If you want to be more organized and productive than you absolutely need to be — use a calendar. Calendar apps help you keep track of your duties, remind you of meetings and other relevant things that have to do with work.
This said, there are different Calendar apps out there but not all are perfect for scheduling your tasks. In this article, we share some of the best Calendar apps that are excellent for scheduling tasks and become more productive.
Tweek
Tweek is a calendar app for planning your week and adding tasks. The idea is to take the simplicity of paper planners and make them digital. Tweek is one of those excellent no-signup web apps to use immediately, but you can also register and save your weekly schedule. The simple seven-day schedule lets you add a task to any day, give it a custom color, and move it around between boards.
Plan
Most of us use several different tools throughout the day. As a result, we spend a lot of time switching between applications. Even worse, we may make some innocent mistakes when planning our calendars — like forgetting you agreed to meet with a colleague for lunch when you already committed to a meeting with a client. Plan resolves this problem by syncing tools like your email, calendar, Salesforce, Zendesk, JIRA, and Github. Now you have a real-time dashboard to see who and when are handling specific tasks. This ultimately ensures that you and those in your life will never drop the ball on any task, meeting, or project again.
DayViewer
This free online calendar comes with a daily, weekly, or monthly planner. You can also add notes and create tasks and reminders. If you want to achieve goals you can record your days to see when you’re most productive and when you get distracted. If working with others you can assign and discuss tasks so that there is no miscommunication when working on a project.
Any.do
Combining to-do lists, reminders, and a calendar all in one app, Any.do is a no-brainer for those who want a seriously fresh start to 2021. Create grocery lists, take notes on the go and schedule appointments, all in one interface. For those prone to forgetfulness, the app will even send you reminders. Any.do is free with the option for a premium membership.
Pocket Lists
Beyond to-do lists and calendar scheduling, Pocket Lists is a place to jot down anything and everything. Dedicated lists for “books to read” and “movies to watch” help organize your free time while a “Zen” checklist reminds users of self-care essentials. You can even set recurring reminders and create shareable to-do lists to keep family, friends, and co-workers in the loop.
Teamweek
Teamweek is a free online calendar planner that’s perfect for project managers, event planners, HR managers, and anyone who is working with a team. That’s because it’s a straightforward online calendar that lets you set deadlines, see who’s working on what in real-time, check availability, and add notes. You can also use Teamweek for scheduling appointments or meeting with clients by simply sharing a view-only version of your calendar.
Google Calendar
The most widely used work schedule app out there is Google Calendar; it practically has the market cornered on scheduling apps. It has the benefit of being free and comes standard on Android devices as part of Google’s native app suite. It also works with Apple’s iOS, meaning it can work with just about any device on the market. This app’s cross-platform functionality is one of its greatest strengths. Google Calendar allows for the color-coding of multiple calendars as well as the ability to show or hide different calendars depending on which areas of your life the events apply to. You can have separate calendars for work and personal events—coding one in blue and the other yellow, for example—to see at a glance what kind of events are on that day’s docket.
