   Super Productivity vs Todoist Comments

   Positive comment by isTrick · Dec 12, 2023

   Super Productivity is amazing. A lot of cool features, but lose in terms of integrations.

   Positive comment by EuropeanHardwareEnjoyer · Dec 25, 2025

   FOSS. No paid subscription BS. It won't irretrievably delete your data after 1 year of inactivity like Todoist does, since it gives you absolute control over your data. No telemetry, privacy-focused.

   Tasks.org vs Todoist Comments

   Negative comment by kendo friendo · Oct 4, 2024

   Requires a subscription to sync with anything other than Google Tasks.

   Positive comment by brunetton · Jan 8, 2021

   Best tasks app I've tried !

   Positive comment by Wireball · Aug 28, 2016

   Android-based task lists, and reminds me very strongly of Astrid. That, and I find it actually more convenient to use than Todoist.

   Free, OpenSource,self-hostable and has an iOS app. That's pretty much all I could ask for and works pretty well, too. Also the UI is much better than lots of the other free alternatives

    Org mode vs Todoist Comments

    Comment by bulldogs · Sep 12, 2026

    These sit on opposite sides of who does the integrating. In Org mode a task is just a headline with a TODO keyword, optional SCHEDULED or DEADLINE timestamps and a property drawer, so the structure is whatever you declare and the whole system stays greppable plain text you own outright. Todoist fixes the data model - project, section, task, labels, priority - and spends the complexity it saves on capture instead: natural-language dates, a sync service and clients on every platform that work without setup. Pick by where you want the work to sit. Org gives you arbitrary structure and full ownership but makes mobile capture, sync and reminders your problem to solve. Todoist hands you those already solved and asks you to live inside its shape.

    Org mode is flexible enough to allow you to do anything as a personal task management system.

    Not quite as feature-rich or intuitive as Todoist, but it is open-source, self-hostable, and an overall excellent application.
