Todoist

Task management that stays out of the way.

Visit Todoist Freemium

Todoist does natural-language input well: type a phrase like pay rent every month on the first and it parses the recurrence. Projects, labels, and filters cover most personal and small-team needs without becoming a system you have to maintain. The free tier allows five active projects.

Where it falls short

Collaboration features are basic compared with project-management tools, and the paid tier is per user, which gets expensive for larger teams.

Alternatives in Productivity

  • Notion
    Documents, databases, and wikis in one flexible workspace.
  • Obsidian
    Local-first notes that are just Markdown files.
  • Linear
    Issue tracking that is fast enough to use without thinking.
