如果您正在努力管理一长串任务，您可能需要考虑使用这些桌面应用程序之一。它们专门设计用于帮助您掌控一切，从工作项目到家务活。
这些应用程序还提供与他人协作的支持，因此它们非常适合任何需要管理时间和遵守时间表的小组项目。
在大多数情况下，这些应用程序是免费使用的，但有些可能具有额外收费的功能。当我们仔细研究每个应用程序时，我们将对此进行更多讨论。
#1 – 特雷罗
Trello已成为非常流行的生产力应用程序，它还兼作有效的团队协作工具。
使用Trello，您可以拥有专注于特定项目的看板。您将卡片添加到看板，然后可以将评论、图片和其他小部件附加到每张卡片。
这个想法是您可以将多个任务放入一个板上，并使用单独的卡片来跟踪每个任务的进度。
协作时，您可以在卡片中标记用户，在评论中写下他们的名字以通知他们，并使用标签有效地管理组设置中的任务。
布局
当您访问Trello(Trello)的主页时，您会看到一个包含所有看板的中心。从这里您可以为新项目创建板。几乎所有东西都有单独的板非常容易。
还有一个跟踪器提要，可用于监视您有权访问的板上的更改和通知。
创建新板时，您会获得一些自定义选项。您可以为其命名，为其赋予颜色或主题背景，并选择您希望它是个人版块还是组版块。如果您选择后者，系统会要求您通过电子邮件向其他Trello用户发送邀请。
您可以完全控制如何准备您的电路板。每个人的做法都不一样。您可以选择将每张卡片专用于特定任务，或者为一周中的每一天准备一张卡片。
您可以在每个板上放置多少张卡片没有限制，因此您可以有效地使用单个板来跟踪每一天。
生产力潜力
Trello肯定有很多生产力潜力。它很容易被称为管理任务的顶级桌面应用程序之一，因为它具有如此广泛的潜在用途。
默认的棋盘和卡片系统在功能方面有所限制，但您可以使用小部件来增强它，并且游戏会完全改变。在Trello上，小部件被称为“Power-Ups”。新的能量提升(New Power-Ups)一直在添加。
您可以为团队板添加小组投票或投票、自动化或复制卡片的工具，以及适用于Google Drive、Slack、Dropbox等流行平台的插件。
借助Power-Ups，Trello的生产力潜力永远不会真正消失。
价格
不幸的是，Power-Ups仅限于付费用户。作为免费用户，您可以从Trello(Trello)中获得相当程度的功能，并且每块板有一个免费的 Power-Up(Power-Up)，但为了更好地集成或自动化任务，您需要付费。
您可以为每位用户每月支付 9.99 美元来获得无限制的 Power-Ups(Power-Ups)。这也会将每个文件的上传限制从 10MB 增加到 250MB。大公司的企业选项附带额外的安全性，每位用户的成本约为 20 美元，但价格会根据用户数量而变化。
同步
当您可以跨多个设备快速访问所有板时，生产力(Productivity)应用程序会更加有用。对于Trello，所有内容都保存到云端，这意味着您将在登录的任何设备上获得相同的体验。
Trello具有三个受支持的平台 -
- Mac/Windows的独立桌面应用程序
- Trello.com 上的基于 Web 的版本
- 适用于 iOS/Android 的移动应用程序
需要考虑的事情
Trello最大的担忧之一是它需要你有互联网连接。在当今时代，这并不太难，但如果您由于某种原因失去了互联网连接并想要检查您的任务，您将无法使用Trello进行检查。
#2 – 印象笔记
Evernote是一款出色的任务管理应用程序，适合任何想要快速、便捷地记下想法、活动日期和即将完成的任务的人。
Evernote感觉更像是一个文字处理器变成了一个功能强大的笔记应用程序，但它配备了有用的工具来确保你不只是写下待办事项列表或笔记。
例如，Evernote可让您为每个单独的笔记设置提醒，您可以将照片或PDF(PDFs)附加到笔记中，以赋予它们一些风格。
布局
如果您曾经使用过文字处理器，那么Evernote(Evernote)会让您感到宾至如归。
从最左侧开始，您可以访问笔记、搜索功能和其他导航工具。
在右侧，您可以在第一个面板中选择区域中的笔记访问面板。然后，最后，你有一个完整的文字处理器，可以在第二个面板的右侧写下你的笔记。
Evernote的一个重要方面是笔记本(Notebooks)功能。有了这个，您可以将笔记组织到不同的文件夹中。这有很多用例，具体取决于您想写下多少。也许最常见的选择是为您的工作生活和社交生活创建一个单独的笔记本。
生产力潜力
使用您的标准文字处理器，添加提醒通知，然后包含强大的组织功能，简而言之，这就是 Evernote 的生产力潜力。
对于团队协作，Evernote无疑是一种选择。事实上，借助内置文字处理器的强大功能，一切皆有可能。
对于个人笔记，Evernote也很适合。如果您是那种喜欢让他们的笔记信息丰富的人，或者您有写下您脑海中所有事情的习惯，则尤其如此。
除了您期望从Google Docs或Microsoft Word获得的功能外，它的功能相对较少。也许唯一突出的功能是搜索功能。有了这个，您可以轻松搜索整个笔记集。
如果您记得写过关于某事的注释但找不到它，只需在搜索栏中输入短语或单词即可直接找到正确的注释。
价格
Evernote大部分情况下是免费的，但您必须为附加功能付费。作为免费用户，您每月上传的上限为 60MB，因此您需要坚持使用文本。您只能在两个不同的设备之间同步。
如果您以每月 7.99 美元的价格支付高级订阅，您将获得无限同步、每月 10GB 的上传限制以及离线访问笔记的能力。
商务(Business)套餐每位用户每月 14.99 美元，这为您提供了高级功能以及更多协作功能。
同步
Evernote有适用于Windows、Mac、iOS 和Android的应用程序。Evernote.com上还有一个网络版本。作为免费用户，您可以在 2 台设备之间同步您的笔记。如果您付费，您可以在无限设备之间同步，还可以保存和访问笔记以供离线使用。
需要考虑的事情
对于基本的笔记，Evernote是比Microsoft Word或Google Docs更好的选择。它提供提醒和更好的组织功能。但是，如果您不付费，Evernote会受到一定的限制，并且当您尝试一次协作处理多个任务时，与Evernote相比，布局感觉有点笨拙。(Evernote)
#3 – 奇妙清单
Wunderlist 是一个功能强大的待办事项列表应用程序，在许多平台上都受支持。它专注于创建一个包含简短、直接的任务的待办事项列表。
设置Wunderlist并立即开始跟踪笔记非常容易。对于那些只关心跟踪他们即将完成的任务的快速解决方案的人来说，它非常适合他们。
布局
如果您使用任何Microsoft应用程序，您将非常熟悉 Wunderlist 的布局。如果不是，请不要担心，它仍然非常简单。
只需(Simply)单击“添加待办事项”，然后为待办事项命名。之后，您可以单击每个待办事项以添加截止日期，并在必要时提供更多信息。
差不多就是这样。之后，您可以在一个简单的列表中查看所有待办事项。您可以随时单击复选框来完成任务并将其存档。您还可以单击星形按钮将特定的待办事项固定在列表顶部。
生产力潜力
为奇妙清单(Wunderlist)用户提供了合理级别的功能。在大多数情况下，您不会使用奇妙清单(Wunderlist)来协作处理复杂的项目，但它适用于简单的任务。
如果您想组织您的任务，您可以创建多个不同的列表。每个列表都可以包含自己的待办事项选择。
您可以选择与其他奇妙清单(Wunderlist)用户共享您的待办事项，这使其成为共享购物清单或即将到来的团体计划等内容的绝佳选择。
它在功能方面与Trello(Trello)甚至Evernote不匹配，但对于大多数基本任务，Wunderlist 的功能已经绰绰有余。
价格
Wunderlist的伟大之处在于您不太可能需要为其服务付费。第一次订阅每月收费 4.99 美元，它为您提供无限的文件和子任务。
您还可以获得每位用户每月 4.99 美元的商业版本，这引入了团队管理功能。
同步
Wunderlist上的设备之间的同步非常容易，但必须手动完成。只需(Just)点击左上角您的姓名，然后点击“同步”。
您需要这样做的原因是Wunderlist并不总是在线，这与此列表中的其他两个选项不同。这意味着您在登录后对奇妙清单(Wunderlist)帐户所做的任何更改都将保存到您的设备中，并且您将始终能够在没有互联网连接的情况下查看您的任务。
请记住，您需要连接到互联网才能与其他设备同步。
说到其他设备，Wunderlist支持Windows、Mac、iOS 和Android。
需要考虑的事情
(Wunderlist)如果您不需要广泛的功能，奇妙清单是一个很好的免费选择。尽管有可能，但在团队管理和项目协作方面，奇妙清单(Wunderlist)并不是那么出色。
概括
感谢您阅读我们关于免费管理任务的顶级桌面应用程序的概述。我们希望这份清单已被证明是有用的。
Best Apps for Managing Tasks – Trello vs Evernote vs Wunderlist
If you are struggling to manage your long list of tasks, you may want to сonsider using one of these desktop apps. They аrе specificallу designed to help you stay on top of absolutely anything, from work projects to chores around the house.
These apps also offer support for collaborating with others, so they’re perfect for any group projects where managing time and sticking to schedule is important.
For the most part, these apps are free to use, but some may have features for an additional fee. We’ll talk more about that as we take a closer look at each app.
#1 – Trello
Trello has become a very popular productivity app that also doubles up as an effective team collaboration tool.
With Trello, you can have boards that focus on a specific project. You add cards to the board and can then attach comments, pictures, and other widgets to each card.
The idea is that you can fit multiple tasks into a single board and have separate cards to track the progress of each task.
When working collaboratively, you can tag users in cards, write their name in a comment to give them a notification, and use labels to effectively manage tasks in a group setting.
Layout
When you visit the home page for Trello, you’ll see a hub that includes all of your boards. From here you can create boards for new projects. It’s very easy to have separate boards for almost everything.
There’s also a tracker feed that can be used to monitor changes and notifications from the boards you have access to.
When you create a new board, you are given some customization options. You can name it, give it a color or themed background, and choose whether you’d like it to be a personal board or a group board. If you choose the latter, you’ll be asked to send invites via email to other Trello users.
You have full control over how you prepare your boards. Everybody does it differently. You could choose to dedicate each card for specific tasks, or have a card for each day of the week.
There is no limit to how many cards you can fit on each board, so you can effectively use a single board to track every single day.
Productivity Potential
There is certainly a lot of productivity potential with Trello. It’s easily remarked as one of the top desktop apps for managing tasks because it has such a wide range of potential uses.
The default board and card system is somewhat limited in terms of functionality, but you can boost it with widgets and the game changes completely. On Trello, widgets are called ‘Power-Ups’. New Power-Ups are added all of the time.
You can add things like group voting or polls for team boards, tools for automating or duplicating cards, and plugins for popular platforms like Google Drive, Slack, Dropbox, and much more.
With Power-Ups, the productivity potential on Trello never really dies out.
Price
Unfortunately, Power-Ups are limited to paying users. You can get a decent level of functionality out of Trello and one free Power-Up per board as a free user, but for better integration or for automating tasks, you’ll need to pay.
You can pay $9.99 per user per month to get unlimited Power-Ups. This also increases your upload limit per file from 10MB to 250MB. An enterprise option for large companies that comes with added security costs about $20 per user, but pricing changes depending on the number of users.
Syncing
Productivity apps are far more useful when you can quickly access all of your boards across multiple devices. For Trello, everything is saved to the cloud, which means you’ll get the same experience across any device you sign into.
Trello has three supported platforms –
- Standalone desktop apps for Mac/Windows
- A web based version at Trello.com
- Mobile apps for iOS/Android
Things to Consider
One of the biggest concerns with Trello is that it requires you to have an internet connection. In today’s age that’s not too difficult, but if you lose internet connection for some reason and want to check your tasks, you will be unable to do so with Trello.
#2 – Evernote
Evernote is a great task management app for anybody that wants a quick, convenient way to jot down thoughts, event dates, and upcoming tasks.
Evernote feels more like a word processor turned into a powerful note taking app, but it comes with useful tools to make sure that you’re not just writing down to-do lists or notes.
For example, Evernote lets you set reminders for each individual note, and you can attach photos or PDFs to your notes to give them a bit of style.
Layout
If you’ve ever used a word processor, you’ll feel right at home with Evernote.
Starting with the far left side, you have access to your notes, a search function, and other navigation tools.
To the right, you then have an access panel for the notes in your selected area from the first panel. Then, finally, you have a full blown word processor for writing your notes to the right of the second panel.
One important aspect in Evernote is the Notebooks feature. With this, you can organise notes into different folders. There are plenty of use cases for this, depending on how much you like to write down. Perhaps the most common option would be to create a separate Notebook for both your work life and your social life.
Productivity potential
Take your standard word processor, add reminder notifications, and then include a powerful organizational feature and that’s Evernote’s productivity potential in a nutshell.
For team collaboration, Evernote is certainly an option. In fact, with the power that comes with the built-in word processor, a lot is possible.
For personal note keeping, Evernote is also suitable. This is especially true if you’re the kind of person that likes to keep their notes informative or you have a habit of writing down everything that comes across your mind.
There is relatively little functionality besides what you’d expect from Google Docs or Microsoft Word. Perhaps the only standout feature is the search function. With this, you can search your entire collection of notes easily.
If you remember writing a note about something but just can’t find it, simply typing in the phrase or word in the search bar will lead you straight to the right note.
Price
Evernote is free for the most part, but you have to pay for additional functionality. As a free user, you get a very small 60MB cap on monthly uploads, so you’ll need to stick to text. You can only sync between two different devices.
If you pay the premium subscription for $7.99/month, you’ll get unlimited syncing, a 10GB upload limit per month, and the ability to access notes offline.
The Business package is $14.99/month per user and this gives you the premium features as well as more collaborative functionality.
Syncing
Evernote has apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. There is also a web version available at Evernote.com. As a free user, you can sync your notes between 2 devices. If you pay, you can sync between unlimited devices and also save and access notes for offline use.
Things to Consider
For basic note taking, Evernote is a better option than Microsoft Word or Google Docs. It offers reminders and better organizational features. Evernote is somewhat limited if you don’t pay, though, and the layout feels a little clunky in comparison to Evernote when you’re trying to collaborate on multiple tasks at once.
#3 – Wunderlist
Wunderlist is a powerful to-do list app that is supported on a number of platforms. It puts a focus on creating a to-do list with short, straight to the point tasks.
It’s very easy to get set up with Wunderlist and start tracking notes straight away. For people that just care for a quick solution for keeping track of their upcoming tasks, it’ll suit them perfectly.
Layout
If you use any Microsoft apps, you’ll be very familiar with Wunderlist’s layout. If you’re not, don’t worry, it is still very straightforward.
Simply click ‘add a to-do’ then give the to-do a name. After that, you can click on each to-do to add a deadline and also give more information if necessary.
That’s pretty much it. After that, you can see all of your to-dos in one simple list. At any point, you can click the check box to finish the task and archive it. You can also click the star button to pin a specific to-do to the top of your list.
Productivity Potential
There is a reasonable level of functionality given to Wunderlist users. For the most part, you aren’t going to be using Wunderlist to collaborate on complex projects, but it works well for simple tasks.
If you’d like to organize your tasks, you can create multiple different lists. Each list can include its own selection of to-dos.
You can choose to share your to-dos with other Wunderlist users, which makes it a great option for sharing things like shopping lists or upcoming group plans.
It doesn’t match Trello or even Evernote in terms of functionality, but for most basic tasks Wunderlist does more than enough.
Price
The great thing about Wunderlist is that it’s unlikely you’ll need to pay for its services. The first subscription costs $4.99 per month and it gives you unlimited files and subtasks.
You can also get a business version that costs $4.99 per user per month and this introduces a team management feature.
Syncing
Syncing between devices on Wunderlist is very easy, but it must be done manually. Just click your name in the top left, then click ‘sync’.
The reason you need to do this is that Wunderlist isn’t always online unlike the other two options in this list. This means that any changes you make to your Wunderlist account once you are logged in will be saved to your device and you’ll always be able to view your tasks without an internet connection.
Just keep in mind that you’ll need to be connected to the internet to sync up with other devices.
Speaking of other devices, Wunderlist is supported on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.
Things to Consider
Wunderlist is a great free option if you don’t need extensive functionality. Although it is possible, Wunderlist isn’t so great when it comes to group management and project collaboration.
Summary
Thanks for reading our overview of the top desktop apps for managing tasks for free. We hope that this list has proven to be useful.
