Irkless or Any.do?
Any.do is a friendly place to start keeping lists. Irkless is for when the lists have turned into a system you need to trust.
Moving takes minutes. Copy your Any.do tasks, paste them into an Irkless list, and each line becomes a task. Indented lines become subtasks. How moving works
What you gain
Know which lists matter
A short weekly review puts each project in front of you, so nothing goes quiet without you noticing.
Room for everything
Areas for the parts of your life, projects inside them, subtasks inside those.
Someday and Waiting For
Somewhere for the maybes and the things in other people's hands.
Out of sight until it matters
Give a task a start date and it waits until then.
What you'd give up
- Shared lists. Irkless is for one person.
- Android and Windows apps. The web app works on both in the meantime.
Stay with Any.do if you share lists with family, need Android, or simple lists are all you need.

Moving from Any.do
- Get your Any.do tasks out as plain text, one task per line.
- In Irkless, open a project or the Inbox and paste. Each line becomes a task, and a line indented under another becomes its subtask.
- Sort them at your own pace: into projects, Today, Someday or Waiting For.
Try it with this week's tasks
Paste your Any.do list in on Monday and see by Friday whether it sticks. Thirty days free, no card, and Any.do stays where it is until you decide.
