9 Best To-Do List Apps for Android of 2026

TickTick packs more into its free Android app than any other task manager on this list. Beyond lists, due dates and reminders, the free tier includes a Pomodoro timer with white noise, a habit tracker, a calendar view and home screen widgets, and its Smart Date Parsing turns a typed or spoken phrase into a dated task with an alarm. It syncs across the web, Android, Wear OS, iOS, Mac and PC, and lists can be shared so tasks can be assigned to family or colleagues. The free plan caps you at 9 lists and 99 tasks per list, which is enough for many people but tight for heavy users. Premium costs US$49.99 a year and lifts the limits to 299 lists and 999 tasks per list, adds calendar grid views, task duration, email reminders, up to 5 reminders per task and shared lists of up to 29 members. The only real downside is density: with timers, habits and calendars, the app has more tabs to learn than a plain checklist.

Todoist is the fastest way on this list to get a task out of your head and into a dated, labeled project. Quick Add reads a sentence like "Submit report every Friday at 4pm #Work" and fills in the date, recurrence and project, and Ramble does the same from your voice. On Android it offers home and lock screen widgets, a Quick Add tile, a Wear OS app and reminders, and every project can switch between list, board and calendar views. Sharing is where it pulls ahead of TickTick: you can share projects with anyone, assign tasks, set deadlines and keep comments on the task. The free Beginner plan is tighter than TickTick's, with 5 personal projects, 3 filter views and one week of activity history. Pro costs US $5 a month billed yearly and raises that to 300 projects and 150 filter views, adds calendar and table layouts and task duration, and comes with a 7-day trial. There is no Pomodoro timer or habit dashboard.

Microsoft To Do is the strongest fully free task app for Android, especially for anyone whose work email runs on Outlook. Its My Day view gives you a fresh daily list each morning and suggests tasks from your other lists, while flagged emails in Outlook and tasks assigned to you in Microsoft Planner show up without extra setup. Tasks can carry steps, notes, one-time or recurring due dates and attachments up to 25 MB, and lists can be grouped by topic and shared with family, friends or colleagues. The Android app includes a widget for adding tasks and reminders, themes and dark mode, and it lets you add several Microsoft accounts. Microsoft says To Do is free across the web and iOS, Mac, Android and Windows. What it lacks is depth: there is no calendar view, no focus timer, no habits and no location reminders, and steps cannot carry their own due dates. For a clean daily list tied to Microsoft 365, those gaps rarely matter.

Tasks.org is the Android task manager for people who want control over where their data lives. It is open source, shows no ads and, per its Google Play listing, does no ad or location tracking. It can work entirely offline or sync through Tasks.org Cloud, Google Tasks, Microsoft To Do, CalDAV servers such as Nextcloud, DAVx5, EteSync or DecSync CC, so you can keep the same app while changing back ends. The feature list is deep for a free app: subtasks nested to any depth, flexible recurrence, location reminders on arrival or departure, saved filters, customizable widgets, a Wear OS app with complications and Tasker hooks for automation. Backups run automatically to internal storage, Google Drive or the Android Backup Service. Pricing is unusual: you name your price for in-app features, from $0.99 a year, while Tasks.org Cloud, which adds shared lists and email-to-task, needs a $2.99 monthly or $29.99 yearly subscription. The trade-off is setup time and the lack of an iPhone app.

Google Tasks is the simplest app here, and for many Android users that is the point. It signs in with the Google account already on the phone, keeps separate lists for different topics, supports subtasks, due dates and notifications, and lets you star important items or drag them into order. Its most useful trick is in Gmail, where you can turn an email into a task with a link back to the original message, which makes it a light follow-up tool for people who live in their inbox. Tasks also appear alongside Google Calendar and Gmail on the web. The app is free, and Google Play lists no in-app purchases. The limits show quickly if you need more structure: there are no tags, no shared lists, no location reminders and no project views, and priority is a single star. It is the right choice for a grocery list or a short daily checklist, and the wrong one for running projects.

Any.do combines a to-do list with a calendar, so your tasks and events sit side by side in daily, 3-day, weekly or agenda views. It syncs with the phone calendar, Google Calendar and Outlook, supports Wear OS, and includes a calendar widget for the home screen. Reminders come in several forms, including voice, location and WhatsApp, and you can forward an email to do@any.do to make it a task. Its strongest case is the Family plan: $8.33 a month billed annually covers 4 members with a shared family space, a shared grocery list and up to 4 shared projects. The weak spot is the free Personal plan. Any.do's pricing page lists recurring tasks, WhatsApp reminders and location reminders as Premium features, so basics that TickTick and Microsoft To Do give away cost $4.99 a month billed annually here. Its Google Play rating of 4.4 from 506K reviews is also below the 4.6 most rivals hold.

Trello approaches the to-do list as a board of cards, which suits people who like to see work move from one column to the next. On Android, everything you capture, including forwarded emails, photos and messages saved from Slack or Microsoft Teams, lands in Trello Inbox as a card that you can sort onto a board later. Cards carry due dates, checklists, descriptions, comments and files, push notifications cover due dates and card changes, and a widget adds items without opening the app. Edits made offline sync when you reconnect. The free plan works for up to 10 collaborators per Workspace. Paid features show up quickly on mobile, though: AI summaries of saved to-dos and scheduling focus time in Planner need Standard, which costs $5 per user per month billed annually, or Premium. Trello's 3.8 rating from 123K Google Play reviews is the lowest here, and for a simple personal checklist a list app is quicker.

Remember The Milk has been around longer than most apps here and still has one of the most flexible ways to slice a task list. You organize with lists, tags, priorities, due dates and repeats, then save any search as a Smart List that updates itself. Reminders can arrive by email, text, IM or mobile notification, and the service connects to Gmail, Google Calendar and Evernote. On Android, though, the free plan is thin. Remember The Milk's own listing puts subtasks, unlimited sharing, reminders on your mobile device, badges and widgets behind Pro, along with Outlook sync, IFTTT and Zapier, and MilkScript for writing your own automations. The upgrade page shows Pro at $49.99 a year and limits the free archive of completed tasks to the last 7 days. That is the same yearly price as TickTick Premium, which includes a timer and habits. The Android app was last updated in June 2026, while most rivals here shipped updates in October or November.

Habitica is a to-do app wrapped in a retro role-playing game. You create an avatar, then add three kinds of items: Habits you want to do more or less often, Dailies that repeat on a schedule, and one-off To do's. Checking something off earns gold, experience and items that can be used in the game, and streak counters show how you are doing. Parties let friends team up and battle foes by completing their own tasks, and Challenges share a task list with a group. The Android app includes reminders, widgets, dark and light themes and a Wear OS app that can create and complete tasks. Habitica is open source and can be used fully for free; the optional subscription costs $4.99 a month or $47.99 a year on the US App Store, and Group Plans cost $9 a month plus $3 per extra member. Google Play notes the app contains ads. As a planner it is limited, with no projects or calendar views, so treat it as a motivation layer for routines.
