Today is the second day of The 12 Days of Giveaways at Lifehack.org where we are giving our readers some of the best productivity swag around. Mostly because we like you, but also because we love the products that we are giving away. And today is no different with one of the most ubiquitous and best to-do list apps around: Toodledo for iOS.
But first, yesterday’s Knock Knock “Hack Your Way to a Fresh 2012” winner is…
Lifehack commenter amyrosebrown with this excellent comment,
“A guy once hit on me at a bar using the High Five Nifty Notes, so I personally like those.”
Nice. And maybe now she can return the favor in 2012. Congrats amyrosebrown!
Toodledo for iPhone
Anywho, Toodledo has been around for a while now and has proven to be one of the best web apps for keeping track of your tasks and projects with its insane amount of features and ways to use it. If you haven’t seen Toodledo or used it yet and you are reading Lifehack, then you may be reading from under a rock, as we have featured it on many top GTD and productivity app lists.
Another thing to mention, especially for those out there that haven’t tried Toodledo since the middle of this year (2011), is that Toodledo has had a complete design overhaul. Now, not only is Toodledo a functional and awesome to use application, it is even better to look at on the web.
For today’s giveaway, Toodledo has given us 10 promo codes to provide 10 lucky Lifehack.org readers with Toodledo for iOS. The app is Universal and will work on both iPad and iPhone/iPod touch.
I’ve personally used Toodledo on-and-off for almost 3 years now and I still think that it is one of the best apps for getting things done. Here are just some of Toodledo’s features:
- Use tags, folders, contexts, status, priority, due date, start date, etc. to organize and prioritize your tasks.
- You can use Toodledo pretty much anywhere be it web, iPhone, iPad, mobile web, and even some 3rd party apps for Mac and Windows support Toodledo sync. You can check out their 3rd-party list here.
- Toodledo also offers collaboration with shared projects
- Import and export functions. This is important for those “data liberation type of zealot types” (like me).
- Ability to have subtasks (pro-account only)
- Excellent iOS app that gives you all the filtering and list “shucking-and-jiving” you could ever want. And hey, you have a chance to win this one!
But really, the best way to check out what Toodledo has to offer is to check them out for yourself.

THIS is exactly what I a looking for. I work in Social Media, I work from home with two boys aged 3 and 5. If I don’t write things down, I am lost. Help me…This might be what i need to stay on track in 2012. It’s not about being more productive it’s about Survival. Have you tried working from home with 2 boys aged 3 and 5? Thank you for the consideration.
I haven’t tried working from home with 2 young kids, but, maybe the promo code that I’m about to send you will relieve some stress :D
I will use it to track the new business that I’m starting in the new year.
Well, that’s a great way to use Toodledo for iOS in 2012. We will contact you via Facebook with your promo code!
I’d love to have this to manage project tasks with a remote project team member.
Lord knows, I could use the help!
I work for a small company managing many different projects. This would help me on the go!
My 6 year old told me today that I needed a list to keep track of everything I have to do for her…this will work perfectly. lol
Hey, Michael. Well, then we can help you help your daughter with your key to Toodledo for iOS! Mike Vardy will be contacting you later today with your promo code. Congrats!
I would love this application to help balance school, work and my fun life. I love my iPhone and want an iPad soon so this would be great!
Please help out a full time working student and employee!
I would use Toodledo to keep track of my research, meetings, and work tasks. I would also organize my home life so I could spend more quality time with my family.
Thanks,
Brian
I’ll be starting a new job as 1099 contractor, so have an app that that help me keep up with to do list will be every important. As a therapist there wil be tons of paperwork anyway, so this app would be really helpful. Plus getting this app for free would be a great bonus as I start the new job.
Well, I’ve got this Toodledo for iOS promo code burning a hole in my pocket. Contact via Twitter to get it.
If your needs are very basic, you could just use
the notes feature or add the tasks into your ical and add them that way.
I opened a Toodledo account a few weeks ago to try to better manage my projects and tasks at work. Currently I have a link to the Toodledo website on my iPad home screen, which opens the page in Safari. If I had the native app, I would be able to access my tasks and projects when I’m away from wifi!
I have been looking for an app that would help me to help my 9 and 11 year old sons with their own organization around the house and with school and pet duties. It seems like Toodledo would save me the trouble of writing paper lists every day and would spare me the the agony of forgetting important items that should be on their lists regularly. Of course, I believe this would help my own productivity IMMENSELY, as my kids seem to work best without a person hounding them, and I would have more time – aaaahhhh.
“How will I use Toodledo for iOS in the coming year to be more productive?”
I am going to be starting college in the fall, and I will be owning an iPhone then, and I always put everything I need to know, like test’s, classes, quizes, and other thing’s into the app to keep me organized and to keep me on track. This would be perfect for school. I will also use this app for work to keep my schedule and other information I need on it. I also will be using it for my photography career. I would put in the info of the concert and stuff in it and when and where the concert for which band it would be. Also, it would be perfect to keep track of interviews that I would do with the bands. Using this for photography will help me greatly. And the last thing that is really important would be keeping organized at home. It would make my life so much easier to keep everything on track because I was talking to my mom just a little earlier about needing something on the ipod/iphone and I couldn’t find something that fitted my needs and this app is perfect.
Thank you,
Liz.
Yep, college sure is stressful if you don’t keep track of stuff. Your Toodledo for iOS promo code should help with that though. We will contact you via Facebook.
“How will you use Toodledo for iOS in the coming year to be more productive?”
As a current Pocket Informant user…who isn’t “Getting Things Done” I’d like to give another application a chance in the coming year.
A free one would certainly be a great early Christmas gift!
AND…my wife and I might also find a use for it to help prepare a task list for our daughter who lives with Asperger’s Syndrome. She needs a little more structure than the average bear so this might be something to keep her on track with those activities we do and take for granted.
Toodle-oo.

I will use Toodledo for iOS to help become more productive in balancing family, friends, school (University of Connecticut), leadership development (Leadership Legacy – University of Connecticut), youth development (National FFA Organization), and volunteer work (American Cancer Societies Relay For Life. By having an organized to do list with me at all times it will allow me to become more productive thus benefiting every aspect of my life as well as those I work with.
I will use Toodledo to organize my non-work time (the so called “unschedule” principle of Niels Fiore) to help me spend more time with my newborn son.
