“A genusine question as I'm considering things3, as todoist got too expensive and is too overwhelming, and ticktick is Chinese. Additional plus for me is that things is an european-made software.”
“That leads me to thinking do I move back to things or have another crack at Todoist! TickTick for me , for some reason doesn’t feel like an app I enjoy using anymore.”
“When I open the iPhone app, the first screen gives me no way to access or even see whether I have any notifications. Basically, I open Todoist and land on the Today view, but there’s no indication whatsoever that I might have notifications waiting for me.”
“For example, I think Asana's board view is superior to Todoist because the smooth animations of drag and drop, the boards needs weighty and have good contrast between the cards and boards.”
“Yes the simplicity is what makes it an amazing app. It has enough things. One thing I always felt need of was pomodoro timer but having an integration solved that problem.”
“I love Todoist's minimal look and the widget is pretty useful. I find myself using Ramble a lot. I've avoided using the Pro plan so far by finding workarounds or tweaking my tasks lists so that i don't have to use recurrent reminders and all that good stuff that's only in the paid version”
“I’ve used Todoist, Outlook, and an old fashioned to-do list forever but I just started with a company with highly confidential info that doesn’t let us use Todoist so I’m also in the market.”
“The tie breaker was the price—TickTick is still much more affordable than Todoist. If the paid version between the two ever became close, I'd probably move to Todoist.”
“ToDoist is a simpler interface. Notion can do a ton of stuff (like, tons) so it's more versatile but has a steeper learning curve. I recommend starting with ToDoist to see if that fits your needs.”
“I’ve used Todoist with an Outlook add-in for years. It organizes things intuitively and allows for customization by matter, client, priority, and due date. You can turn an email into a task, link back to the original email, add notes and attachments, and keep a running record of what you are waiting on.”
“I tried using it again to see if I was missing out, and tbh, it's a very good task manager compared to most, but I am just paying for stuff I barely use.”
“Meanwhile, they keep increasing the amount of AI in the app, and in turn, keep charging people more and more. I was on a "Pro Legacy" plan for $35/year; to get new features is $60/year. For what, exactly?”
“As an example... every iPhone has shipped with Notes and Reminders for a decade. Free, pre-installed, made by the people who own the OS. Notion, Todoist, TickTick, Things, GoodNotes... whatever, they're all still here and making money.”
“Yeah, it's awful. Like almost unusable. I'm so tired of these productivity apps, I came back to todoist because it used to be the old fast & simple app that just worked.”
“I used Todoist as well for years until the nature of my work and life itself changed slightly, and it stopped working for me - I don't even remember exactly what it was. Now I'm using TickTick planner, and it works so far.”
“I don't think that Todoist can do that. Three ideas
- don't forget to click done. Might sound silly, but Todoist already helps you to focus on what you need to get done. It just requires a little more discipline to check off the completed task”
“Asana for the reasons you listed; Unlimited projects on free matters more over a year than any feature either one is dangling, and the 5 project cap in Todoist arrives faster than you expect”
