The Ultimate Guide to Any.Do

Creating Tasks on Any.do

Any.do organizes tasks into lists. It begins with three kinds of lists already created: personal, work, and a grocery list. They’re general enough to cover most bases and they’ll be enough to get you started. But as you create tasks, organizing them into specific groups will make it easier to find the tasks you need to complete and mark them off.

A plus icon on the mobile application (and a “+ New List” link on the desktop version) lets users create new lists easily. Selecting the pencil icon next to the “Lists” heading on the desktop version also lets you rearrange those lists. You can slide lists up and down to change their order, and delete any lists you don’t want.

On the mobile application, things are a little more complex.

The app puts tasks ahead of the calendar. That’s consistent with the layout of the blocks on the desktop but not with the order of the menu on the left page. It does mean though that you begin using the application with a bunch of tiles displaying the different lists.

Adding a New List

The mobile application makes creating a new list both easy and inviting. Select the plus icon in the first empty tile and you’ll be invited to add a new list. On the desktop, you’ll need to select the “+ New List” link at the bottom of the left-hand menu.

Editing a List

Once you’ve created a list, you’ll be able to edit it. Select one of your lists, and you’ll see a top menu with five options.

The first icon returns you to that page of lists arranged in a series of tiles. The next icon is a shopping basket. Selecting it will take you to the grocery list. In the middle is the name of the list. What’s not clear here is that it is possible to change the name. Select it, and you’ll get a cursor and a keyboard letting you rename your list.

The square provides tips and notifications. Select the icon on the far right and you’ll open a new menu of options that let you manage the tasks in the list.

First, you can sort your tasks alphabetically or by time. You can also edit the name of the list, although as we’ve seen, you don’t need to open the menu to do that.

Choosing the circled x deletes any tasks that you’ve completed. That’s important. Each task comes with a circle that you can select to cross through a task you’ve completed. But you need to choose it again in order to remove it from your list. Selecting this option from the list menu lets you remove all your completed tasks with one action.

The next option is one that’s only available on Any.do’s mobile application. “Plan my day” lets you create what Any.do calls “Moments”. Any.do will list all the tasks across your lists that are due to be completed today. You can reschedule those lists, cross them off, or remove them.

At a set time each day, Any.do will display that day’s tasks in a pop-up on your mobile device. You can adjust the time and the days on which these “Moments” appear by selecting Settings from the bottom menu, then “Any.do Moment” under Tasks. The default setting is that Moments will appear at 9am but you can change the time. You can also turn it off at the weekend, and you can switch off the pop-up—and disable the Moments entirely. Free users can create just five Moments each month; Premium users can create as many as they wish.

Moments are worth experimenting with. If you find that it suits your workflow, then it’s the sort of feature that could well make Any.do worth paying for. But it’s not for everyone and some users may find the pop-ups more irritating than helpful.

Creating a New Task

The desktop version of Any.do has a “New” button at the top of the page. It doesn’t specify what the new thing it’s going to create is—but it’s a task, not a list or a calendar. Select the button and Any.do will present a small form to enter the details of the new task.

The form has four areas. The first field, marked “I want to…”, is the heading of the task. It’s what will appear in your list. Beneath that field is a larger area where you can enter notes about that task.

On the right of the form, you can choose the list in which to place the task. The default is your personal list. Finally, you can set a time for Any.Do to remind you of the task. There are six choices here: Later today, This evening, Tomorrow, Next week, Custom, and Someday.

That’s all very vague (and on the desktop, a bug means that selecting “Next week” lights up “Tomorrow”.) But it does let you get a task onto a list very quickly and the work can continue from there.

Editing a Task on Any.Do

Select the task, and Any.do will show you that task’s details.

There’s a lot more to do here than on the small form that you used to create the task.

First, you can add a tag to the task. The free version of Any.do only supplies an orange “Priority” tag. Upgrading provides access to more colors and more labels, such as “important”, “family” and “deadline”. The tags will help tasks to stand out and provide another way to organize what you need to do .

Sharing the task lets you bring in one of your contacts. Any.do will invite you to connect your contacts or let you type a friend’s name or email address.

The button next to “Share task” indicates the list the task is currently in. Selecting the button lets you place the task in an alternative list. Note that you will need to have created that list already. The options the button presents don’t include a way to create a new list from inside the task.

Remember those vaguely timed reminders? Now you can see when Any.Do was planning to send you a reminder, and you can change the time and date. Click the hour, and Any.Do will offer you a calendar and time choices.

The next option is even more helpful. Once you’ve created a task, you can also add subtasks. So if your task was to “Prepare Powerpoint”, you could add sub-tasks such as “Source images”, “Collect sales data” and “Draw graph”.

That one task becomes a project with a series of milestones. It is important, though, to note that the subtasks are basic. They don’t come with their own reminders. You can’t share them with others, and you can’t add notes to them.

You can, however, add more notes to the ones you’ve already prepared, and you can upload attachments.
