documents to images to even video. And with the number of devices you use,

The any.do streamlined interface allows you to enter to-dos
based on ‘today,’ ‘tomorrow,’ and ‘later,’ and it also features both timed and
location-based reminders. The app will allow you to set up tasks and subtasks
and share them with your group when collaborating on projects. You can also
prioritize classes, assignments, meetings, and more, and the app syncs across
devices, on both iOS and Android.
