Todoist intellisense is superb, and we can quickly add dates times and priorities to tasks without having to use the mouse. It is highly accessible. It has android and ios support as well and is continuously coming up with new updates and features
It has a very limited free tier. You can only add 5 projects in the free version. It also doesn't allow reminders and notifications for the free version. I believe it could be made a lil more generous for the free tier
Todoist is the application I use to quickly add tasks and plan them so that I don't forget. It has great cross platform accessibility, widgets and apps, so that I can always stay updated
It is very flexible. You can prioritize tasks, break larger tasks into smaller tasks and schedule each small task. You can set up your own categories. There is a mobile app for keeping track on the go. Has all kinds of tools. And sends daily reminders to your email, with lots of encouragement. There are even productivity blogs!
You really have to keep at and be proactive. If you are not looking at your list daily and being actively involved, it can seem like just another to do list. That is not Todoist's fault. But you really have to be committed to using it.
Before using Todoist, I forgot important due dates, I forgot to write down tasks that needed to be done in the future, and I was doing the wrong things first. Todoist taught me how to organize my tasks so that I tackled the hard jobs first, got them done on time, and kept me productive. Todoist also allows you to divide work tasks from personal tasks so you don't forget any but so you organize your day. It's easy to move tasks around and re-prioritize as new projects get thrown at you or if things become more complex.
I love that Todoist helps me manage my time wisely and schedule tasks according to priority. They also have widgets available which is super helpful in ios16
I don't like that I have to manually turn off notifications every now and then.
I have trouble managing time and projects as a freelancer, so Todoist helps me solve this.
How easy and creative the templates are on organizing daily tasks. Having tasks able to repeat themselves on specific days is amazing to make sure I don't forget anything for a client.
Not the biggest fan of how projects are limited based on the paid version, but understandable as their free version includes most of their updates and new features.
Solved my need to organize all my tasks for my book of clients. No task is now too small to remember. Just put the item on a categorized list and remind me what day I need to complete it.
Free plan with great features for project or task management Intuitive and super easy to create, schedule and prioritize tasks The possibility to export projects. The app version is fantastic!
The reminders and automatic backups are unavailable for the free plan User roles available only in premium options
Organization Task management Projects
ToDoist is very simple but very easy to use. I love that it picks up the dates or days written into the headline and assigns it to that day.
It's very simple, which is find, as I don't find anything missing, but it would be cool if if had some other features, like visualisation software.
Todoist makes it very easy to keep track of my to-do list. It's very helpful at keeping track of lists of tasks across various clients.
The UI of Todoist is simple yet fully loaded with all the required options. The automatic date/day detection from the Add Task panel improves the experience. It also synchronizes very well with other calendars like Google Calendar.
There is a bug in the app, both windows app and the android app, because of which it does not synchronize easily. It happens because the app uses "http" requests instead of "https" and in many places like my workplace network, all "http" requests are blocked.
Todoist helps me manage my tasks very well. It helps me get things done and efficiently allows me to manage the tasks to postpone or prepone. It sends regular emails as well for overdue tasks.
Recurring tasks are usually pretty simple in Todoist. When I have a ton of projects I can hide the ones I haven't started
Hidden projects will not appear my list of active projects neither will they be backed up
Automated To-Do list Lets me sync projects with my calendar I have a visual representation of my productivity
The best part about Todoist is the near real-time sync across devices since I often need to switch between devices very fast and get mad if what I typed on my computer does not reflect on my phone. It's straightforward to create projects, labels, and tasks across the board and list views, allowing me to structure my professional tasks and chores under various sections/headings separately, much more easily compared to other apps. The keyboard shortcuts to create tasks and assign them to projects are very simple to remember. The natural language time-date sensing is top class and saves a lot of irritation to manually set time for each task. Two way sync with Google Calendar and other apps like JIRA is also very handy
There's a few features I'd rather like to see in Todoist. One of them is reminders - which are available only in the pro version, but are pretty much a necessity. It'd be great if a limited number of reminders could be added to the free version as well. Todoist also lacks a calendar view, making it impossible to drag and drop tasks to reschedule them. To reschedule, you have to edit each task's time, which is very cumbersome
Following are the major problems I am solving with Todoist : - Personal task management such as paying premiums, bills - Chores and grocery lists - Professional project tracking with integration with JIRA and Google Calendar. Top benefits of Todoist: - Extremely accessible and fast - can use shortcuts to create tasks - Awesome sync with GCal. - Real time sync across devices - Aesthetic UI and dark mode making it simplistic and improve tendency to get things done
Software quality and craftsmanship put into the app
Todoist supports location-based reminders. They work great. However the UI for managing the locations is confusing and doesn't allow removing of locations.
Keeps me organized, it is my second brain.
I love that I can sync different tasks and reminders on desktop and mobile and my Google Calendar. I use it mainly to remind me of recurring payments for subscriptions and other bills. It is my assistant, so I never forget any subscriptions and get nasty surprises and failed charges. I stay on track with ease. I consult it every day and have it as a Chrome extension. And it's free for the use I make of it. I have lists for other things, but my primary usage is tracking recurring bills.
I don't see what I can dislike about it. It has everything I need for what I use it. I didn't know I needed this before I discovered it through Thomas Frank from College Info Geek, who recommended it. I'm glad I did because I can't imagine myself without now!
I'm simplifying my budget management. I'm in control of billing deadlines, and I don't have the anguish of not knowing if I forget something important. It makes my life easier with the different subscriptions I have with my art online business and other bills.
The thing that drew me to Todoist first was its natural language dates. After starting to use it, though, I found it just so easy to break big projects down into manageable tasks and then get those tasks done day after day.
It is unfortunate that many of the features I would consider essential are reserved for paid plans. However, the paid plans are very reasonable. Additionally, I would like to see options for time tracking and due dates vs "want to have done by" dates added in the future.
I've revolutionized my daily task management with Todoist. Every morning, I have my list of things to do already listed for me because I add tasks to Todoist constantly and then have regular review sessions to make sure everything gets scheduled for an appropriate day.
- Ability to set tasks for daily, repeat tasks, time etc. - Simplicity of using the app, also easy to use on both computer + mobile. - Non- intrusive notifications. - Easy to use.
- There is no alarm you can link to the app, for tasks. - I wish I could schedule a task for a particular day of the month on repeat. - There isn't space to add detailed notes to tasks, can just add small ones.
- Ability to schedule habits and tasks. - Keep track of work to be done in the day. - Ability to switch between mobile and computer with ease. - Using inbox to keep track of random thoughts/tasks that pop up.
Easy to use Streamlined feature set Good team collaboration Easy management of projects and tasks
Adding teams to each project can be a nuisance A limited number of integrations available
Large numbers of emails can be turned into tasks, allowing you to empty your email inbox Significant problems can be broken into smaller chunks
I've used Todoist for a long time but when I changed jobs midway through 2021, I thought I might not need to use it anymore. I tried Microsoft ToDo for a while, but it was just missing so much. I missed the simplicity of Todoist. I missed having it everywhere, on any platform (my phone (apple or android), my computers (apple or windows or linux). I missed natural language recognition. I missed location-based reminders. I didn't realize how much I relied on Todoist for everything in my work AND personal life until I wasn't using it anymore. My little experiment lasted about 30 days. Never again.
Really, I don't dislike anything! I know that sounds ridiculous, but at least for me it's true. I've used Todoist for years and I've watched it evolve. The developers are responsive to their users. When they recognize that things are missing or disliked, they fix it. It's rare but appreciated.
I have Multiple Sclerosis, and it affects my thinking significantly. Specifically, I struggle with memory and "brain fog." Without Todoist, I don't know what I would do. It keeps me organized. It reminds me when things are due. I can store needed docs in a note if I need to for an event. It has become my little extra brain. As long as I remember to use it (that's what reminders as for), it's a lifesaver for me!
