AgenToDo vs Todoist

AgenToDo

• Mac users who follow Getting Things Done and want a guided weekly review
• People who would rather describe a change in a sentence than click through menus
• People moving from OmniFocus, whose keyboard model the app borrows
• Anyone who wants tasks kept in their own iCloud and off the vendor's servers

Todoist

• People who want one task list on every device they own
• Fast capture: typing a task with its date in a single line
• Households and small teams sharing a few projects

AgenToDo

• Mac only: the site requires macOS 26 (Tahoe) on Apple silicon and says there is no Windows, Android or web version.
• The AI features spend Setapp AI credits. Setapp plans include a monthly allowance, and extra credits are a monthly add-on from $17.99 for 15,000.
• The site's only download route is Setapp, MacPaw's own app store, and the AI features need a Setapp account.
• No iPhone or iPad app is listed on the vendor's site; in an August 2026 reply on its Setapp listing the developer said one was in testing.

Todoist

• The free plan stops at 5 personal projects and keeps only 1 week of activity history.
• Calendar layout, task durations and custom reminders all need Pro or Business.
• Personal projects are capped at 5 people, even on paid plans.

AgenToDo

AI command bar

A request typed or spoken in plain language becomes a set of proposed changes shown as a preview. Nothing is applied until it is approved, and one sentence can carry several changes.

GTD structure and eleven views

Inbox, Today, Forecast, Flagged, Waiting On, Review and five more built-in views, with sequential, parallel and single-action projects, folders and nested tags.

Calendar and time blocking

Events from the Mac's calendars appear beside tasks in day, week and month views. Tasks can be dragged onto time slots, and a commitment meter shows when a day is overbooked.

Quick Entry and smart parsing

A global shortcut opens a capture window from any app. The title field picks out flags, tags, projects, people, estimates, dates and repeats, in English and Ukrainian.

iCloud sync and shared projects

Data sits in a local database and syncs through the user's own iCloud. A project can be shared with edit or view-only access, with an activity feed and task assignment.

Automation and command line

Siri, Apple Shortcuts, Spotlight indexing, interactive desktop widgets and a bundled command-line tool are included. Read.ai can pass meeting action items in for review.

Todoist

Quick Add

Capture tasks in natural language as they come to you, including recurring due dates and reminders.

List, board and calendar layouts

Switch any project between a list, a kanban board and a calendar. The calendar layout needs a paid plan.

Filters, labels and priorities

Saved filter views pull tasks from across projects: 3 on the free plan, 150 on Pro and Business.

Shared projects

Share a project to assign tasks and comment on them. Personal projects allow up to 5 people on every plan.

Team workspace

Business adds public and private team projects, folders, roles and permissions, and shared templates.

Ramble and Task Assist

Ramble turns spoken thoughts into tasks; free accounts get limited sessions. Task Assist is included from Pro.
