Does it deserve #3?
The verdict
Todoist is the to-do app that works everywhere and stays out of your way. Type 'call Sam every Friday at 3pm' and it sets the date and repeat for you. Projects, labels, filters and shared projects scale from a grocery list to team work, and sync across devices is fast and dependable. The free plan covers the basics, but more projects, calendar layouts and longer activity history need Pro.
- Natural language task entry
- Custom filters and labels
- Shared projects for teams
- List, board and calendar layouts
