The team behind the most popular To Do list app on Android transforms the way people get things done, together.
PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Any.DO, the team behind the leading To Do list app for Android, Taskos, today announced the launch of Any.DO for Android, the first To Do app that lets you create, organize and share tasks with your friends. Any.DO allows you to share even if the other person doesn't have the app. It is available free from Android Market.
In addition to sharing tasks with your friends and colleagues, Any.DO lets users:
-- Talk to the device to capture ideas on the go
-- Invite friends, family or colleagues to do stuff together (collaborating
on a grocery list with your spouse, planning a vacation with your family
or collaborating on an office project with your colleagues)
-- Get notifications when someone updates the shared task
-- Drag & drop to sort tasks by date, folder or priorities
-- Swipe tasks to mark as complete
-- Shake the phone to remove the completed tasks
-- Sync your tasks with your Google tasks / Google apps
-- Simple backup of your tasks on your SD card
"The social revolution changed the way we communicate, the mobile era changed the way we manage our lives," said Omer Perchik, Any.DO CEO. "With a social core and a beautiful mobile interface, Any.DO combines social and mobile to change the way people get things done, together."
"Everyone has a To Do list, whether it's in their head, on sticky notes or in a notepad. Now you just talk to your phone and it's there for you to prioritize, complete or make someone else's problem. Most people's lists have tasks for others, or at least shared tasks. With Any.DO, you can easily share your grocery list with your spouse, organize a social event or collaborate on a work project. It's like a To Do list that is shared with the right people."
Taskos, which launched less than one year ago without any press, has attracted over 1.3 million users and manages nearly 200-thousand tasks per day. Taskos users will be invited to migrate over to the new app.
Any.DO is backed by a $1m investment from Eric Schmidt's Innovation Endeavors, Genesis Partners, Blumberg Capital, Joe Lonsdale (Palantir), Aydin Senkut (Felicis Ventures) and Brian Koo. Elad Gil, Director of Corporate Strategy at Twitter and Eric Tseng, head of mobile products at Facebook, are advisors.
Any.DO was founded in 2010 by Omer Perchik, Yoni Lindenfeld & Itay Kahana. Frustrated with his own procrastination and the general complexity of getting things done, Omer was inspired to create a tool that will simplify the way people do things (so they can have more time for fun). Joining with Yoni and Itay, they started working on a better way to make things happen. The first step was to release Taskos, a simple to do list app, collect some feedback and test some concepts. It was a huge surprise when Taskos quickly became one of the most popular to do list apps. The Any.DO app has been largely influenced by the feedback from the previous app combined with a focus on a simple yet effective user experience.
Headquartered in Palo Alto, California, Any.DO also has offices in Tel Aviv, Israel. It is backed by a team of outstanding angel investors and advisors from Silicon Valley and Israel.
