    All important features are locked behind a paywall. No tags, only 5 lists and most importantly no notifications or reminders unless you pay. I find it fundamentally useless without these features.

    Simple yet powerful. Where Microsoft ToDo has a simple interface and plain old lists, workflowy has significantly more powerful features while maintaining plain text lists.

    Superlist is from the original creators of Wunderlist, which later became Microsoft To-Do, so it retains many of the original features and adds several integrations such as creating tasks from email (similar to To-Do), but also with other third-party apps like Figma, Linear, Notion, etc.
