Drag Task vs Tweek
Drag Task vs Tweek: a smaller, completely free alternative
If you like Tweek but do not want to hit a paid tier, Drag Task is the closer comparison than anything else on this list — both are deliberately small to-do lists laid out as a calendar rather than a flat list. The honest summary: Tweek is the more capable product, and Drag Task is the more completely free one. Tweek gives you a fixed week at a glance plus native phone apps, and charges for recurring tasks, reminders and calendar sync. Drag Task gives you an endlessly scrollable calendar with every feature it has, forever, for nothing — because it has far fewer features.
Pick Tweek
Choose Tweek if you want a proper installed app on your phone, recurring tasks, reminders, or to see a whole week locked in one screen — and you are willing to pay for the first three.
Pick Drag Task
Choose Drag Task if you want a to-do list on a calendar with no paid tier to run into, no install, and no setup — and you would rather scroll freely through weeks and months than see a fixed seven days.

What Tweek does better
- Real iOS and Android apps, rather than a web page on your home screen.
- Recurring tasks, reminders, subtasks and file attachments — Drag Task has none of these and is not planning them.
- Two-way sync with Google Calendar and Apple Calendar and Reminders.
- A whole week visible at once without scrolling, plus 'Someday' columns for undated work.
- Sharing a calendar with family or publishing one read-only.
- Automatically rolling unfinished tasks forward so nothing silently goes stale.
What Drag Task does better
- Everything it does is free. There is no tier to reach, so no feature you rely on can move behind a paywall later.
- The calendar scrolls without limit in both directions, so planning three weeks out is the same gesture as planning tomorrow.
- You can use the entire app before deciding anything — the demo needs no account and stores nothing.
- Less to learn. There are no colours, calendars, Someday columns or settings to decide about.
The honest verdict
Tweek is the better tool for most people, and that is a fair thing for this page to say. Drag Task is worth trying if you are the kind of person who bounced off Tweek's paid prompts, or who wants strictly less: one calendar, tasks on days, dragging, and nothing to configure or pay for.
