Amazing Marvin
Pros
- Feature modules switch on only when you need them, which cuts default clutter
- Built-in timers, Pomodoro, time tracking, and focus modes sit beside the task list
- Habits, streaks, goals, and light gamification reward momentum without a separate habit app
- Imports from Todoist, TickTick, Things, Microsoft To Do, Google Calendar, and others ease migration
- Zapier, email-to-task, Chrome capture, and a documented API cover serious automation nerds
Cons
- No permanent free tier after the trial—you either subscribe or stop adding work
- Mobile apps are companions; power users still anchor sessions on web or desktop
- Customization depth trades away the instant simplicity of minimalist lists
- Store reviews occasionally complain about mobile sync or parity versus desktop
- Smaller community footprint than Todoist-class giants in workplace IT guides
Sunsama
Pros
- Calm chrome keeps the daily plan visually quiet
- Dragging tasks into calendar blocks enforces time budgets
- Ritual framing cuts doom-scrolling before work
- Integrations cover Slack, email, and Trello without hacks
- Dark mode and typography read easy for long evening wraps
Cons
- Price stings next to $40-a-year task trackers
- Automation stays light; the list still needs daily grooming
- Mobile capture depth lags desktop ritual flows
- List-only shoppers skip the calendar choreography
