Robust note taking app with features like setting up reminders. Must to have app.

5.0 2 months ago New

Comments: It's a nice app for taking note and setting remainder for the task. It's robust. Cheaper. All in one kind of app. Must to have. But it is not evolving with respect to the time. More advanced features like blocking calendar, timer, etc are needed.

Pros:

It's a nice app for taking note and setting remainder for the task. It's robust. Cheaper. All in one kind of app. Must to have.

Cons:

The application currently lacks some calendar features, such as the ability to block off time for tasks and share calendar links to display availability.

Todoist is essential. Period.

5.0 2 weeks ago New

Comments: I've been using Todoist DAILY since 2020. The tab is always open (and pinned) on my browser. It became an essential tool for me to manage from personal tasks to business-related projects and even quick freelance jobs. Lightweight, quick, fast, easy to use, and doesn't stay in my way with unnecessary bells and whistles.

Pros:

- It is fast (lightweight). - It is easy to use. - It is extremely useful. - It is affordable. - It gets out of the way and lets me focus on what matters (managing tasks). - No unnecessary bells and whistles. - The AI-powered shorthand input is great and make it very easy to set reminders and due dates.

Cons:

- Dragging and dropping tasks (moving them around, especially subtasks inside a parent task) is painful; doesn't work well. - The "Upcoming" section is confusing having to click through arrows. - Sometimes the search input field does not open via the keyboard shortcut. - Sometimes syncing mobile and desktop does not work.

Give your brain the gift of relaxation!

5.0 4 weeks ago New

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.

Practical and Lightweight Todo List

5.0 2 weeks ago New

Comments: I love it. It syncs easily across teams and personal devices. Its lightweight, easy to use and what not. I highly recommend it for everyone.

Pros:

The feature I like most about Todoist is that we can put widgets on front screen of our devices and the todo list just gets populated as the team puts activities. We can also choose the subset of whole team whom the activities should go through which is a very practical feature. Another thing I like about Todoist is how efficent it is and how less resources it takes. It doesn't eat much RAM or processor.

Cons:

Honestly, there isn't much to dislike about Todoist. Its an amazing tool.
