Review Todoist?

Reviewers largely praise Todoist for doing one thing very well: capturing and organizing tasks quickly without extra complexity. They repeatedly call it simple, fast, reliable, and easy to use across devices, with strong natural-language entry, recurring tasks, integrations, and enough flexibility for personal use or small teams. Several say they keep coming back to it after trying heavier tools. The main criticisms are that it feels behind on AI and automation, some advanced planning features are missing, and parts of collaboration, guidance, pricing, or calendar support could be better.

What's great

simple interface (16)calendar integration (4)cross-platform sync (6)integrations (10)recurring tasks (3)quick capture (4)

I used to be a big Todoist user then dropped off for a bit. Ramble hooked me back in and it's never been easier to add Todos to my list. I have a quick button press to ramble plus and MCP connection with @Poke.com so my little assistant can remind be what I have or have not yet completed. Overall great to be back on the app.

What needs improvement

expensive premium version (2)missing Apple Calendar integration (2)missing apple reminders integration (1)

I get the need for paid tiers but some functionalities like tagging are free on other apps.

vs Alternatives

It's just simple, fast, and really responsive. The ability to "Ramble" and then have it connected to my AI assistant was what really won me over.

Clockwise Smart Alarm

Overall very easy tool. Sometimes it has problems syncing and rolling over tasks that weren't completed in the previous day that are scheduled for every day. If you mark them done they don't recur anymore for the current day. It would be nice to allow it to recur for the current day and just forget that you didn't complete it the previous day.

I’ve tried a lot of task managers over the years, but Todoist sticks because it’s simple, fast, and consistent across devices. Adding tasks takes seconds, the natural language input works really well (“tomorrow at 9am”, “every Monday”), and the project + label system is flexible without being overwhelming.

What needs improvement

limited customization (2)recurring tasks (2)

One area I’d love to see improved is deeper automation or smarter AI suggestions (e.g., auto-prioritizing tasks based on patterns). But even without that, it’s a solid daily driver for personal and team productivity.

vs Alternatives

I chose it over tools like Asana because it’s lighter and faster to adopt. Todoist focuses on personal and small-team execution without the overhead of complex project structures, making it easier for non-technical users to stick with it long-term.

I have been using Todoist for a few years in the free version and it's certainly an app that I couldn't live without anymore. I use it to share some work projects with team members, manage and solve tasks, or keep track of activities to then include in the reports to be delivered to clients. I find it simple, intuitive, always well-functioning and updated. I have also had the opportunity to try the paid version, but for my uses it turned out to be too expensive compared to the actual use I made of the premium options. I hardly think I will be able to find a better alternative than this. The only missing feature is perhaps a real integration with Apple's Calendar app.

I'm a student and I've been using this app for almost six months. How lightweight the app is makes me get the hang of it with zero-learning curve. I can easily set up my daily plan with some shortcuts, and the day just rolls out accordingly. This lets me stay focused and avoid distraction. It'll be great if there's a way for me to stick on the app, since I easily forget or tired of using this app from time to time.

Found this app after comparing some task-managing tools, and I found this to have the most features I was looking for. I use it daily, both for work and private. It has so much potential with all the available integrations, which can feel a bit overwhelming, but it's not necessarily a bad thing. Because of this, the thing I am missing is more examples and guidance on what the app can do, really!

Todoist is great at attacking shallow work, the ones that brings death by a thousand cuts. Design is not upto par with Things 3 and key concepts are missing like start date and duration of a task but its integration with third party apps, solid API and task URLs for deep linking are unmatchable. Overall, its a reliable app that doesn't break.

Love the simple and intuitive interface, clean and easy to work with

vs Alternatives

A lot faster than Trello and better integrations. Plus Atlassian is not my top choice from a customer support perspective.

Todoist is a great productivity app that I use on a daily basis to help me stay organized and on track with my tasks. It has a simple and intuitive interface, allowing me to easily create tasks, set due dates, and prioritize them. It also has a great integration with other apps, such as Google Calendar and Slack, which makes it even more useful. Overall, Todoist is an excellent tool for staying productive and organized.

Excellent app, I've been using todoist for a couple of years, the feature set and the smooth user experience is a delight, it syncs wonderfully, integrates perfectly with many of apps and gives insights about your productivity and more. The company has an rock solid vision which can be seen on all the products they produce.

Todoist to me is about as simple as it gets. A todo app. But they do todo'ing better than all the other top competitors in the to-do app space. I still have my eye out for an up and coming competitor with fresh, innovative features, but until then, I'll take my Master karma and keep on todo'ing with Todoist.

I have a few favorite to-do apps, but my top pick is Todoist. It's a simple, yet powerful app that helps me stay organized and on track. I like that it's easy to use, but it also has a lot of features that I find helpful, like: Customization, collaboration and integrations.
