At its most basic, Todoist allows you to create digital to-do lists, and organize them into different categories or “projects.” But it also includes features that allow you to do a lot more with it than you can with a typical to-do list: It works and syncs across platforms. Todoist has apps for all desktop and smartphone operating systems. Set up the Facebook Groups trigger, and make magic happen automatically in Todoist. Zapier's automation tools make it easy to connect Facebook Groups and Todoist. Connect your Todoist to hundreds of channels — including Pocket, Facebook, Fitbit, and more. For example, in implementing Todoist’s Upcoming View, one of the DO requirements was that users be able to scroll infinitely through due dates on all platforms. While the designer worked on refining the UX and UI design, the developers were already working on changes to ensure that the infinite scroll would be fast and smooth. Integrate Facebook Pages and Todoist the way you want. Stay on top of your task list by automatically creating, updating and organizing them in Todoist. Connect Facebook Pages and Todoist with your other cloud apps and run workflows.

Todoist is one of the best to-do list applications on the market, but there are alternatives.
We’re here to shortlist a few of the best Todoist alternatives and recommendations.
⚡️ Some might include affiliate links
1. TickTick
TickTick is probably Todoist’s closest rival. Like a long-lost cousin, they have similar traits - a to-do list, filters, tags, boards and a very similar design.
However, TickTick adds a layer of habit tracking, custom themes and calendar view locked away in premium. If you want something close to Todoist, without being Todoist, this is your best bet.
2. Things 3
If Todoist was a bit too cluttered. Then Things 3 is the clutter-free minimal design you might be looking for, with an entirely different method to working (upcoming, anytime, someday)
Things 3 takes time to get used to, but offers a stunning alternative to Todoist without a subscription fee, although if you have a Mac, iPad and iPhone, you’ll still be shelling out a one-off $80 price.
3. Zenkit To-Do
Probably the newest of the options, but offers the best suite experience. Zenkit To-Do provides a Wunderlist like experience to managing your tasks, offering themes, tasks, project lists and tags.
All very helpful but not totally offering a full feature comparison to Todoist, but if you are looking at Microsoft To-Do, it’ll be a better bet than that overall, if budgets not your worry.
4. ClickUp
This is primarily a project management software, but offers a helpful free and personal version of the account. This is perfect if your goal is to manage your tasks and projects in a variety of flexible views - like timeline, board and table view, to name a few.
5. Any.Do
Any.Do provides a much more relaxed way to manage your tasks, but the special feature people love is being able to see their calendar events alongside their tasks, combined with a minimal design and look.
This is more suited to the folks who want a balanced to-do list application, with very little to learn when you get started.
Others notable alternatives include 2Do, Remember the Milk and Sorted 3.
✨ Curious about them all and how they weigh up against each other?
Free up your mental space
Regain clarity and calmness by getting all those tasks out of your head and onto your to-do list (no matter where you are or what device you use).
