I like it to be simple, I order all my day in Todoist, the tasks of work and even the tasks of my personal life are ordered by this wonderful application.
Todoist is available for both web and app use. You can schedule reminders and assign tasks to team members, and the format has a clean, user-friendly layout.
Not that easy to use on the whole - thought it integrates with slack, the overall experience is confusing and not at all sleek when Wunderlist, Google keep, Trello, and jira exist, I am not sure why I'd choose this software.
I love how you can easily assign tasks with due dates within a project, which makes group collaboration on a larger project really streamlined and simple. I also love how you can easily creat reminders to respond to emails and it automatically recognizes and attached the email you have open.
Even though I like the easy access within my Gmail account, I wish there was a way to expand / export it so that it's not always only a minimized function inside my email.
It makes project management / task management significantly more streamlined. I used to have to use mtiple tools to collaborate / share with collaborators / set reminders and due dates, but with todoist it's all easily done within one tool.
It's incredibly simple. I don't tend to use most of the customizations because the base functionality works for me. I also appreciate that they set you some default goals to hit and reward you for hitting them.
It is better if there is an action to undo anything if we have made an error. If there is more variety of segmentation it would be useful. It would be more beneficial is a subcategory is been given so that the user will not have scroll to the bottom to find out the task created.
Todist helps people to remember and organize certain tasks. Todist allows to create a task and assign a specific date and deadline and follow up the task and it gives reminders to do those people will not forget and will be organized. It can also help in businesses where we will not miss out any task at the end of the day and there will be a self-satisfaction.
ToDoist is simple to use and makes my every day planning easy. I can create tasks to be done every day/ every week and easily track it in my app, laptop. There is also lots of integration provided like with Alexa etc. You can share your day's list with others and there is an option to collaborate as well.
It would be better if they put a calendar into the app. List view is cool but seeing all the task in the whole calendar sometimes is a necessity.
We used Todoist in our group in the company to share and manage our daily tasks with each other. The best thing about Todoist is managing your tasks in cross-platforms which makes your note-taking job easier. The other cool thing is Dark mode! I just love it.
Simplicity. That's what I love most about this product! It is literally and simply an online to-do list. I've tried different online software to help me with time & project management. Most online software in this family offers too many features that it's almost overwhelming.
Some might consider the simplicity of this software to be a drawback as it has fewer features than other software of its kind. But honestly, that's what I like about it.
I've been using Todoist for about a year now. It's the only time management/project management software that I've stuck to using for so long. And I've gone through so many! I literally cannot live without it! Most of the time I access it through a web browser on my laptop, but it offers an iPhone app as well which I use on occasion. If I think of something I need to do I can add it to Todoist in 10 sec and I'm more likely to not forgot to do whatever the task is. I love Todoist and would highly recommend this wonderful, simple online tool.
The interface makes it easy for me to just hop on and create to do’s
Nothing on the application I dislike.
It was easy to complete day to day tasks by being on my phone
Figuring out what I like best is hard, really. It's the first task app I've ever felt comfortable using consistently. That probably has a lot to do with its Chrome extension. I can quickly add a website as a task and there's a contextual menu for adding tasks to the inbox, as well. Tasks can have notes and attachment. Per-task and per-project e-mail reminders are reliable and easy to set up, unlike those from Google Calendar. It's also easy to share tasks, not just with designated team members but with anyone who has the app. There's a convenient Chrome app which I use when I'm really boring down into a big bunch of tasks but usually I stay in the Chrome extension which is as full-featured as the app. It's just not persistent. I like how the app tracks my productivity. I also appreciate not being constantly nagged to upgrade. The free version is quite powerful. The Premium version is inexpensive considering that. I just discovered the templating feature. Very nice. Imported a Content Calendar for my blog. Templating is available in the free version which I appreciate.
Tough one. I wouldn't mind being able to customize the look of the app more. Some of the grays are too light for my old eyes. Time-tracking would be a nice addition to the app.
Todoist is invaluable in keeping myself organized and on-track, from work tasks to personal reminders.
I love this application, it's a good way to get organized in the different daily tasks, there are several similar ones in the pro market that I think this is the easiest to use.
The mobile version must improve in design and functionality, sometimes I prefer to enter the Platform from the computer.
I organize my tasks of the week with this platform, I put in order my ideas and I establish weekly goals, it feels good to empty the mind in a single space, it leaves you time for the important level of communications the creation of content.
I've used a lot of "checklist" type apps and have landed on this one because it is so easy to create priorities, projects, sub tasks and due dates. I use the pro version which allows for a few extra functions that make it even easier to use as well.
There is actually no feature I dislike about this software. It is easily accessible on my laptop, my iphone and syncs between the two immediately.
The problem I solve using this software is organization for the purpose of getting more done. With the prioritization and projects (which are categories) I am able to organize the multiple jobs I have in my life. I am a freelancer and business owner so this is very important in order to keep everything straight.
I like how easy it is to add tasks and organize everything and the time frame.
I don't like how you cannot add people to share your tasks.
Todoist is used to stay on top of tasks and make life easier. It takes a weight off of my shoulders to not have to remember everything.
Todoist is easy to use, customizable for work or personal instances, and has a great mobile app. The premium features make it easy to collaborate with groups and log notes.
Some of the features - such as colors/skins - would be nice to see as free features while Todoist focuses more on premium working features for its paid members.
I've realized new efficiencies in getting things done at work and at home. Todoist has helped me stay on top of regular, recurring tasks and helps me stay on top of the low-hanging fruit.
I love how Todoist allows the user to organize their many tasks into subsections and being able to sync with google calendar.
I actually have no issues with Todoist, besides the best features being behind a paywall, which is to be expected. (Seeing completed tasks)
Trying to organize and keep track of multiple tasks at once.
For someone who works in events it helps us keep together all of our to-do list for each individual event
We haven't figured out how to repeat to-do list for next year. We have things we have to do each year per event and we would like to make a re-curring to-do list and haven't figured out how to do that.
Keeping all of our thoughts together. We have 10 different things happening at once and with tidiest we can keep all of our thoughts in1 organized location
I love the structure of creating and managing lists. I tried many apps to help me manage my to do lists but only Todoist has passed the test of time.
I dislike how you can only see tasks as a list without a calendar option. The app has integrations with other calendar apps but it never fits quite right.
If anything is to be done it needs to be in Todoist otherwise it is forgotten.
App and browser versions; easy to create and re-.org size tasks.
There isn’t nothing I have found that I dislike.
Project management, customer service, productivity
I've used several task management services before — Todoist is by far the best I have used. I am a premium customer and would cancel all other subscriptions (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Spotify, etc.) before cancelling Todoist. It is intuitive in handling plain-text scheduling (i.e. "in 12 days" is easily understood by the system and plugs in the appropriate date) and is great with intelligent recurring tasks. I love it!
I wish there was more appearance customization. There are only a few select color schemes and not much ability to customize a dashboard view, if desired.
Individual and Group Task Management
The organizational structure is simple and intuitive but still seems to have enough functionality for everything I might want to do with it. I use it every day.
The premium version is too expensive without subsidization from employer
Projects with variable due dates (long, medium, and short term)--it keeps me organized without getting overwhelmed.
This tool rocks. I use the Pro version for some of the upgrades, but even the free version is amazing. It allows me to track projects, daily to dos, and pretty much everything in one of the best interfaces I've seen.
I can't think of anything! Perhaps that the commenting system between collaborative users would be easier to track. Right now it's a little bulkly.
I'm managing projects across my team more effectively and always have a clear picture of what I need to work on.
It is extremely user friendly; the BEST to do list and productivity app I’ve seen. Nicely integrates with Getting Things Done method. Great blog/support/job aids. Free version is amazing and the premium is a valuable upgrade.
Honestly there is nothing I dislike about Todoist.
Better tracking of tasks; less stress; productivity.
Todois is an excellent tool for task management or simple project management. I have used both the desktop mobile version, as well as the Chrome extension. Todoist makes it very easy to keep track of to-do items that may be one time tasks or repeating tasks. Also, Todoist does a great job at creating a well design product that is easy to use.
I would not recommend Todoist for anything outside of small or simple task management scenarios. I have not been a big fan of using it for larger projects, as there are better tools out there. Other than that, there really is not much else to dislike.
I used Todoist for task management and simple project management.
As a proverbial To-Do List queen, making the switch from paper to Todoist was a breeze, and I love, love, love swiping off completed items. Is there honestly anything more completely satisfying than checking something off a to-do list? Doubt it.
I don't think it's Todoist's fault, more so my own - chaotic overwhelm. I have a tendency to add items as soon as I think about it, but then if I scroll through all my various projects, it feels daunting. Assigning dates help, if and only if you can stick to it and set them far enough in advance.
What I love most about this app and the desktop version is that you can share projects, and get notifications when your team members complete things from your shared list. Great for the productivity obsessed teams like ours who never have to ask, are you doing that or am I? We just know now and it works great for late night braindumps of things to do.
Syncing all your tasks into projects with their required completion dates across all your devices
The cost...the free version is great - but when you pay it unlocks so many more great features...it's just a bit more costly than I'd like. I still paid!
My life, both professional and personal has gotten more and more hectic. Todoist allows me to add notes as and when I think of them, with a notification and then let Todoist remember them for me. Being able to do so across my devices (mobile and desktop); and from many different applications (browser, app, mobile app, email client); even using voice (Alexa, Siri)
It has a very intuitive and keyboard accessible UI. It helped me quick assign and schedule to dos on the fly. It helped me especially when my company was using a very cumbersome and inefficient project management system.
I loved everything about ToDoIst. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who needs a task management tool and doesn't need any serious PM tools (Gantt, resource management, etc).
It helped me stay organized on client requests and on following up with the fulfillment team.
I love how it simply organizes folders for different projects or ideas. You can use labels and comments. It's super well made and thought through. Definitely a keeper for the next many years.
You can not set a default project folder so you have to move to the one you want every time you open Todoist. This is a slight bummer but not a deal breaker.
Organizing every single idea and reminders. Scheduling deadlines and keeping track on progress.
What's not to like? It's quick and easy. You can integrate it with Chrome and just click on the button to see what you have to do. Decision fatigue is a killer and so is trying to remember everything that you're supposed to do over the course of a day. Todoist simplifies all that so you can focus on getting things done...and, I hope, making some money while doing them.
It kept pestering me to change my timezone even though I had the correct timezone on my PC. Some graphics next to the things that need to be done could be fun, but that might make the interface less clean (I'm not a GUI expert, after all).
I use it to manage my daily life, which is pretty important. It works just as well for business as it does for making sure you call a friend once a week or whatever it is you feel compelled to do on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
The clean user experience and the productivity karma
I wish I could add a custom hex number to the color coding
I am able to quickly organize my life into buckets and complete tasks
The easy to use interface as well as the clean desig .
I did not find anything that I disliked about this product.
Increasing my productivity and the productivity of my team members. Keeping track of things helps us avoiding dropping the ball.
I love that todoist allows you to organize everything you need to do in as many ways that you could possibly think of! I need lists and to be highly organized so this helps me do that in my own way and digitally. The site is visibly pleasing and allows for customization. I also like that I can share progress and assign tasks with my team
I dislike that there is not a better mobile or desktop application.
We are using Todoist to have our team stay on the same page, use less sticky notes and to track progress. I am realizing the benefits are plentiful and that we are happier when we can see what we need to do, have already done and who will be taking care of what.
I loved the look of the platform and getting to see all of my tasks on page!
I do not have any dislike about this task manager.
I was able to keep up with my project tasks list and completion date. It helps me see everything that needs to be done on a project and remind me!
Todoist is very simple to use and intuitively designed.
I've found it easy to ignore or lose sight of the tasks that I write down.
It's an easy tool for task management and helps with organization.
