Compare Todoist with other popular tools in the same category.
I really love the following features of Todoist: 1) I like that you can organize tasks by project in addition to organizing by the date that they are due. You can also rank tasks by priority. 2) It is great to be able to check off tasks as you complete them - this is a huge motivation booster! 3) It is helpful to have overdue items pop up at the top of your list as a reminder to work on these items first. 4) You can also download a smartphone app to keep your to-do list with you while you are away from your computer. This also helps if you want to use this application for personal tasks as well.
It can be a bit annoying to receive emails/app push notifications with overdue task items every day. This is easily solved by adjusting the automatic settings so that you only get the push notifications you want to receive.
I always struggled to be organized and often tried to use hand-written lists of my to-dos. This application helps keep me organized, lets me see my upcoming tasks for the entire week/month so that I know what is ahead of me and saves paper!
My favorite parts of Todoist are: Super-fast natural language processing for the quickest task entry there is. Simple / Clean Interface. Features and functions which are align with Doist's vision for the product, and not adding functions and features just for the sake of adding more. Multi-platform support. Lots of options for integrations via Zapier / IFTTT / etc. with Todoist's API.
I wish the Project aspects / hierarchy was a bit more powerful. I wish that there was more (and better) reporting and analysis of open and closed tasks and projects.
I'm using Todoist to keep up with my personal tasks and my work tasks/projects. I've been using Todoist for about a year and a half now. It was drastically improved my organization. Being able to instantly add, review, and work on my tasks from anywhere and with any device is amazing. I also heavily utilize integrations with other services so that everything can flow into Todoist and my task list. I don't have to check multiple systems or applications for things that need to be completed since everything can seamlessly flow into Todoist. One of the biggest benefits is how quick and easy it is to add new tasks and Projects with the Quick Entry feature and Natural Language Processing. Being able to quickly get tasks in is a huge advanced compared to other products I have used and it makes it a lot easier to pick up and use.
I like the app in chrome, because sometimes I remember tasks when I am the computer working, and with that I don't need to use my cellphone to add.
Honestly, I do not dislike anything. All I need is there.
With this app I have the possibility to track any project I am in, even supermarket list. And, since it has an chrome plugin I can use and add task wherever I am.
It's VERY complete and incentive. It has this "karma" unit that you gain every time you complete a task, so you gain levels and get even more motivated to chase your daily objetive. The auto-scheduller for tasks works flawlessly, the app is well adapted to the design language of all the plataforms, it has filters, tags, categories, projects. For me, it's the ultimate productivity tool.
Absolutely nothing. I have been using it for a year and I would buy it and recommend it.
It has boosted my productivity in all ambits, including personal life.
I love the user friendly interface, having the list on my phone and receiving reminders
the product functions well I’d prefer to manage my reminders so that I receive them during work hours only
On the go task list so I can organize and work through tasks easily
If disaster hits and and I fall behind, Todoist makes it easy to pick up where I left off
Hard to set up multiple reminders, since it only lets you automatically add one to each event.
Being able to upload documents makes it easy to schedule reading. I also use it to schedule times to reply to longer email inquiries.
Before I had a hard time reminding myself on how to do things and haven't got a time organizing some tasks at work which leaves me unorganized. Having installed todoist is one of the best choice I made, because I have used this app for 2 years now. As I am a web developer I rely mostly on browser extensions and I don't have much time using desktop apps. What I like about using todoist is that I can categorize everything I want, from personal things to work related tasks. The app is amazing everything because it gives you an option to put a label of priority according to your need. You can also send it to your colleagues at work and the tasks assigned to them can be commented for a better collaboration.
As of now I don't have something against the app or something that I don't like because it's best for me. But something is not quite clear for the karma part where it detects what tasks have you done. Maybe I just want to customise the priotizing part of the tasks/reminders so that it won't be just a generic priority 1-5 label.
It is the task management which is solved.
I love that Todoist allows you to create multiple projects. It also allows you to nest sub-tasks under tasks. That is super helpful as we track the completion of steps in a larger task. I like that the comments section cuts down email and keep communication with the task it pertains to.
I dislike that when I delete a task there is no simple undo. I deleted a task onetime by accident and I had to download a backup (thankful they had that) and manually recreate the task and all its sub-tasks based off of the data in the spreadsheet provided. It was really annoying and we lost all our comments.
We have staff meetings and before Todoist, action items were subject to whoever decided to add tasks to their calendar in the moment. In our meeting now, we can all be assigning each other or ourselves tasks in realtime as we discuss upcoming projects.
I like best that it works on all my devices and is always immediately updated.
I dislike that I would have to pay to access the delegation features. I have done it before, but only on a project basis.
Solving having reminders and to do lists all in one place. Regardless of my device, the project organization is always there.
This software does exactly what you need in any to do list software. It is fully compatible with all of your devices and provides a clean and simple UI. This is especially helpful when implementing a new product with older users. The customer support we received from the Todist team was top notch both during implementation and after.
To get to the real goodies such as location based reminders you have to upgrade to the paid version.
We are keeping workers on track and keeping their tasks in sight. You can organize up to 200 projects and have up to 25 people in each of them with a Premium account so this really helps us in the smaller school setting in collaboration and project work among staff and professional development projects. Oddly enough, even though our district migrated away from Microsoft Office 365 to Google, we just recently migrated from Todoist to Microsofts new Todo. We havent used it yet so I cant gage how it compares to this software. I hope its as good and smooth.
Todoist has enough features that an average user will have all the control they need without feeling overwhelmed
Some features that power uses want, like start on/defer dates, aren't included in an effort to keep Todoist approachable for novices
We use this to track individual tasks and delegate between three levels of employees on a team of 13
I love that it's extremely customizable. You're able to set due dates, repeat tasks, and create tags.
I don't love the email reminders, but there may be a way to disable them.
Able to see all my to-do's in one spot.
I love the flexibility that it provides and the ability to share.
Lack of customization when it comes to being able to prioritize.
Tracking tasks across large teams and projects.
I love the ability to add on to my google calendar and have the app in an easily accessible spot at all times. I also love the reschedule the overdo feature and the calendar reminder option.
There is not much I dislike. I do not use the productivity view often or much at all, but that may be for personal use.
My organization and prioritization are taken care of with Todoist. It is great for keeping me on track.
I love on this app that when you type in your note, ie - "Meeting 4/21 at 2pm with Joe" it automatically categorizes it on the date and time you typed in - no having to open a calendar and scrolling to choose a date and time. It seems small - but it saves a ton of time! The project tree works really well on here also, being able to seed different tasks under one parent is really convenient.
I haven't really found anything that I dislike too much on here - we get kind of overwhelmed in the world with every app having a different function they do well and having so many, but this is one that operates pretty seamlessly.
It's very easy for management to add tasks under jobs for the crew to complete and add them to the job. It's really easy for people to just be able to check off blocks on their cell phone and see positive progress on their overall assignments for the week as they accomplish them. It's also very easy for management to see when someone isn't finishing tasks and is seeming to get bogged down so we can check in. It's very helpful!
It's the easiest virtual way to have a checklist. I use this in my personal life as well as at my job.
Nothing honestly. I think this app is pretty great
It's what I personally use for all of my tasks that I need to get done. It's just like a paper checklist, but virtual.
I absolutely love this product. I love that it is so simple and user friendly. I also love that it seamlessly integrates into every aspect of my life, including my android phone, gmail, gcal, and chrome. I don't have to be concerned about missing a task across any platform!
I'd like it to be easier to share tasks. Also I don't like the fact that the premium version costs so much.
I'm able to handle tasks more efficiently. I can have something populate from an email in gmail, automatically to my gcal, and then automatically to my Todoist!
Todoist is very easy to use, and it features a wide range of features to better organize projects, individual tasks (with tags for easier access), priority and more.
Todoist has currently limited number of filters for the top level tasks filtering.
I am using Todoist to organize my day to day task, involving everything from personal task to work on all my projects.
You can keep the different aspects of your life organized. The to-do lists within to do lists is an aspect that paper planners or even pre-installed apps don't have.
I wish this tool was available through more avenues. If a deal can be struck with apple and this becomes the primary app, so many people would be more aware and take advantage of it.
Project management is so much more manageable especially when you have different groups handling different things. Plus people will able to see your changes in real time.
being able to prioritize each task and rank it
Needs more customization features and creative ways to organize one's day.
it is too simple. Needs more way to layer down the task.
What I like the most is the reactivity of the tool, I can very quickly create a new entry or archive an existing entry
I am currently in evaluation mode and I fell sometimes that I miss some options
I have to deal with tens of cases at the same time, so in order to be organized and to keep in mind where I am for each case, I create entries in Todoist to manage them
I like the multiplatform capabilities of Todoist. Any platform out there seems to be supported. Also the flexibility when using filters and labels and that you can also use your mail client, be it via a plugin or by forwarding mail to (projects within) Todoist is really powerful. So I use forwarding rules in my mail client in combination with filters and labels and I have full control of my tasks.
I dislike the fact that you can only store 200 tasks per project and that I need to divide my project into sub projects. I do a lot of calls and it is not uncommon for me to have 200+ call tasks. Creating sub projects is just a drag here. I hope the peeps at Todoist are going to fix this.
I have one central place where I can manage all my tasks instead of having different task management systems in place from CRM, SharePoint, etc ...
I enjoy that Todoist is accessible on on many platforms and has a clean, straightforward user interface. Good task classification tools. Collaboration supported. Location-based reminders. Offline functionality.
Some important features are only available with a premium account.
I don't use this for my company, but I use it to manage my time and remember when important projects are due.
Does a great job being a basic to-do list, lovely little app.
Understandable that they want to encourage you to use the paid version, but the fact that there's an "oopsie" spot that I can accidentally click and have it yell at me that I need to buy it is a bit aggravating.
Helps me stay organized and stay on track with goals, and not forget items that are upcoming since I can set to-dos for future dates.
Syncs with all of your devices. Option to assign and sync tasks with team members. Easy shorthand to quickly enter tasks. Segmentation using projects and labels. Ability to make notes easily. Karma feature is great for those who are competitive.
Paid version required to unlock teams feature
With several different ways to categorize tasks, I can easily sort and differentiate what I need to get done
Todoist is an easy to use, trask completion tracker. I use it personally and for work and love how easy it is to view and complete tasks. Adding tasks is a breeze and marking them complete is just as easy.
I wish there was a more intuitive way to prioritize tasks. Dragging them to different positions feels kind of slow and clunky.
Keep track of multiple small and large tasks. We can build a separate task group or project and then add team members or tasks for easy tracking.
I use this everyday. It syncs with my Outlook so I always know what I need to get done
It sometimes lags in Outlook so I have to restart the application
The business problem solved was staying organized
I like a few things about this product: - The ability to separate tasks by classification or projects. - The ability to prioritize tasks within classifications/projects, and any given day - The ability to integrate with other apps (using Zapier) - The ability to quickly enter, move, and change tasks. - It's simplicity.
Not much to not like. It's simple and organized. I can't think of anything to dislike. If I had to choose something, I would say that I don't use the paid version and it limits me on some of the things I can do to customize what I see and notifications. I'm most likely going to purchase the premium level after having tested it for free (initial setup).
Staying organized with several tasks. I just started integrating my CRM with Todoist by entering the task into the CRM and migrating the task to the day's tasks on Todoist. Keeps me on track for the day. If it's not on my to do list, it doesn't get done.
Ease of use, great functionalities that integrate really well with any workflow. I personally use GTD and it works really well with the inbox and projects functionality. The reminders are really on point too, allowing for moment or location reminders.
Not many out of the box integrations from the app it self. You need to use a service like IFTT to add more integrations with other apps.
Visualizing my day and ordering tasks that need my immediate attention. I use it for stuff that needs to be done either within the next 7 days or for reminders about events/meetings and other stuff happening further down the road.
It is simple, intuitive, and not another "to-do" on my daily list of chores. It makes task tracking simple.
No complaints thus far! It has a slick UI/UX.
Business and personal tasks are completed more efficiently and quickly, as this works well as my personal assistant.
