“I use Todoist app. You can set timed reminders, recurring reminders like, "daily, twice a week, or 3pm everyday" etc. and set priority for things too.”
“I use Chrome and sometime in the last week or two the web interface for Todoist has started lagging. I click on something and then 4-5 seconds later it opens, it's probably like this 75% of the time. I deleted all cookies and cache files, restarted the browser, restarted the computer, disabled all my Chrome extensions.”
“I use a lot of filters in Todoist to reduce the clutter, and I *also* use a couple of other apps for specific lists that otherwise would clutter Todoist (e.g., Apple Reminders for my grocery list since it auto-sorts by category).”
“Also, and this is important, it’s too easy to fill up todoist with all kinds of crap tasks that don’t actually need tracking through an app. Laundry would be one of those for me, I can see when the hamper starts to fill up or I’m running out of clean stuff to wear.”
“This might not be helpful for you, but I have a single "assess life admin/household task status" task in todoist that recurrs every other day. I have all the specific tasks like this (haircut/laundry/swap filters/etc etc) in one of those housekeeping/chore chart type apps that color codes them from green to red the longer off my "planned" timeline I get.”
“No, the global keyboard shortcuts dont work when you install it as a web app but what I do is that I have the todoist mac app open but minimized so I can use the quick capture shortcut.”
“On my Android device, I use Google Keep for quick notes, TickTick and Todoist for task management, and Type Keeper as a clipboard manager and text retainer to keep track of past fillings and copied text.”
“I write stuff down to do in so many places; sticky notes, PC notepad, iPhone notes, discord (msgs to this server I made to organize more stuff), Todoist, obsidian, notion… hell even write tasks in google search bar and leave million tabs open. I have started writing stuff on my hands even.”
“What about creating one using claude? It can connect google cal and outlook and todoist for todo lists and make a dashboard for you to get an easy view into your day”
“Plus Todoist follows the calendar date and time, not the working date and time. If my work time is past midnight, all recurring tasks completed past midnight are wrong.”
“imo Todoist is pretty decent. My only complaint is that if you complete a daily task that was overdue, the next due date will be tomorrow instead of today.”
“For task management, it is contained in its own section and can also be plugged into external tools like TickTick/Todoist.** Usually I can't stand those integrations, but I have been pleasantly surprised at how well Capacities complements my existing GTD setup in TickTick.”
“I've tried a lot of productivity apps over the years, and even if people kept recommending me Notion it just never did it for me, instead I'm actually stuck with Todoist. It's simple enough for me like I use it for work, random ideas, and personal projects.”
“Todoist is actually a great example of this - the habit is creating a task, and they make that as simple as possible through hotkeys. Then the reward is completing a task/all tasks. The user just has to spend a fraction of a second to open the app and click done to get the reward.”
“For me, it’s basically Todoist + Google Calendar + Notion, with n8n tying the repetitive stuff together. Todoist handles tasks, Calendar handles time-blocking, Notion is where I keep project/context notes, and n8n automates the boring handoffs between them.”
“I can understand ToDoist’s approach of not letting users make it too complicated, but it would be nice to have some more options as you get it more advanced.”
“I wrote down an important task, todoist decided not to save it, and of course, I completely forgot about it. Now the whole team is chasing me down for something I didn't even realize was pending.”
“**Easier setup.** There are a few different ways to pull in your Todoist API token now. The simplest: save it as a text file, sync it into the SuperTask folder with the Partner app, tap Import, and the file is deleted once the token is stored.”
“Managing my calendar, todoist, Gmail can also be completed in chat mode. It is like I only use work mode for coding the experiments from paper and documents creating on local.”
“I have been using Todoist since 2015 and have 72,130 tasks complete at the moment. Can definitely confirm that 100,000 completed tasks is a great achievement!”
“Most of the free features are what you would get in other apps paid versions, and it has MCP connections so I connect it to claude for a morning brief of my schedule/tasks”
“Google calendar, Gmail, Todoist (paid), Evernote and Google Drive files would remain the real evidence owners. The chart would be the current clinical summary, not another archive and not another task manager.”
“For most of them, they're trivial and I don't struggle at all to complete them, but that's not the point: I wouldn't consistently remember to do them if I didn't have them in Todoist. I have karma turned off; I don't need or like the gamification of "doing stuff" personally.”
“Personally, I struggle with being too specific and creating a task for every little thing. If I fall behind - be it illness, craziness with kids, whatever - I just fall so far behind it becomes this impossible mountain.”
“Every time I try to run away from this app, I come back because as a person with AuDHD it’s just so damn good at helping me manage my full time working parent life.”
“I’ve been using Todoist for years and I have a good system but lately i keep running into the problem where I have too many tasks in a project. Originally I had a project called “new studies” and a task to open a specific study with a TON of sub tasks nested in there.”
“I managed to get the shortcut updated but I’m not able to get it working. All the final step will give me is a ‘network connection’ lost error. There is no other network issue with the phone and my shortcut settings have not changed.”
“Asana is great for trans and projects, but it does have a lot of features a solo dev won’t use. I think Todoist is a better fit personally for your use case.”
“a todoist due-check is exactly that shape, deterministic query, tiny message. keep the model for turns that need judgement, set cron.model to something cheap for the rest, and that $20 a week drops to pennies.”
“My own working memory system ( https://github.com/sagarbehere/working-memory-system ) writes tasks to Todoist and also recalls them on demand (it doesn’t nudge me proactively, but that’s a trivial cron job away).”
