    The Any.do Alternative With Built-In Motivation

    Any.do is clean and simple, with Premium at $5.99/month. LemTask keeps the simplicity and adds habits, streaks and XP — on a free plan.

    Is there a good Any.do alternative?

    Any.do is a tidy list app, but its calendar, recurring tasks and location reminders sit behind Premium at $5.99/month, and there is nothing in it that helps you keep going once motivation dips.

    LemTask keeps the same quick-capture simplicity, includes calendar and recurring tasks on the free plan, and adds habits, streaks and XP so the list does not quietly die by Thursday.

    • Free plan includes calendar view and recurring tasks
    • Habits and streak tracking Any.do has no equivalent for
    • Voice brain dump for hands-free capture
    • Focus timer with Pomodoro built in
    • Installs as a mobile and desktop app (PWA)

    Our Take: LemTask vs Any.do

    Any.do's daily planner is solid. Clean interface, good recurring tasks, and decent calendar integration. But here's what it doesn't have: soul. Any.do is the productivity equivalent of beige wallpaper — functional, inoffensive, and utterly forgettable. LemTask takes the daily planning Any.do does well and injects it with personality, gamification, and genuine fun. Where Any.do gives you a plain checkbox, LemTask gives you XP for checking it off. Where Any.do says 'task completed,' LemTask says 'Achievement Unlocked: Task Destroyer.' The fundamental difference is motivation. Any.do assumes you're already motivated and just need a list. LemTask assumes you're human and need dopamine hits to stay on track. If you've tried Any.do and found yourself abandoning it after two weeks, that's not your fault — it's the app's fault for being boring.
