I've been scouring the internet and App Store all morning looking for a task/event management app that allows you to do the following:

  1. Create event/project "templates" so that I don't have to write out the same 20-30 tasks each time I have a webinar/training session (because each time the task list is the same)
  2. Set a due date relative to the date of the event, as opposed to having to set a fixed date for each task. This way, when I create a new project/task list from the template and I set the date of the event, it will automatically assign fixed dates to each of the tasks based on the relative dates I set in the template (e.g. 2 weeks before event, 1 week before, 2 days after)

I conduct webinars and training sessions as part of my job, and I currently just use a pre-event and post-event task list that I print off and check off as I complete as task. I would like to make the list electronic for several reasons, however, so I am looking for an app that is somewhere between a simple to-do list but and a full-on project manager (most of the larger project manger apps I've found allow you to assign costs to ask task, assign length of time it'll take, etc. and I just need something simpler). Maybe I'm just not using the right terminology when I'm searching, but none of the apps I've seen have been able to do both 1 and 2. I tried one app where you could create templates, but it only worked with fixed due dates.

The apps I've tried until now are: Nozbe, Todo Cloud, and Wunderlist, although I've looked a ton more on the App Store. I don't want to start buying apps unless I know they have the two functions I'm looking for, but I am willing to spend money on it if it can do that I need.

Can anyone recommend an app, or am I stuck in the realm of hard copy?

Thanks!
