In their own right
GoodTask
A layer over Apple Reminders and Calendar that adds smart lists, quick actions, templates and board views, sold once for $39.99 rather than by subscription.
OmniFocus 4
A serious task manager with nested projects, tags, defer dates, custom perspectives and a formal review cycle. Omni leads with a subscription but still sells a one-time licence, and that licence covers every Apple platform in one purchase.
