Top 10 To-Do List Apps for iPhone (2026)
The best to-do list app for iPhone is the one that gets a task in fast and shows you what is due today without fuss. For most people that means quick entry, repeating tasks that behave, a widget, and a calendar close enough that you can see when there is actually time to do the work. All ten apps below are free to download, and the question is how much of that stays free.
Number one on this list is Kalend: Daily Planner & Habits — A free to-do list with projects, priorities, due dates and repeats that roll forward, sitting beside a calendar, habit tracker and journal in one app. See why, plus 9 more →
This list is ranked on how quickly you can capture a task, whether the app shows tasks beside a calendar, what the free version holds back, and where your lists are stored. Every rating and rating count is from the US App Store, and any feature a listing marks as Premium or Pro is named in the drawback. Microsoft To Do, Todoist, TickTick, Google Tasks, Any.do, Structured and Kalend are all on the India App Store too.
Disclosure: the app at number one is made by The Big Head, the developer this site covers elsewhere. It is judged on the same fields as everything below it, and carries a stated drawback like every other entry. Every app here was checked against its live App Store listing in September 2026.
