Android users have excellent options in 2026. Here's what the community actually recommends.
Last updated: January 2026. Based on discussions from r/androidapps, r/productivity, r/getdisciplined, and r/Android.
"As an Android user, I used to feel left out seeing all the iOS-only apps. Now there are genuinely great Android planners. Funtasking even added features iOS doesn't have."
The Android planner landscape has matured significantly. While some iOS apps remain exclusive, Android users now have options that match or exceed them in certain areas. Let's explore what Reddit recommends.
The good news: these gaps have largely closed in 2026. Cross-platform apps are now Android-first in many cases.

Missing iOS-only apps? Here are the Android equivalents:
| iOS App | Android Alternative | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Things 3 | TickTick or Todoist | Similar functionality, different design |
| Structured | Funtasking or Sectograph | Visual timeline planning |
| Sorted3 | TickTick with auto-schedule | Less elegant but functional |
| Fantastical | Google Calendar + Tasks | Free and integrated |
Reddit recommends Funtasking (free with $2.99 Pro), Google Tasks (completely free), and Todoist free tier. Funtasking for life balance, Google Tasks for simplicity, Todoist for integrations.
Things 3 is iOS-only. Reddit suggests TickTick or Todoist as the closest alternatives. For visual planning like Structured, try Funtasking or Sectograph.
TickTick and Todoist are praised for widget quality. Sectograph has the most unique widget. Google Tasks widgets integrate seamlessly with Android.
Yes, Funtasking is the top recommendation. Its Purpose Wheel tracks 8 life areas. Most other Android planners focus only on task productivity.

Android users no longer need to feel left out. The best Android planners now rival or exceed iOS options in many areas - especially for life balance and cross-platform needs.
