Todoist does things differently but offers more options and control. Hidden feature, eh? Should be more obvious but it’s still cool. Simply add # before a word to turn it into a clickable link. If someone assigns you a task, it will be visible under Assigned to Me. In Microsoft To-Do, any task you mark with star goes to Important list, and all future tasks appear under Planned list. Again, that’s a better approach because I don’t have to switch lists to create one task.īoth Todoist and Microsoft To-Do support natural language. In Todoist, you can create a task on any screen and then choose the list. In Microsoft To-Do, you will select the list and then create a task. And that’s when you notice the differences. Tasks, Lists, and FiltersĬreating tasks is super easy on both the to-do apps. They are well-designed and polished apps, but Todoist mobile apps come with a sidebar which makes things a little quicker.

While Todoist has gone for a bright red theme, Microsoft To-Do has adopted a blue theme.īoth the apps support many color-based themes to choose from. That means you have to go back and forth to change lists.

In the case of mobile apps, Microsoft has no quick sidebar. A menu with lists and filters on the left and corresponding tasks on the right.

Both the apps follow the tried and tested formula here.
