But don't worry, we’ll discuss how to use Activity Monitor in a moment. If you've never used this task manager for Mac before, it can be quite a lot to take in. What is Activity Monitor?Īctivity Monitor is basically an alternative to Windows Task Manager, a utility that shows how much memory your Mac processes are using and which apps are currently active (even if they aren't open), letting you force quit stalled ones if you can't close them the usual way. If they eventually work towards innovating it, I promise to rank them above.So how to get Task Manager on Mac? Easy! There's already an OSX Task Manager pre-installed (or rather the Mac equivalent of Task Manager) - called Activity Monitor, which you can find in Applications > Utilities.īelow is a guide for long-time Windows users in the process of onboarding to Mac and hence wondering, "Where is Task Manager?" "How to get Task Manager on Mac?" "How to open Task Manager on Mac?" Mac users who haven't used the MacBook Activity Monitor in a while will find the instructions on how to halt Mac processes useful as well. The only reason to rank it below Things 3 is its unoriginal UI. Not only that, the free version has enough features that many users won’t even have to upgrade to Pro. And as one can expect, you don’t have to pay separately for different platforms. Like Things 3, the app allows you to set priorities, send deadline reminders, and even use Siri, the today widget, Share tasks through email, etc., on Mac.īut what’s best is that this app is available on Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and even as an extension on popular browsers allowing you to add websites as tasks.Īs for the pricing, it’s much less than Things 3 since it’s available on a subscription plan. The app has a simple UI and is similar to Things 3, except for the app’s color code. Thankfully, the login process was simple. I would have felt more confident in the app if it had offered a free trial before making the signup process compulsory. When the first time I opened Todoist, I was asked to make an account to use the app. Overall it is a good app to consider, and if you want to know more, we have already done a detailed review on Things 3, where we have mentioned all of its features, pros, and cons and have answered if it’s worth the premium price. I feel like they should have an Android or Windows app, at least a web app, to make it more accessible. That’s not all! You need to purchase the dedicated app for iPhone and Apple Watch to access these tasks on them. The app’s price is on the premium side, but it doesn’t trap you into any subscription trap. Besides Mac, Things 3 is also available for iPhone or Apple Watch.īut all things are not good for the Things app. I liked that you can sync these tasks to the Things cloud, which can later be accessed through the Things 3 app. You can create multiple projects and to-do’s based on different ‘areas.’ You can make tasks based on family or work events unrelated to any projects. Other than the option to create individual to-do’s, Things 3 provides you the ability to create tasks based on projects. The first thing I noticed when I opened Things 3 was its simple and easy UI. The app is available through Microsoft 365 package, but some features are available for free users. However, it takes time to get used to the UI of any Microsoft Office app if you’re using it for the first time. Further, you can sync your notes to the cloud to access them anywhere. You can even highlight can’t-miss notes with To-Do tags to stay ahead and flag questions to raise in the meeting. You can create sections and pages and add tables, images, audio recordings, meeting details, or stickers. Needless to say, the Microsoft OneNote is packed with features since it’s more of a notes app than a task manager. A great plus for those who want to access their data anytime.Īs for the UI, it looks like something meant for professional purposes, but of course, you can use it for personal use. Whether you have Android, Windows, or any Apple device, you can seamlessly use the app. When you open OneNote, you can feel that instantly. As we all know, Microsoft is serious regarding productivity apps and services.
