The Verdict
GoodTask is excellent for Apple-only users who want deep native integration with Reminders and Calendar. The one-time purchase model is fair, and the MacStories App of the Year award is well-deserved. However, GoodTask is purely a task manager - it lacks habit tracking, family coordination, goal setting, and cross-platform support. If you're using GoodTask + other apps for habits, family tasks, and goals, and want to move beyond Apple exclusivity, consolidate into Mind Your Now. You get GoodTask's smart task management PLUS daily Compass briefings that integrate tasks with habits, calendar, and goals. Mind Your Now also works on Android, Web, and Windows. For Apple users wanting task management that includes habits and family coordination, Mind Your Now is the better choice.
Choose Mind Your Now if:
- Complete personal + family productivity system (not just task management)
- Cross-platform (Web, iOS, Android) - GoodTask is Apple-only
- Habit tracking with streak protection - GoodTask has no habit system
- Family/household coordination and chore management
Choose GoodTask if:
- Deep Apple ecosystem integration (uses native Reminders and Calendars)
- Minimal learning curve for Apple users
- App of the Year 2018 (MacStories)
- One-time purchase (no subscription)
