Looking for an alternative to Microsoft To Do?Compare Joplin, AppFlowy.Compare alternativesTo Do focuses on personal tasks and shared lists. You can divide a large task into steps, set an expiration date and add reminders. With My day, select the tasks you want to focus on today, without reordering your entire collection. Synchronization makes your lists available on multiple devices via your Microsoft account. It is not a complete project management system with extensive dependencies and planning. For a shopping list, recurring household job or personal work planning, the design remains clear.

For tasks, you can choose a separate task app or save tasks with your notes. Compare reminders, recurring tasks, sharing and retrieval of background information. A checklist in a document is not the same as a complete calendar or project planner.

Who is it for?
You use To Do for personal planning and simple shared lists. It fits especially if you are already working with a Microsoft account and are not looking for an extensive project software.
Getting started
Install the app via the official Microsoft download route or use the web version. Sign in with the account where you want to save your tasks.
Privacy
Synchronized tasks are stored with Microsoft. Check with which personal or work account you are logged in and who has access to a shared list.
Good to know
To Do is intended for task lists and reminders. For extensive project planning, capacity or dependencies between tasks you need other software.
Please note
A reminder depends on notification rights and device settings. Test a notification before relying on it for something you have to do at an exact time.
Advantages
- You can divide tasks into steps.
- You can use memories and repetition.
- You can keep lists on multiple devices.
Things to consider
- Synchronization requires an account.
- The functions are more limited than with project software.
- Notifications depend on your system settings.

Our verdict
To Do is a logical choice for clear task lists within your Microsoft environment. You keep it useful by selectively filling My day and working out big projects elsewhere.
Choose To Do if you want to know what needs to happen and when you want to be reminded. A few recognizable lists are often more useful than making each subject a separate project. Check synchronization and notifications with the account you're actually using. If you need complex dependencies or extensive project management, let those requirements outweigh the simplicity of a daily task list.
