Some people get a shudder from gibe detail off a hired man - written to - do lean . Others prefer to make out their life with feature - packed digital calendar . I am both , and when I discovered Todoist earlier this year , it seemed like the best of both humankind : the simpleness of do tasks in a centralised app combined with the simple pleasure of tick tasks off when you complete them . Now Todoist is even good with a facelift that delivers a fresh look and even more helpful young feature .
The popular chore management app on Tuesday rolled out abrand new version for iOSthat set the stage for a dramatic , platform - wide overhaul . Some 4 million people use Todoist to add 510,000 projects daily , and apportion an average of 52,000 task a day across zillion of projects . Todoist founder and CEO Amir Salihefendic told me his squad has been working to make the task management tool ’s nomadic apps as brawny as its desktop version , and with version 10 , they have ultimately come through .
“ A few geezerhood ago . you could only do a simple list and nothing else , ” Salihefendic say . “ Now we have made the fluid apps as herculean as our screen background apps , and I think they are easier to use and more visceral . ”
A slew of new (free!) features
There are immediately obvious changes : Version 10 gives Todoist a makeover that makes every fundamental interaction cleaner and unsubdivided to use . There are also now 10 theme to take from , so you’re able to swap in tangerine , blueberry , or a neutral ghost for the Todoist red .
Todoist now let you easy redact and reorganize labor across multiple projection .
But the new Todoist for iOS goes beyond a impudent face . The app ’s novel feature are subtle but convenient . The two biggest change are multi - task editing , which lets you change due dates , delegate , and move multiple undertaking from one task to another , and more well-informed scheduling , so you’re able to create tasks with unique start and end appointment like , “ Run 5 mile every Monday , Wednesday , and Friday at 7 a.m. from May 1 through November 1 . ” Todoist has always been able to parse deadline dates / time as you type , but now it ’s even smart — and the app ’s in - strain adding can know 10 languages .
Todoist ’s overhauled date - parsing is one of the feature that will take time for its users to discover , but it ’s also what sets the app asunder , Salihefendic said . More than 50 percent of Todoist tasks include dates , so the companionship determine to make those date “ much more powerful ” in a way that no other to - do lean app has done .
Another new feature is one I did n’t even realize I wanted until I had it : the ability to pull asunder two tasks to summate one in between . you may also apply a foresightful printing press to reorder projects , move sub - undertaking from one task to another , and collapse or inflate tasks or project .
All of the Modern feature film , minus a few of the themes , are available in the free interpretation of Todoist . Premium users can pay $ 29 a class to unlock label , task monitor , location reminder , calendar synchronization , productivity trailing , and the staring program library of colour scheme .
