The Slack integration posts notifications to a Slack channel when you add, update and complete to-dos. Lastly, it’s nice that you can restore lists up to 30 days after deleting them. Or get creative and prioritize by #Urgent or #Red, #Blue, #Green. You could use #High, #Medium, #Low or #A, #B, #C. But then there’s also tags, which can be literally anything. You can also assign tasks a priority in a number of ways. You can view your tasks by week, or see all your tasks on one screen. The layout is attractive and you can customize the backgrounds. Here's a handy chart for comparing the options at a glance:īut before we get further into the alternatives, let’s talk about Wunderlist - for comparison, and old time’s, sake. (I’ll also let you know which I chose at the end.)

There are four other excellent contenders vying to manage our precious to-do lists. Personally, I’ve disliked Microsoft since having to use Outlook in 2008 at my first desk job. So, where are we going next, comrades? Microsoft wants us to migrate to their task manager, Microsoft To Do. I’ve managed my to-do list with Wunderlist since 2014. This piece is, shall we say, personal for me. That’s when users stopped being able to update or edit lists or tasks. Microsoft bought Wunderlist and shut it down on May 6, 2020.
