Apple Reminders is genuinely good — but it's Apple-only. If your life isn't 100% Apple, here's a task manager with native Android and Windows apps, plus iPhone and the web, on one synced list.
Android · Windows · iPhone · Web · one synced list · 24 hours free, no card
Let's be fair to Apple Reminders first, because it deserves it: it's free, it's already on your iPhone, Siri can add to it hands-free, Smart Lists are genuinely useful, and since the iOS 17-era overhaul it's a properly good task app. For someone fully inside Apple's world, Reminders is often all they need, and there's no shame in that. This is not a “we beat Reminders” page.
The reason you're looking for a cross-platform Apple Reminders alternative is almost always one specific thing: Reminders is Apple-only. No Android app. No real Windows app. The web version is limited and tied to iCloud. So the moment your life isn't 100% Apple — an Android phone, a Windows work laptop, a partner who isn't on iPhone, a shared list someone on Android needs to see — Reminders quietly stops being the answer.
Todoing.ly is a task manager built cross-platform from the start:
iPhone
A native app for iPhone and iPad, with home-screen widgets, so the Apple side still feels at home.
Android
A native Android app, which Reminders doesn't have.
Windows
A native Windows app for Windows 10 or 11 (x64), which Reminders doesn't have either.
Web
A full app in any browser, on any computer — Windows, Mac, Linux.
The same list, synced across all of them. If you're switching specifically because Reminders won't follow you off Apple devices, that's the gap this closes.
No cap on tasks or projects; recurring tasks, reminders and notifications, natural-language dates (“tomorrow 4pm”), Inbox / Today / Calendar views, and cross-device sync. Shared projects, themes and icons are all in the one plan. Everyone you share with uses their own Todoing.ly, or the one seat your plan covers.
We're not going to oversell this. Apple Reminders has things Todoing.ly does not: deep Siri integration, system-level tagging and Smart Lists, location-based reminders wired into iOS, and the simple fact that it's already installed and costs nothing. If you are all-Apple and happy, the honest advice is to stay with Reminders. Todoing.ly's case is specifically the cross-platform one: you have non-Apple devices in your life and you need one list that works on all of them.
Android, Windows, iPhone and the web, synced. Try every feature free for 24 hours with no card, or start the monthly or annual plan with 7 days free. Stay on Reminders if you're all-Apple; switch if you're not.
