What is it?

Todoist is a task list that has quietly stayed excellent for over a decade. Type 'send invoice every Friday at 9am' and it sets the task, the repeat and the reminder. It runs on every phone, computer and browser you own.

It handles projects, labels, filters and shared lists without ever feeling heavy. Todoist's official Claude connection lets Claude add, complete and organise tasks for you, which makes it a good place for Claude Code to drop follow-ups while you work.

It is deliberately simple. If you need time estimates and automatic scheduling, pair it with Reclaim, and if you need full team project management, look elsewhere.

Who it's for

Anyone who wants a dependable task list that is fast to use and stays out of the way.

Best for

  • Personal task management
  • Recurring reminders
  • Quick capture from any device
  • Tasks Claude can add for you

Why it made the list

The best balance of simplicity and depth in a to-do app, and the Claude connection makes it a useful inbox for AI-generated tasks.
