Any.DO

Any.DO is a simple and intuitive extension designed for Google Chrome as a day-to-day planner. It lets users create and manage tasks easily, set up reminders, and synchronize information across multiple devices.

Once installed, the app creates a small icon in the upper right corner of Chrome, right next to the address bar, which shows the number of total tasks scheduled for the current day.

As far as the interface is concerned, Any.DO adopts an elegant look with simple lines, making it seem like a professional day planner for business users. In fact, the add-on comprises standard tools for all user groups.

Tasks can be added to the list by pointing out a description. They can be grouped together into user-defined and preset (personal, work) categories, as well as displayed by category or day (today, tomorrow, upcoming, someday).

The extension integrates one-click action for making a selected task a top priority. It lets users leave themselves notes and set up a reminder to go off at any time and on any date. After marking tasks as completed (strikethrough effect), they can be removed from the list.

As far as app settings are concerned, users may select a day as the week start, disable the Gmail button and followup, as well as pop out Any.DO's window to be able to minimize it to the taskbar and work with it just like with any Windows program. Information can be synchronized across Android and iOS devices (free app).

The small add-on ran smoothly during our evaluation, without triggering Chrome to hang, crash or pop up error messages. It does not bundle complex features but its simplicity is splendid for busy people who are always on the go and need a more reliable assistant than their memory to resort to.
