Finally Decided to Pay for Task Lists
I have tried probably every task manager out there on iOS, the web, Windows and on Mac and for years I have refused to invest (especially to subscribe) to any service just to manage a fancy task list but I have finally bit the bullet and subscribed because with all the free solutions out there they just arent reliable enough, fast enough and flexible enough to get the job done right. Todoist gets the job done and no matter what device I am on- whether at work on my Windows computer, or using the browser, or on my MacBook at the library, or on my iPhone, or even if I am totally offline and in the middle of a mountain hike far away from cell service... I can rely on Todoist to get the job done and sync any changes back to all my devices as soon as an internet connection is available again.
The main features that set this apart from other I have tried is that it has ALL of the following:
-great speed and reliability (changes show up within seconds on all devices and never get out of sync)
-works offline with seamless sync once internet becomes available again (some apps have severe problems with transitioning from offline to online and back again)
-the labels and filters and query syntax work together to make it possible to have any sort of view you wish, from extremely narrow and focused to very broad. this also makes it possible to examine a massive collection of tasks and information from different perspectives (eg. high priority vs personal tasks only vs only tasks with a due date, etc).
-the multi-platorm design is great, will almost all features being available on all platforms. this enables me to transition seamlessly from mac, to windows, iphone, to chrome, without any complications no matter where i am working from.
-the end result of all this is really the goal, which is very fast and simple task entry, very focused views, and finally the ability to get a lot more done when the clutter can be taken out of the way and organized into meaningful groups and views
Great job Todoist team, and this coming from a person who hates subscriptions but I have found it is worth it.
