How To Sync Your Tasks With Evernote On Your Mac (but why?)

Here at Mac360′s world headquarters, we’ve become big fans of Evernote, the multi platform notes app.

What’s not to like? It’s free. It’s easy. It syncs your notes and other documents with the cloud and back to Macs, PCs, iPad, iPhone, and Android devices. What’s missing in Evernote? A way to create and sync tasks from a to-do list.

There’s almost an app for that. Almost?

Almost What Everyone Needs

To-do list apps are almost a dime a dozen. Sometimes even less. At a basic level, a to-do list app simply records task items for you to check off.

At a higher level, those tasks can be integrated into projects to manage. In between, any decent task manager or to-do app needs to be with you wherever you go.

Onlytasks takes you on a piggyback ride with Evernote. Evernote, if you don’t use too much of their cloud data storage, is free. Onlytasks has a price tag but it uses Evernote.

That means it can sync up tasks in Evernote and show up on other Evernote empowered devices. There’s some synchronization with iCal, too.

Onlytasks lets you sort and prioritize tasks. Each one can have a due date, notes, even tags.

In the end, though, what you get is yet another to-do list app, but one that’s a bit more cumbersome to use than most (even Apple’s Reminders has advantages).

iCal’s built-in to-do list works acceptably, and syncs quickly and freely with iCloud and Apple’s iDevices.

How long before Evernote adds a similar to-do list function to the app? What’s odd here is the value. Evernote is free. iCal is free. Onlytasks comes with a $15 price tag. Just to piggyback to-do list items on Evernote or iCal.

If you need a to-do list manager, Wunderlist or iProcrastinate are free and run on all iDevices. My personal favorite is the aptly named Todo, which also syncs between Mac and other devices using iCloud or Dropbox.
