You can also shake your phone to clear off the completed tasks from the screen. For example, you can create tasks using voice input, it syncs with Google tasks, and you can use gestures to manage your tasks like drag-and-drop for assigning task priorities or organizing tasks into folders or swiping to mark tasks complete. But it does a number of other things which make it stand out from the crowd. Like any to do list, Any.DO supports the basics, like adding tasks, marking them complete, setting priorities, etc. But Any.DO looks great, offering a default white theme and a more “Android-y” black theme. After having been on Android myself for over a year, I can say with confidence that this is still somewhat a rarity for the platform. When you launch Any.DO, the first thing you’ll notice is its attractive design. Those users will now be invited to try Any.DO instead, Perchik says.

Taskos now has 1.3 million users and handles 150,000+ tasks per day.

The founders were surprised how popular it became – something that may serve as a reminder about the need for quality apps on the Android platform. The interesting thing about this team’s first app, Taskos, was that it was meant to serve as market research only. More notably, Any.DO is backed by $1 million in angel funding from Eric Schmidt’s Innovation Endeavors, Blumberg Capital, Genesis Partners, Palantir (Joe Lonsdale), Felicis Ventures (Aydin Senkut) and Brian Koo and includes Erick Tseng, head of mobile products at Facebook, and Elad Gil, Director of Corporate Strategy at Twitter, as advisors.Īny.DO was founded in 2010 by Omer Perchik, Yoni Lindenfeld and Itay Kahana and now has offices in both Palo Alto, California and Tel Aviv, Israel. The app comes from the team behind Taskos, one of the most popular To Do list applications on the Android Market.

It’s not often that an iPhone user gets jealous of an Android application, but that’s definitely the case here with Any.DO, the gorgeous new social To Do list app for Android launching today.
