You could use #High, #Medium, #Low or #A, #B, #C. But then there’s also tags, which can be literally anything. You can also assign tasks a priority in a number of ways. You can view your tasks by week, or see all your tasks on one screen. The layout is attractive and you can customize the backgrounds. Here's a handy chart for comparing the options at a glance:īut before we get further into the alternatives, let’s talk about Wunderlist - for comparison, and old time’s, sake. (I’ll also let you know which I chose at the end.) I’ve listed the five incredible free Wunderlist alternatives in descending order based on average app store review score, or alphabetically when the score is the same.

Every other feature I mention in this piece is available to users of the free version of the app. That’s why I’ve noted which features are behind an upgrade. One of the biggest problems with software comparison pieces is that it’s tough to know which features are available at the free level. Each option also supports Apple Watch, iPad, and Android tablets.Įvery app in this list also has the following task manager functionality: In addition, it must offer a free version, have up-to-date native apps for iOS and Android that have reviews of 4.0 or better in the stores. To be included, each app must be able to import your lists from Wunderlist. I narrowed a list of ten or so free task management apps down to the top five. There are four other excellent contenders vying to manage our precious to-do lists. Personally, I’ve disliked Microsoft since having to use Outlook in 2008 at my first desk job. So, where are we going next, comrades? Microsoft wants us to migrate to their task manager, Microsoft To Do. I’ve managed my to-do list with Wunderlist since 2014.

This piece is, shall we say, personal for me. That’s when users stopped being able to update or edit lists or tasks.

Microsoft bought Wunderlist and shut it down on May 6, 2020.
