A to-do app has all the work and instructions for the day’s work. It’s routine for each person to check the tasks assigned to them before they start working. We only set those for meetings with external parties in calendar apps. Our team members don’t even use reminders. If reminders are an important part of your workflow, we recommend looking for a free or one-time purchase app instead and there’s plenty to choose from.įrom our experience, reminders are not necessary for a to-do app.

It is, therefore, not a compelling reason to pay a subscription for the app. It’s a free feature (or has no extra cost) in all the GTD apps we’ve covered so far. It’s ridiculous that reminders in Todoist are a paid feature. There are many ways to organise your to-dos that can save you money to avoid the subscription forever. Instead of creating projects for each, you can create just one for all your personal projects, and divide it into those different sections. For example, you might be working on a vacation, building a house, and growing an investment portfolio with your spouse. So, you might not need that many active projects to begin with.

Besides, with the organisation in the app, you can use sections and subtasks to subdivide projects. Should you need more than five projects, simply archive or delete completed ones to make room for new ones. What are the chances you’ll be running more than five projects at once? After testing the free version of Todoist we’ve found five projects are more than enough to use the app for free forever.

Tasks and projectsįor the free version, you get five active projects, which can have up to 300 active tasks per project. Both packages are cheaper when you pay for them annually. The Pro version of Todoist costs $5 per month if you’re an individual, and $8/user/month if you’re a business.
