Verdict

Todoist runs on practically every device you own, turns plain sentences into dated tasks, and costs $5 a month for the version most people want. The free plan is tight and some reviewers find it feels like a web app, but nothing else balances reach, speed and price this well.

Get it if

You want a dependable to-do list that works on Windows, Mac, Linux, phones and watches alike.

Skip it if

You’re all-in on Apple and want a one-time purchase, or you need heavy project-management features.

Overview

Todoist says it is used by “tens of millions of people and teams”, and its download page explains part of the appeal: web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iPhone, iPad, Android, Apple Watch, Wear OS, browser extensions and email add-ons. Natural-language entry (“Submit report every Friday at 4pm”) is the signature feature.

Pro is $5/month billed yearly ($7 monthly) and unlocks the calendar layout, deadlines, custom reminders, task durations, the Task/Email/Filter Assist AI features and unlimited Ramble voice capture. The free Beginner plan stops at 5 personal projects and one week of activity history.

TechRadar (4.5/5, updated May 2025) praises the free tier and reasonable prices but wants better customer support; Zapier’s 2025 roundup likes the platform coverage while noting it “feels like a web app”.
