You also don’t get the ability to use labels, synchronize with your calendar, or add tasks via email. Using the free version of Todoist, you can only have 80 active projects with 150 tasks per project. The main weakness of Todoist lies within the limitations of the free service. Using this integration, I’m able to have new Trello cards automatically added to Todoist, and I can even dictate to-do items to my Amazon Echo and have them automatically show up in the app’s inbox. One of my favorite capabilities, though, comes in the form of its integration with IFTTT. Whether you are quickly adding an item to your grocery list or developing the schedule for a complex project, Todoist can handle it. The app is simple and quick, providing you with easy access to all of the important characteristics of your to-do item. Todoist’s strengths are two-fold: its ease of use and its integration with other services. Another fun feature of Todoist is the Karma score, which ranks you according to how well you complete your goals and maintain your productivity.

A Todoist app is also available for Macs, so you can manage your to-do list from any of your devices. There is also an Apple Watch companion app for Todoist, allowing you to dictate tasks, due dates, and recurring due dates right from your wrist. As Christine Chan has noted, IFTTT makes life easier. My favorite integration is with productivity hack site IFTTT, which stands for “If This, Then That.” IFTTT allows you to link two different services together in an interactive, automated format. The app integrates with other services like Zapier, Google Drive, Cloud Magic, Sunrise Calendar, and others. There are also labels and filters for further refining your organization, whether you’re following the Getting Things Done, or GTD, method or just trying to keep your tasks straight. You can assign tasks and subtasks to yourself and others, set up projects, and collaborate with other people in multiple ways. Todoist is simple to use, but full of features. Price: Free ($29/year for Todoist Premium)Ĭompatibility: Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch In this App Smackdown, we pit Todoist against Wunderlist to see who reigns supreme. Countless people rely on to-do apps to keep track of what they’ve got going on, and there are a number of choices to pick from. Productivity is a big deal, especially with our hectic lives.
