Todoist is an app for cloud-based task- and project-management for both personal (Todoist) and professional (Todoist for Business) productivity. It allows users to manage their tasks from a smartphone, tablet and computer (14 platforms in total). The app is free; additional collaboration features are available in a paid version known as Todoist Premium. Todoist was created in 2007 by startup Doist. As of November 2014, it has 3 million users.

Features

In Todoist, projects can be created and, within those projects, tasks are added. Projects may contain other sub-projects, and tasks may contain sub-tasks. Tasks can be filtered by label, date or priority. A date and time, which can be recurring, can be set for when a task is due.

In March 2013, Todoist introduced "Karma"^[1] - a grading system based on a user's activity.

Todoist is available in 17 languages: English, German, Dutch, Danish, Spanish, French, Portuguese (Brazil), Italian, Norwegian, Swedish, Polish, Russian, Chinese (Traditional), Chinese (Simplified), Japanese, Korean and Hindi.
