Overview

[edit]

Todoist allows users to organize tasks using projects, labels, priority levels, due dates, and comments.[4] Additional features include reminders, goal tracking, and calendar integration with push notification reminders based on location.[4] Tasks can be added with voice commands and the AI can answer questions about tasks or break them down into sub-tasks.[5][6] Todoist is available on tablets, desktop computers, smartphones, and wearables.[4]

History

[edit]

Todoist was created in 2007 by Amir Salihefendic[7] as a hobby project.[8] It was developed without any formal funding.[9] By 2012, it had 350,000 users[10] which grew to 5 million by 2015.[11] The web version of Todoist was introduced in 2012, along with HTML 5 integration and native mobile applications.[7][10] In 2013, it added the "Karma" system, which gamified the completion of tasks by rewarding users with Karma for completing tasks on time.[4]:31[7] In 2015, the ability to interpret sentences into recurring tasks and appointments was added.[8]

In 2016, it added "Smart Calendar," which suggests deadlines for tasks based on the user's schedule and habits.[12][13] Todoist was also rebranded that year with a new logo and changes to the user interface.[11] In 2019, Todoist Foundations was released. This release added sub-sections to projects, user interface improvements, and setup the tool for future changes.[9][14] In 2020, "Workspaces" was added for teams to collaborate on projects[1] and kanban-style "Boards" for business users.[15] It also added "Upcoming View," which shows tasks coming up that day or week.[16]

As of 2024, there were 30 million users.[1] Todoist clients are available for Android, Windows, Mac, and Linux.[17]
