What is Todoist?
Todoist is one of the best-known to-do list apps, used by more than 30 million people. You type tasks in plain language, such as 'Pay rent every 1st', and Smart Quick Add turns the date, recurrence, project and priority into the right settings. Tasks can be grouped into projects and sections and viewed as a list, a board or, on paid plans, a calendar.
It syncs across the web, desktop, phone, smartwatch and browser extensions, and connects with email and calendars. Recent versions add optional AI helpers: Todoist Assist breaks down tasks and builds filters, and Ramble lets you speak tasks aloud. Teams can share projects in a workspace on the Business plan.
