   Super Productivity vs Todoist Comments

   Positive comment by isTrick · Dec 12, 2023

   Super Productivity is amazing. A lot of cool features, but lose in terms of integrations.

   Positive comment by EuropeanHardwareEnjoyer · Dec 25, 2025

   FOSS. No paid subscription BS. It won't irretrievably delete your data after 1 year of inactivity like Todoist does, since it gives you absolute control over your data. No telemetry, privacy-focused.

   TickTick vs Todoist Comments

   Top Positive Comment by WofWca · Jun 12, 2019

   The free plan offers more than that of Todoist (e.g. tags).

   Top Negative Comment by John Fastman · Jan 25, 2017

   TickTick looks like a ToDoIst knock-off, they have a very vague privacy policy, the parent company is based in Hong Kong, no replies to emails about how they store user data, how long it would take to delete if I cancelled or how they handle credit card info. I wouldn't trust them with any private information.

   Positive comment by Doomo · Apr 30, 2024

   Feature-rich and simpler to use.

   Workflowy vs Todoist Comments

   Positive comment by John Fastman · Mar 7, 2017

   Workflowy is a good alternative to ToDoIst in that it's more flexible for making hierarchical notes and lists. It's a bad alternative in the sense that it has no parsing or calendaring features. "Meet Jim on Monday" remains as text and is not parsed as a new task scheduled for Monday.

   Free, OpenSource,self-hostable and has an iOS app. That's pretty much all I could ask for and works pretty well, too. Also the UI is much better than lots of the other free alternatives

    Lunatask respects your privacy and end to end encrypts your tasks, calendars, and more. The app also has multiple formats to display your same tasks, so there is no switching apps needed to try other task formats.

    Org mode vs Todoist Comments

    Comment by bulldogs · Sep 12, 2026

    These sit on opposite sides of who does the integrating. In Org mode a task is just a headline with a TODO keyword, optional SCHEDULED or DEADLINE timestamps and a property drawer, so the structure is whatever you declare and the whole system stays greppable plain text you own outright. Todoist fixes the data model - project, section, task, labels, priority - and spends the complexity it saves on capture instead: natural-language dates, a sync service and clients on every platform that work without setup. Pick by where you want the work to sit. Org gives you arbitrary structure and full ownership but makes mobile capture, sync and reminders your problem to solve. Todoist hands you those already solved and asks you to live inside its shape.

    Positive comment by Guest · May 31, 2020

    Org mode is flexible enough to allow you to do anything as a personal task management system.

    Remember The Milk vs Todoist Comments

    Positive comment by sondrak · Mar 25, 2019

    RememberTheMilk and Todoist have very similar feature sets. I'm a diehard RememberTheMilk fan myself, though. I can type a new task and all its metadata very fast with only the keyboard. Between not needing the mouse and RememberTheMilk's fast interface, I spend very little time messing with my software and more time getting work done.

    Positive comment by Wesley Jensen · May 8, 2020

    One of the best sets of features in a task listing app.
