Todoist is the world’s #1 task manager and to-do list app, simplifying life for both you and your team.
It’s integration into email, browser, and other tools is a wonderful feature. Nothing else has helped me get things done like todoist.
There are some features that are lacking such as inability to add details to your tasks, limited entries and even some basic features such as reminders are not available in the free version.

Excelent App for Project and Task Management
Comments: The overall experience is good and I love it. I always recommend it to anyone.
Pros:
I'm thoroughly impressed by Todoist's simplicity and versatility. It allows me to create as many projects as I wish, offering endless personalization options to enhance my experience. I use it for everything from team management and personal projects to daily tasks, appreciating its straightforwardness. The integration with Google Calendar is a standout feature, automatically syncing tasks to my calendar, which is incredibly convenient. Todoist’s simplicity, coupled with its powerful features, makes it an essential tool for managing various aspects of life and work seamlessly.
Cons:
I believe Todoist could further enhance its utility by improving its reporting features. Having more detailed statistics for frequently used projects or insights into peak productivity periods, such as the most active weeks of the year, would be invaluable. This enhancement would provide a deeper understanding of work patterns and project progress.
Todoist, finally I can stop forgetting about what I need to do and just do it
Comments: I love having my tasks well organized to approach every day with a set plan and can work efficiently, without forgetting anything I need to do. Checking things off my list is satisfying and motivates me to get more done.
Pros:
I always have a mental checklist of to-dos in my mind but other than a chaotic notes, app haven't found anything to work as a useful, simple, and seamless checklist like Todoist. It helps me lay everything out to see what I need to get done and at what priority level to work efficiently.
Cons:
The only thing is I wished they integrated with my Notion calendar!
A Mixed Bag
Pros:
One thing I enjoyed thoroughly was the interface and the choice of colors, both for the overall theme and individual customisation.
Cons:
There is a lack of seamlessness. Things feel labored and clunky, especially given the labored way in which to-do aspects and productivity and calendar aspects do not blend in a user friendly manner.
An excellent todo board
Pros:
Todoist does everything I want. It is very easy to add new tasks with the correct information thanks to text shortcuts you can put while typing the title, setting the date, project, tags, priority all in one go. The interface is very clear and displays everything nicely, and you can use different display formats depending on what is more adequate for the project. The mobile app is very good as well. You can use smart queries to filter tasks, which is very useful for me as I have specific scenarios which wouldn't work with preset filters. The pro version is quite cheap considering how much I use it. There's a feature bridging emails to tasks, that I use a lot to sort out incoming email.
Cons:
The website can become a bit unresponsive when applying operations to multiple (20-30) tasks. Sometimes when typing too fast I end up creating new projects or tags, that I have to go delete.
Todoist makes it too easy for you and your team to focus
Comments: Effortless and helped reduce a lot of pending action stress, knowing todoist had my back and all I had to do was follow the steps from point A to B.
Pros:
Easy to sign up and just as easy to get your todo list going and on track within minutes. Excellent and intuitive layout made it almost 2nd nature to know how to get into action and start making a difference in my normally cluttered and convoluted life.
Cons:
Knowing my free trial would be ending at the end of the month.
Now i can manage any task with it.
Comments: It has transformed my productivity by providing a centralized system for managing my tasks and projects. It has helped me stay on top of deadlines, reduce stress, and achieve my goals more effectively.
Pros:
It keeps me organized and on track with its intuitive interface and powerful task management features. I love the ability to create projects, set deadlines, prioritize tasks, and track my progress effortlessly. It's like having a personal assistant for my to-do list.
Cons:
Todoist offers a robust free plan, some advanced features, like reminders and labels, are locked behind the premium subscription.
To do your Tasks
Comments: Todoist is my go-to for managing my to-do list and keeping everything under control. It’s simple to use but packed with features that keep me organized and on track
Pros:
love how easy it is to add tasks, set deadlines, and structure projects with Todoist. The flexibility of recurring tasks, subtasks, and labels makes it perfect for even the most detailed plans. And with syncing across devices, I can check my tasks wherever I am without missing a beat
Cons:
The free version is solid, but some of the best features, like reminders and collaboration tools, are locked behind a paid plan
Good To-Do App but Not For Me
Comments: Overall, this is a good app if you want to be organized with your tasks and work. This is simply not for me because I want something a little bit more simpler. However, this will be perfect for someone who likes using notion on the computer but not on their phone.
Pros:
I like how customizable that interface is, it's nice to change everything the way you want it. I also like how I'm able to connect it with my Google calendar.
Cons:
I don't like making tasks on the app, it feels a bit too much. For example when I make a task with a date and time, it feels like I'm adding a hashtag instead of a label. I would prefer it being a small label underneath like how it is when you check it in upcoming tasks.
Good task management software
Comments: Overall works well and meets the requirements of a task manager
Pros:
Really good software with alot of functionality.
Cons:
I think it would be great if it had lots of media attachments
Simplest To Do List
Comments: Todoist was great for my first experience with an online to do list function.
Pros:
Todoist is very simple to use. It is great for people that are not tech savvy.
Cons:
There are not many of the advanced features that programs like Asana have to manage projects.
Give your brain the gift of relaxation!
Comments: I use Todoist in conjunction with the Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-free Productivity book by David Allen. The whole concept is that if you have a system set up that you can trust, you can add your tasks and remove them from your brain so it can relax and focus on more meaningful tasks than remembering to do the laundry when you get home. Then, if you find you have 10 free minutes and you've set up your tasks according to this system, you can knock out your calls or the like with a quick search to pull all similar tasks into one screen.
Pros:
This is a great program to help you get your life organized. It allows you to attach tasks to projects, add subtasks, schedule and color code tasks, add tags, etc., which then allows you to search by different details and best utilize your time. It's easy to reschedule things, if you don't get them done, and it is seamless to use between mobile and desktop platforms. There are so many ways to slice and dice your list items (if you set them up that way) that it's really easy to utilize Todoist in a variety of ways or to adjust your system if it needs to change over time.
Cons:
Some of the tasks are a little clunky to do on your phone, mostly because it's smaller and touch related. You can be more precise with a mouse and see more options on the desktop. I wish there were more contrasting colors to choose from, but they do give you over 10 options, so that's just me being picky. Mostly no complaints.
An honest and intelligent task management software

Pros:
The simplicity of it, and how it is completely accessible through my keyboard.
Cons:
Sometimes it can feel a little static. Not a very dynamic software. Task can feel like chores.
Simple and good
Comments: It’s good. Used it for like 3 years but stopped when I moved to Notion and Akiflow. Use Notion for everything and Akiflow was better integrated.
Pros:
Very customizable and it’s great if you just want a todo app.
Cons:
It’s not as useful as Notion for example if you want more functionality.
Alternatives Considered:
The best todo app out there
Comments: This has powered my life for over a decade

Quick & Simple to use, but there is a huge depth to the product.

The depth of the product can be overwhelming.
A very good todo-list manager
Pros:
I really like the fact that it is so very easy to use, and that, especially on a Mac, there are so many shortcuts, thus making adding a new task very quick.
Cons:
I literally have nothing negative at all to say about this software, and that is rare!
I've loved Todoist for over 5 years
Comments: My overall experience using Todoist is a very positive one. It's easy to integrate other programs, calendar notifications are easy to schedule. Notifications are sent to whoever's been assigned the task. You can also hide the completed tasks to avoid visual clutter.
Pros:
I love how easy it is to create and edit tasks and projects. There's also the capability to give access to certain people, not everyone. The notifications pop up on my phone and calendar, it's great.
Cons:
Not much I don't like about it except the fun features are additional costs. But Tiago's gotta make money somehow!!

My go to productivity software for 4 years
Comments: My go to productivity software for approximately 4 years. Couldn't live without it at this point — flexes to aiding productivity at work, alongside helping keep track of errands and things to do in my personal life. The fantastic pop noise when you complete a task is icing on the cake.
Pros:
I love using Todoist because its clean, user-friendly interface makes it so easy to stay on top of everything. One of my favorite features is how seamlessly it syncs across all my devices, so whether I’m on my phone, tablet, or computer, my tasks are always up to date. The location-based reminders are also a game-changer for me—it's great to get reminders when I’m near a specific place, so I never forget to run an errand or complete a task when I’m out and about. Overall, it makes managing my tasks feel effortless and keeps me organized wherever I am. Also, the noise is when you complete a task is incredible! That alone keeps me productive.
Cons:
I think the integrations could be really useful, but I've found appropriate resources into using them and applying them day-to-day hard to find.

Pros:
The upcoming view is my to-go so I can see my todo list for the week and any overdue tasks. Being able to make tasks reoccuring is 1 of my favourite features. The mobile app is great for adding items while on the go.
Cons:
I don't have many cons about using Todoist so far. My only con would be only wanting 1 way sync with my calendar. I think with the recent upgrade, the only option now is 2 way.
