Tools to organize tasks

The problem, in plain words: “I want an app that lets me organize tasks by when they need to be done (today, this week, a specific date, end of the month) and break tasks into smaller subtasks.”

Task Coach fits best, with 1 more that fits too.

You want a task app that groups tasks by due timing (today, this week, specific date, end of month) and lets you break tasks into subtasks.

It’s a task manager built around organizing projects with due dates and reminders, and it explicitly supports breaking work into subtasks. It also provides multiple views (including calendar/timeline-style layouts) so you can work with tasks by time.

Best for: Organizing personal projects with due-date planning and hierarchical subtasks.

Partly fits

SelfManager.aipartial · 62

It’s date-centric around today/this week/this month, but the description doesn’t confirm subtasks/hierarchical task breakdown.

Won’t cover: It focuses on daily time horizons, but it doesn’t clearly describe breaking tasks into subtasks.

WeekToDopartial · 55

It supports subtasks and has a weekly planning + calendar view, but it’s centered on week-by-week planning rather than explicitly covering today and end-of-month ranges.

Won’t cover: It’s built for weekly planning rather than specifically organizing tasks for today and end of month.

Start This Taskpartial · 48

It helps by breaking overwhelming tasks into smaller startable steps, but it’s not clearly a date-range task organizer (today/this week/end of month) in the way you described.

Won’t cover: It helps break tasks down, but it isn’t clearly designed to organize tasks by today, this week, and end of month.
