12 best task managers in 2025

There are more and more project and task management systems, so it becomes more difficult to choose among them that suits you and your team. In this article I will talk about the best task managers that I managed to use, their advantages and disadvantages.

For all the time I have been working in digital, I have had the opportunity to get acquainted with various services for both personal planning and teamwork. It was not always possible to stick to only one planner for a long time - for various reasons I jumped from one to another. And choosing the right task manager is super-important in order to work comfortably and harmoniously in the future.

Let's get the terms straight:

Task Manager is an application that helps you control tasks and keep track of deadlines, unload a bunch of information from your head so that you don’t forget about anything and don’t burn out. Some are optimal for collaboration, others for personal use, and others are ideal for both.

So, let's take a look at the best task managers that I advise you to take with you in 2025.
