We've seen many todo apps for iPhone but Carrot is the first one that has a personality of its own. The idea behind Carrot is that it should motivate you to do things.

By Rene Ritchie, Thursday, Aug 9, 2012 a 8:22 am

Things, one of the best and more popular pro-level task management apps for the iPhone, iPad, and Mac has -- finally -- been updated to version 2.0. The story on Cultured Code, Things' developer, is that they've always made fantastic products, but have been incredibly slow to update them, especially when it comes to high-priority features like sync.

HQ: To Do lets you quickly create simple, stylish task lists for iPhone

By Leanna Lofte, Tuesday, Feb 7, 2012 a 2:28 pm

What it lacks in depth or features, HQ: To Do makes up for in speed, style, and simplicity. For those interested in getting things done, it's a good place to start.

HQ: To Do for iPhone is for those who need more than Apple's built-in Reminders app, but not anything as complex or costly as some of the full on GTD (Getting Things Done) or power-user productivity apps available in the App Store. Part of the new generation of big, bold, user experiences, HQ: To Do does a good job of making sure most of what you need is always right under-thumb, and available, with a couple taps or swipes. And it looks great doing it.

TiPb checks out the best, most must-have Fitness apps to load up on your iPhone.

Task management apps for iPhone are released into the App Store on almost a daily basis. My iPhone is not only a device I enjoy using in my personal time, it's instrumental in the way I conduct business and keep myself organized.

Between running my own business, contracting for a few companies, and writing for TiPb, it sometimes becomes a task to remember where I need to be or what I need to be doing. I have yet to find an app that combines all the tools I need but the mix of apps I use do a pretty good job of keeping me sane. Follow along for my top picks and to let us know what yours are as well!
