Todoist

Pros

I liked how user-friendly Todoist was. The interface was very intuitive, and I could get started using the app very quickly. I also liked how Todoist allowed me to create different projects and add tasks to those projects. This helped me to keep my tasks organized and made it easy for me to see what needed to be done next.

Cons

Nothing I can think of that I disliked about Todoist.

Pros

It is that rare combination of full-featured and SO easy to use.If you want to add a project, you go to the project list, right click, and choose "Add a Project."A dialogue shows up to let you add a task. You can type in "Turn in report Tues at 3 p.m." and you'll get task added that has a deadline right when you wanted. Or set up a board and track projects through stages. You can also set up sub projects and sub tasks for each task.It will tell you all the tasks due today, tomorrow, overdue, whatever timing you indicate.

Cons

You can't do dependencies. It's not great at telling you how long your project will take.You can schedule tasks way out in the future. But you can't rely on Todoist to add up the time of subtasks to tell you how long the entire task will take.

Pros

I like that you can share task with others, good integrations and is intuitive

Cons

Can’t retrieve task loses some functionalities on the app compared to site

Reasons for Switching to Todoist

Pros

What makes Todoist stand out is it's streamlined design. The design itself is minimal and clean. You organize tasks into projects, and those projects can be organized into sub-projects. One of it's best features is natural language input: you can set the due date, priority, project, labels, and more all in the name of the task. This makes it super fast to create & edit tasks, and makes it easy to get ideas out of your head and into Todoist.

Cons

The one feature I want Todoist to have is custom features. At the moment you can create "filters", which allow you to show tasks filtered by due date, project, label, etc. However the tasks always show up in a list style view. I would love it if you could display the filter in an alternate view such as a kanban board, or any of the other views offered by ClickUp's dashboards or Notion's database views.

Pros

This app is super quick on your phone and allows for tasks to be added an updated really quickly and easily - and it's also super easy to use on my laptop - syncs perfectly and just works. I've tried lots of task management apps and this is by far and away the best. It's also very reasonable at just $4 per month.

Cons

The hardest thing is figuring out how to use all the apps functionality - but this is like any tool - especially good ones. Once I figured out how to do a few things - it was all worth it!
