notes, and tags. The new Tap-and-Hold task popup is like a context menu ported from the Mac, but better — quick actions, right where your thumb already is.
Tags and Nearby — filter by context
Tap any tag in the Tags and Nearby panel to instantly filter the task list down to that context — work, errands, @phone, whatever you need right now. Tap a second tag to combine, tap again to clear. The right slice of your day, one tap away.
Group your tags into contexts that mirror how you actually think. The same panel hosts Nearby — location-tagged tasks pinned to where they belong in the world.
Pause a tag — put tasks to sleep
Some tasks belong in your system but not in your face — the home renovation, the someday reading list, the side project you’ll come back to next quarter. Pause the tag that holds them and every carrying task disappears from view. All. Today. Search. Quietly hidden, not deleted.
Unpause when you’re ready, and the whole context returns exactly as you left it. It’s the calmest way to keep an honest task list without drowning in everything you might one day do.
The Focus Filter — your magic switch
One tap toggles between everything you have and just-what-matters-right-now. The Focus Filter is the lens 2Do quietly built around — sculpt a rule once (high-priority work due this week, tagged @phone, in your Home list), and from then on a single button switches your view to that perspective and back.
Each list remembers its own focus. Your work list and your errands list don’t need to share the same idea of “important.” And because it’s the same rule engine that powers Smart Lists and Search, anything you can describe, you can focus on.
Search Presets that become Views
Build precise searches across titles, notes, tags, and dates — then save them as presets. Your weekly review, your stalled projects, your nearby errands: all one tap away, all the time.
Batch Editing — many tasks, one move
Tap into batch-edit mode and your task list turns into a multi-select canvas. Pick a stack of tasks, then defer, schedule, tag, move, star, or clean them up — all in a single move. Repetition is for tasks, not for editing them.
The same engine works wherever a task list lives — a real list, a Smart List, the Today view, or search results. Combine it with the date filter and you can defer everything due Friday to next Monday in three taps.
Re-home tasks with a single drag
Enter batch edit, select a handful of tasks, then long-press one of the selected tasks and drag the whole stack onto another list in the sidebar. They land in the new list together — no sheets, no menus, no roundtrips through the editor.
The sidebar isn't just a navigation surface; it's a drop target — and the fastest way to reorganise an out-of-shape list.
2Do for Apple Watch
Access your most important lists from your wrist. Manage upcoming tasks, mark them done, or add new ones using voice dictation — all without reaching for the phone in your pocket.
Calendar Events, right inside 2Do
No more switching between the Calendar app and 2Do. Manage your tasks and your calendar events side-by-side — schedule around real commitments, review the selected day, and keep planning in a single place. Calendar Events is available on iPhone too, but the iPad layout gives it room to sit beside your task list.
Sync Choices, Backups & Protection
Sync your tasks the way you want — Dropbox, iCloud CalDAV, Toodledo, or another CalDAV server. Lock private lists when prying eyes get curious. And rest easy knowing automatic backups have your back. 2Do treats sync as your bridge between devices, not as a requirement to store your data with us.

The Word on the Street
Obsessed with this app
I have been using 2Do since around 2010 or 2011. I have lived my entire 30s and now into my 40s with this app as my constant companion. Through career changes, travel, business growth, and everyday life, 2Do has kept me organized, focused, and on track.
The Best to do app
Have been using 2do for years. It has so many features and things under the hood, but is super flexible and easy to use. Not only can you take tasks, make lists, create projects… I keep ongoing lists like questions for my next doctor appointment, a going grocery list, and things I need to remember.
Currently the best and most flexible iOS to do list
Currently the best and most flexible iOS to do list. I’ve tried many apps and different systems and I’ve even written one or two myself. This app is a nice balance of features and clean interface.
