**Short answer:** OmniFocus is the deepest single-user GTD app for Apple devices, with nested projects, perspectives, defer dates and a review mode. Toodledo is a cross-platform GTD-friendly task manager with native contexts, a status field, start dates, saved searches and task sharing, plus notes, outlines, lists and habits. Choose OmniFocus if you are all-in on Apple and work alone. Choose Toodledo if you need web and Android, want to share with colleagues, or want a free plan.
