I’ve often played with various to do list incarnations and usually can never find one that works exactly as I want. The problem is a to do list is a rather simple concept, yet most online to do lists are either overly simple or overly complicated. I need something that is in between. Or rather, lets me easily pick how complex I want it to be.
Today I discovered Todoist and I think I’ve found my last to do list app. The basic version (which covers most all you’d need) is free, with some extra features thrown in for a small fee. Things I love about Todoist:
- Nested groups and to do lists
- Tons of keyboard shortcuts to make list entry and management easy
- Built-in calendar system with intelligent date entry (I can type “every Saturday” and it knows what I mean)
- Full export of all your lists via XML
- iGoogle widget is awesome if you use iGoogle as your start page
- Easily customizable views
If I use this service enough over the next month, I might just spring the few extra bucks to get more features such as email reminders. Check it out at todoist.com.
