Our verdict

Tranquil Tasker keeps things deliberately narrow: a tab for today's tasks, a separate backlog for everything else, and one button that clears the day's list, completed or not, to force fresh starts. Only a single task can be starred as the day's priority, which works well for people who find flexible to-do apps overwhelming. Anyone who wants project structure, subtasks, or the ability to remove one item without wiping the rest will find it too bare-bones.
