“Todoist has a good focus on what their product is and where it is going. New functionality is regularly being added, but it never distracts from the main goal: Helping me to get stuff done.”

“It’s simple and straight to the point, not too much useless stuff that instead of improving productivity just adds up to your workload. It’s my task manager of choice!”

★★★★★

“Todoist is a rare five-star Editors’ Choice winner because it is simply the best to-do list app on the market.”

Mauricio Julian Martinez

★★★★★

“It’s the GOAT. It’s not the one with more features, it’s not the more free-version friendly, it’s not the one with less bugs. But somehow there’s no other to-do app like Todoist. I’ve tried em all and Todoist is the one with the best overall experience. And still getting better each time.”

“This app works the way I think. Well worth the price, and I like the fact that the devs are actively evolving the app, so I am certain it will only become more powerful in the future. A real game changer, and it’s having a big impact on both my personal and professional life.”

“If you’re not using Todoist, I don’t know how you’re organizing anything. It’s the ideal blend between simplicity and features. From shopping list to full on project tracker, but without fluff. And the interface is smooth on any medium, which is exceptional. Extremely solid tool.”

Frequently asked questions

Todoist is a great fit for small to mid-sized teams who want clarity without complexity. It works especially well for remote teams, and anyone who prefers to spend their time doing the work rather than setting up the tool to do the work. If your team’s ever opened a new app and thought, “Where do we even start?”, Todoist might be exactly what you’re looking for.

Teams often switch to Todoist after running into friction elsewhere – complex setups, way too many features, or tools that require a full-time owner just to maintain. Todoist offers a calmer, cleaner experience. It’s quick to set up, easy for everyone to use, and gets out of your way so the team can actually get things done. It’s productivity without the intense project management overhead.

It’s built for both, and that’s what makes it different. With Todoist, you don’t need one tool for your team and another for your personal life. You can manage work projects, delegate tasks, and collaborate with your team – while still tracking your own to-dos, reminders, and goals in the same space. No juggling logins. No switching mental modes. Just one calm, focused place for everything that matters (with separate workspaces to give you full control of both life and work).

Yes. Every project in Todoist can be viewed as a list or a board (also as a calendar in our Pro and Business plans). The board layout works just like a Kanban setup – drag and drop tasks between columns, customize stages, and collaborate visually. You get the flexibility of boards but can switch back and forth to other views (like list) as much as you please.

Yes. Todoist integrates with Slack, Google Calendar, Outlook, Microsoft Teams, Zapier, and more. You can sync deadlines, turn messages into tasks, and build automations to keep everything flowing - no duct-tape workflows required.
