Pros

“It allows scheduling tasks through which user can set reminders for important or upcoming dates and events which makes tasks clutter free.”

Prachi D.

Administrative

“What I like about Microsoft To Do is how light and clean it feels; I’m able to quickly jot down tasks, set reminders for them, and share rudimentary lists with my colleagues without them needing any training.”

Farman K.

Software Developer

“I can manage each project, one at a time, based on how I scheduled myself to do so in To Do. And even better, I can assign some of these tasks to other users, allowing us to collaborate better.”

Nicholas D.

Project Manager

Pros

“Easy task management, clean and intuitive interface, useful deadlines and reminders, recurring tasks help me stay organized, practical for managing campaigns and daily priorities.”

Nicole T.

Event Marketing and Operations

“The standout for me is the keyboard-driven quick-capture shortcut on Mac: I can fire up a capture window instantly without breaking focus, which is huge for staying in flow.”

Nathan K.

Founder and Owner

“It solved a real problem around fast, low-friction task capture — especially that quick-capture shortcut on Mac — and gives me confidence that everything I need to do is in one trusted spot.”

Nathan K.

Founder and Owner

Cons

“The application proves a bit too simplistic for managing complex or cross-functional projects.”

MONICA C.

Senior Procurement Specialist

“When I am working on complex project the app feels limited. And it does not have advance project management features.”

Olesya K.

CTO

“It feels too basic for larger task management needs, lacks advanced features like tagging or detailed progress tracking”

UÖ

Umut Ö.

Developer

Cons

“It is a task management tool (a To-Do List), not a collaborative project manager. If I want to collaborate with a large team, track budgets, or design cross-functional schedules, Todoist hits its limits very quickly.”

Andreja B.

Senior Platform Engineer

“For managing large-scale industrial automation projects requiring strict task dependencies or detailed Gantt charts, Todoist reaches its limits quickly.”

Ron C.

Engineering and Maintenance Leader

“As soon as you try to use Todoist for collaborative project management involving more than three people, the system shows its limits.”
