I am in love with Todoist, the simple todo list manager.
Todoist is a new kind of todo list, that’s useful and easy to use.
So what is it that makes Todoist better than the other to-do list managers out there?
Off the top of my head, the following features impress me the most:
- A dead simple, but dropdead gorgeous design.
- Create an infinite number of “projects”
- Create nested to-do lists. Ctrl+Right moves a to-do list item to the right, and that is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to using keyboard shortcuts
- Easy to use formatting
- Easy to enter dates/times and to create recurring items: Write “every day at 1 PM” to schedule an item to recur every day at 13:00 hrs!
- Create items with or without checkboxes
- Prioritize items
- Get a list of items due today, this week etc, even create custom queries for different lookups of items on your to-do list. You don’t have to search for the links to do these - there are a minimal number of links and all of them are placed in just the perfect place.
All of it reminds me of the Vim Outliner. This is like a Web 2.0 incarnation of the Vim Outliner, just a lot trimmed down.
I would love to have a Vim outliner style task/project completion estimate, based on the number of checkboxes (and their “depth”) that have been completed.
Also the the todoist homepage could make do with a list of features. Heck, even this article of mine does a better job of “selling” todoist than the homepage!
Todoist is brought to the world by the talented Amir Salihefendic, who also brought us the simple and beautiful Skeletonz, which is a Python powered CMS.
