What I Don’t Particularly Like about Todoist
But even though I’m seeing the same task twice (maybe a GTD no-no?), I have found the added reminder helpful. At first I thought this was redundant (well… it is). Speaking of email… you can also have Todoist email you reminders of your tasks. This is a must-have for me in a task management app. Todoist assigns an email address to a Project of your choice, so I can email tasks (or forward actionable emails) directly to my Inbox. It’s easy to enter tasks in rapid-fire fashion, too, so you can do a brain dump well with Todoist. Todoist understands natural language, so entering tasks intuitively is no problem. So check out this page and this page for more. I’m sure there are Label and Filter ninja reading this post, and there’s much more to say about them–Todoist can do quite a bit here. So one label of mine is now “Waiting_For.” I’m sure I’ll get used to it, but it feels a little AOL-ish. Then you can filter your tasks by Labels or priority or any other saved search:Īnnoying is the fact that when you create a new Label, if there are two words or more, Todoist automatically inserts an underscore. But Labels allow you to assign contexts and anything else you like to your tasks (expected task duration?). Yeah, you can set up different Projects for organizing your tasks. Sure, there’s an Inbox you can use for GTD-style capture (from anywhere). I don’t know Todoist like I know OmniFocus, but Labels and Filters would appear to be the app’s heart and soul.
#Omnifocus vs todoist mac
Todoist doesn’t offer a Mac Mail plug-in, but as you’ll see below, you can email a task right into a Todoist project, so that’s not a big deal. This, unfortunately, is only available with Chrome–which is too much of a CPU hog for me.
It’s the most ubiquitous and app-integrated task management app on the market. I don’t even really think about it, which is what you hope would be true. It’s much more like Things than (previous versions of) OmniFocus. Todoist’s sync across devices is natural and fast. (And you can tweak the color scheme, too.) No clutter, easy to read, pleasing to the eyes. But the more I’ve used Todoist, the more I appreciate the layout. Here it is in landscape mode on an iPad mini:Īt first I thought it was overly simple, sort of blasé.
