Todoist – Powerful To-Do Lists

Everyone is looking for ways to get more done each day. Todoist believes it has a solution. The web-based to-do list application lets its users manage personal and professional tasks anywhere, online or offline, across more than a dozen different platforms and devices.

Create to-do lists that encompass your entire life, quickly turning your browser into a task manager and your smartphone into a productivity tool. Manually add tasks to the Todoist app and organize those tasks with labels and due dates. Todoist provides you with the ability to create sub-tasks and sub-projects as a way to break larger tasks into more do-able chunks. You can share and collaborate on tasks with friends or colleagues, and receive instant notifications when the people you’re collaborating with have added comments or marked their own tasks as complete. You’ll also receive reminder notifications before certain tasks are due, which ensures you’ll never miss an important deadline.

Todoist is best known as a personal to-do list application, however advanced features also make the application suitable for business users. Businesses can collaborate on projects and manage tasks. Employees are even able to access files through Todoist’s native apps for the iPhone, iPad, and Android devices.
