Todoist

To-do list & task management software for handling projects

About Todoist

Todoist is a web-based productivity application designed to help businesses keep track of all their important tasks and projects across 15+ platforms and in 20 different languages. Individuals and teams can manage tasks and collaborate on shared projects on the web, mobile devices (iOS, iPad & Android), desktops (Windows & Mac), email inboxes (Gmail & Outlook), and web browsers (Google Chrome, Firefox, & Safari).

Todoist allows businesses to add tasks, set up recurring due dates, and create custom to-do lists according to requirements. It provides an AI-powered feature, Smart Schedule, which utilizes machine learning algorithms to suggest ideal dates for scheduling and rescheduling tasks.

Todoist helps segment large projects into multiple sub-projects or sub-tasks and categorize them using labels, filters or task priority levels. Users are able to create a new task, track the status of their ongoing tasks, and view all completed tasks within their Todoist account.

Using Todoist Karma, organizations can provide points for completed tasks, enabling them to quickly reach defined weekly and monthly productivity goals. Managers can monitor team members' tangible progress with visual graphs, which is color-coded based on specific projects. Other features of the platform include task commenting, overdue task tracking, recurring task creation, daily goal setting, customizable workflow creation, personalized productivity trends, and more.

Todoist offers integration with a range of third-party applications including Google Calendar, Dropbox, Zapier, and more, in order to centralize tasks and streamline task management workflows.

Todoist is a powerful, intuitive to-do list application with many features & only a few flaws

Overall, Todoist has been a life-saver, allowing me to simplify my work life and organize the numerous projects & tasks I have to juggle. While it can be complicated at times and lacks certain features I would love to see, it is the best project management app I've ever used, and I would sorely miss it if Todoist were to be shut down.

Pros

Todoist has simplified my work life - helping to organize all my tasks, projects, and meetings in a simple way that ensures no project is missed. While there is a bit of a learning curve to figure out how to best utilize & organize the platform, the simplicity of it's core features makes it easy for anyone to pick up and use. You are able to hop on their website or app and add a task in an instant; with the ability to schedule the due date, priority, and set it up in a specific project very quickly using their shortcuts. With their team collaboration features, you are also able to assign specific tasks to specific people, allowing for quick and ease collaboration and project management. Plus, Todoist offers numerous templates that help facilitate setup, and a very simple "Karma" rewards system that helps encourage use (and helps make you feel accomplished).

Cons

Todoist offers numerous systems, but unfortunately it can be a bit of a learning curve to learn all the shortcuts (especially when they change periodically) and an effective way to organize the projects & tags. As well, while they offer simple ways to import their templates and allow you to export templates of your own, they don't offer a simple cloud storage solution for those templates - so to load an exported template, you need to download it, keep it, and reupload it when needed. Lastly, they lack the ability to setup certain types of tasks; such as a task with subtasks that all repeat weekly - currently you can schedule them all to happen each week, but the subtasks end up getting listed as full tasks on the due date.

Todoist has been an amazing software to use to manage my tasks and projects! Almost no bugs found when I've been using it and it's been a wonderful companion throughout my career.

Pros

Todoist is a must need for people looking to be more productive in their everyday lives and for work. Todoist is a simple, yet powerful software that is cross-platform for maximal productivity. Todoist can even recognize common language to save the headaches of scheduling recurring tasks.

Cons

Todoist can offer more gamifying experiences for individual projects instead of all of the tasks in an inbox. This can make it more motivating to complete a task instead of looking to complete an never-ending inbox of tasks.

Easy To Use, Not So Easy To Organice

The founder of the company really likes it to keep track of what everyone is doing so I've been using it for the last 5 months (since I started in this company).
But anyway, I actually keep using the Notes App on Mac which is really similar to Todoist but I can keep my tasks private - which is something I wish I could do on Todoist, not sure if there is a way already but it's not very clear who can see what.

Pros

Me and my team really like how easy to use it is.
It helps keeping track of what needs o be done and lets other people know what's been completed.
It doesn't over complicate things and it's really good that you can have it on your phone and get updates on notifications.

Cons

I get that keeping it simple must be the main idea behind this app. However, I'd appreciate if some hierarchy could be applied when organising the tasks.
The way to organise projects on the left part could be, for example, group into folders so once a project is finished you could, for example, move it to an archive folder.

All the Karma points system and the notifications is a bit confusing or just not clear enough. Is it just to cheer you up when you've completed many tasks or has it got any actual purpose?

But the most important: I wish tasks wouldn’t disappear from my inbox right when I complete them.
I wish I could still see them (maybe in a lighter grey colour) so I see what I've completed and then I could manually move them into a project folder when I don't want to see them anymore.

Also, I'd appreciate if some type of colour coding could be applied in some way.

The best cross-platform productivity application

Right now, I think this is the best cross-platform productivity and project/task management application for most people. If you work on a Macbook but have an Android phone, this is the one you want. The mobile and desktop apps are both great and integrate seamlessly. You can't go wrong with this app.

Pros

One of the most full-featured productivity and project management applications I've ever used. The basic to do list functions are excellent, and support natural language on all platforms. Recurrent tasks with reminders works exceptionally well in comparison to other programs. I find myself coming back to this app more than the others.

Cons

The user interface is aesthetically pleasing for the most part, but it is a bit cluttered. Even on the premium version, every menu is filled with options for features that many people will never use (e.g., habit tracking). I would like to see an option for these items to be removed so that the UI can be customized to meet the needs of the user. Also, I think that the recurrent reminders should be included in the free version, because there are other free apps that offer this feature (e.g., Microsoft To Do).
