GoodTask review
A deeper task manager for Apple Reminders users who want more views and automation.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
GoodTask is a task and project manager for people who already organize work with Apple Reminders and Calendars. It extends those systems with custom recurring tasks, subtasks, notifications, auto-snooze, Smart Lists, filters, calendar views, Quick Actions, widgets, and Apple Watch support. The app is available across iPhone, iPad, Apple Vision, Apple Watch, and Mac, with separate App Store listings for iOS-family devices and macOS. That makes it a strong fit for Apple users who want more control without leaving Apple’s task and calendar systems.
Its standout strength is the range of ways to structure and review work. Smart Lists can filter by lists, calendars, tags, priorities, and task status, while list, day, week, month, board, and calendar views support different planning styles. Quick Actions, presets, and text snippets can speed up repeat workflows. AI suggestions and Smart Capture from text or photos add another route for turning input into tasks. For users whose main limitation is the basic presentation of Apple Reminders, this breadth is the central reason to consider GoodTask.
The platform fit is also its main boundary. Synchronization is built around Apple Reminders and Calendars, with support for iCloud, Exchange, and Outlook, so it suits Apple-centered workflows better than mixed-platform setups. The Free plan is a free download with optional in-app purchases; Unlock Everything unlocks the full app, GoodTask Supporter is an optional auto-renewing annual subscription, and GoodTask for Mac is a Mac-only app. Choose GoodTask if advanced views and task controls matter within Apple’s ecosystem. Choose another tool if you need one purchase covering both app versions or a workflow designed beyond Apple platforms.
