It felt like the same web app wrapped inside a container and published as a macOS app. The main problem I had with Todoist was that the macOS app didn’t feel polished. Looking at my stats, I completed around 3600+ tasks with Todoist in one and a half years: All the Todoist karma points I’ve accumulated.Īlthough I had been satisfied with Todoist for quite some time, I was blown away: When I met Things 3 I can add and organise a bunch of tasks in a matter of minutes.Īlthough Todoist offers a ton of other useful features like filters, this one feature was the main reason I stuck to Todoist for so long. This increase in speed is prominent when I’m listing down tasks in bulk.

Organising by typing shortcuts is way faster than having to click ten buttons on the screen. I could naturally type in and organise a task the way I want, like this: Using the natural language input in Todoist. On Todoist, however, the natural language input was a complete game-changer. While every app made it super easy to add a task to my list, organising the task into a project, priorities and timing was a multi-step process.įor each task, I had to jump through multiple hoops to get it adequately organised in popular apps like Any.do. My long-standing problem with to-do list apps had been the inability to organise a task on my list quickly. Let’s start with: Why I chose Todoist in the first place In this post, I’ll talk about what pushed me towards using Todoist in the first place, why I moved to Things 3, and why I switched back. That was until I finally moved back to Todoist last week.


I use parent-child relationships a lot when organising tasks on Todoist.Todoist was the first to-do list app I started using seriously.Īfter trying out and failing at so many to-do list apps, Todoist was the one which made sense to me.īut, around the start of 2020, I switched to another to-do list app called Things 3 and had been using it for months. It exposes three MS To-Do API methods (Add a To-Do, Get a To-Do & List All To-Dos). With no official migration options available from either Microsoft or Doist, I was compelled to try my luck with Microsoft Flow. Another third party alternative that did this was discontinued indefinitely. There is ton of feedback on UserVoice but don’t know if anyone’s looking at it. I did a bit of research and it appears the native option to import tasks from Todoist to MS To-Do was removed (there’s only an option to import from Wunderlist now). I’ve been using Todoist for several years and have a lot of projects & tasks.
