My take

Llama Life is simple in the best way. A list, a timer on every task, and you just work down it. For getting through a pile of small things, that's hard to beat.

Where it stops is the rest of the day: meetings, pickups, anything with a fixed time. A list doesn't know about those, so when the day shifts, the list doesn't shift with it. Yoodoo puts tasks around your meetings on one timeline and re-fits them when something runs over.

If a timed list is all you need, Llama Life is cheaper and lovely. If your day has fixed things in it and keeps breaking, try Yoodoo.

Where Llama Life shines

Llama Life is built around one idea, and it does it well: one task at a time, with a countdown on each. You write your list, give each task a time, and work down it. You can see the list’s total time and when you’ll finish. There’s confetti when you tick things off, presets for routines you repeat, and a “not now” place for things that can wait.

If a list is how you think and a timer is what keeps you on track, Llama Life is a good, simple pick. Have a look at llamalife.co.

Where Yoodoo is different

Yoodoo puts your tasks into real time, around your calendar. Your meetings come in from your calendar, and your tasks sit around them on one timeline, so you can see what actually fits before the day starts.

Then, when it doesn’t go to plan, Fix my day asks what happened and re-fits the rest of the day. Meetings and anything you’ve locked stay put, and what doesn’t fit goes to Anytime or tomorrow. That’s in Lite, the free version.

Yoodoo also has a blocker for the apps that pull you away, and Ask Yoodoo to plan your day when you just say it.

Questions

Is Llama Life free?

It has a 7-day trial, then it's $39 a year or $6 a month on the US App Store. Yoodoo Lite is free for good after Yoodoo's 7-day Pro trial.

Does Yoodoo have a timer on each task?

Yes. Start the focus timer on any task and it counts down the time you gave it, with the phone blocker on if you want it.

Can I use both?

You can. Some people timebox a list in one app and plan the day in another, but most end up opening only one. Try Yoodoo for a week and see which one you still open.
