I have been checking out a lot of different task management apps to start the new year. I’m not even really sure I want to switch, but I just get this feeling there is a better option out there. (I mostly use Dynalist right now.)
So I’d just like to throw this question out there and see if there is anything approaching a clear favorite among this group. The field is completely open to however you want to interpret this. I just want to know what app you turn to most often to management your task list/projects.
Thanks in advance!

It would help if you first stated the platform you work on - Windows? Mac? iOS? Android? Chromebook? - and what you want to use it for.

Hyper Plan, of course. I wrote the task management app that I wanted to use. ;0)

Good question. I returned to OmniFocus mid-year 2018. Probably the 5th time I’ve gone thru the abandon-OmniFocus / readopt-OmniFocus cycle. I don’t particularly like it—Omni Group overburdens its apps with all sorts of cruft and they are not pleasant to use—but probably for the same reason I find it to be very flexible.
The one thing in a task app that I need the most—and use the most—is quick capture. I want to be able to get ideas or to-dos into the inbox fast so I can deal with them later. OF is very good at that. My favorite task app, however, is DropTask—which was multi-platform long before OF was—but lacks in an adequate capture mechanism. If DropTask had the capture features that OF has, I would once again abandon OF.

Sorry, Andy, without iOS or Android, Hyper Plan is an island. I never committed to it for that reason.
