Wunderlist
An app that lets you create shareable lists of favorites (restaurants, sites in a city, movies, etc.), but it's better known for its shareable to-do lists. Here are some testimonials:
"It organizes my life." -- Anjali Mohan of Client Services Workgroup
"I use it at work and at home. My husband gets reminders from the app when he needs to clean. There's simply no other way I could keep track of all the nitty-gritty details that go into each production." -- Production Manager Kristel Ottis

trello
A slightly more visual rendering of your to-dos, this app allows you to create boards for different projects and separate sharable lists within them. Each task goes on a separate card. Testimonial:
"I've tried tons of task apps, and Trello is by far my favorite. I love how easy it is to customize, color code, and rearrange things. It's also really easy to make collaborative boards and store information -- like files, notes or images -- within a task. My one complaint is that I wish it would ping me when a due date is coming up!" -- Social Media Editor Nadia Goodman.

todoist
Like both Wunderlist and Trello, this to-do list helper has both an app and a web client that communicate. Testimonial:
"I found this in my never-ending search for the perfect task management app. This isn't necessarily it, but it provides simple task organization -- by project, category, priority, due date. It's not fancy, which is honestly why I like it. It also has great APIs so I can hook other things or build my own little tools on the data it provides." -- Product Development Associate Will True

evernote
Evernote is an organizational tool that you can use as a storing place for short notes, or as a place to collect all your thoughts -- links, photos, notes, checklists -- for larger projects. Testimonial:
"Evernote is awesome because it's versatile. You can use it for storing reciepts and outlining travel plans and meeting notes." -- Junior Designer Lilian Chen
