Overview
Todoist combines fast task capture with projects, sections, labels, priorities, recurring due dates, filters, reminders, and collaboration. Its current plans range from the free Beginner tier to Pro for individual power users and Business for teams. Pro adds features such as calendar layout, task duration, custom reminders, full activity history, Todoist Assist, deadlines, and unlimited Ramble sessions, while Business adds a shared team workspace, team roles and permissions, centralized billing, and higher team-project limits. Todoist is available across web, desktop, and mobile platforms, and it also provides an API and official developer tools for integrations and automation.
