Alternatives to Sorted³
The closest alternatives to Sorted³ are Twos, 3Things Pal, Ellie and Focus Friend — 4 apps from the list Sorted³ appears on, “5 apps for the day the to-do list overflows”, each answering the same moment a different way.
TwosTwos is for writing every thing down — ideas, tasks, events — in one place and letting the app work out what each one is. Addresses get directions, films get streaming info. Built for busy lives and, it says, ADHD minds.
3Things Pal3Things Pal asks one question every morning: what are the three most important things today? Not ten, not a brain dump. Three, so finishing is the normal outcome.
EllieEllie gives you a Brain Dump column to empty your head into, then lets you drag what fits onto a time-blocked day beside your calendar. Unlimited tasks free; labels, subtasks and recurring tasks are Pro.
Focus FriendFocus Friend is a timer with a Bean who gets really sad if you stop early. Finish the session and it pays out decorations for the Bean's room; Deep Focus mode locks the distracting apps while it runs.
