The corresponding application you want to sync it to (Mac, PC or Web) would narrow down the best application for you to install on the iPhone for Tasks. The end result is that you would have a Tasks application on the iPhone&#8211;&gt;syncing through a service&#8211;&gt;that then shares that information with a corresponding application on the web or desktop.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Also, be sure you understand what makes a good GTD list manager. For example, if you read <em>Getting Things Done<\/em>, or even any of our <a href=\"https:\/\/secure.davidco.com\/store\/catalog\/GTD-Setup-Guides-p-1-c-263.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Setup Guides<\/a>, there are some key things a good list manager would need to have to work well. It&#8217;s not just about storing a flat list of To Do&#8217;s. If you understand the best practices, then you&#8217;ll find the sea of Apps in the iTunes store much easier to wade through.
