I’ve been searching for a good online task manager for a while. I checked the various 37signals services, including Ta-Da List, which are all great services. I used the excellent Remember The Milk for a while. I even tried using Google Notebook for to-do lists and a task manager. I finally settled on Todoist, which was created by Danish developer Amir Salihefendic earlier this year.
Todoist is fast, simple and elegant. It has most of the features I’ve been looking for and they are always adding new stuff. I’m now hooked and use it constantly to stay organized, including the mobile version of Todoist, which works great on my iPhone. In fact I like Todoist so much I’ve even upgraded to their premium version.
Some favorite Todoist features are its super streamlined and easy to navigate interface which has just the right amount of AJAX functionality, keyboard shortcuts, date insertion & queries and reminders via IM and Twitter. Plus they have an open API allowing for the development of things like the Todoist widgets.

I was using todoist a while back when I was trying out several productivity apps but drifted away from using it in favor of a Did Done list just run off my personbal wiki. Looks like they added some nice features — I might try it again. Though frankly I’m kinda waiting till someone puts together a good non-web-based iPhone to do list app that syncs.
awesome! I have used a number of to-do list apps & sites as well. For a long time, To Do X & then more recently (so that I could have it on my iPhone) I switched to Tadalist… but I have missed the sub-list like To Do X had, and I love that this also has reminders & such! I’m stoked. Thanks Scott!
I’ve been using TadaLists for a long time, but if this does sublisting right, I may end up switching. I’ve really been looking for something I can use to organize multistage projects. Thanks Scott!
Awesome, Nozbe’s interface was killing me!!
Thanks for sharing your research.. just signed up.
I started a Google Group for Todoist.com users. The group fills the gap left by the understandable decision of the developers to give support only to paid users. But it also permits easy sharing of power-user tips, feature requests, bug reports, kudos, and more. Check it out and please spread the word: http://groups.google.com/group/todoists
