Good Todo vs Todoist

Good Todo

• Clearing an inbox by forwarding emails into a to-do list
• Planning one day at a time and pushing the rest to later dates

Good Todo

• It runs on the web, iPhone and iPad only, with no Android or desktop app.
• The homepage advertises a 60-day free trial while the terms of use describe a 30-day trial.
• The App Store shows the iOS app's most recent update as version 4.3.3, dated 05/10/2022.

Todoist

• The free plan stops at 5 personal projects and keeps only 1 week of activity history.

• Personal projects are capped at 5 people, even on paid plans.

Good Todo

Todos by email

An email forwarded to a Good Todo address becomes a todo. Addresses such as tomorrow@goodtodo.com file it on a later day, and an email can be sent straight into a category.

A list for each day

Todos sit on the list for a specific date. Redate moves one to another day, and Multi-Redate in the web app moves several at once.

7-day and 30-day views

The web app can show every todo in the next 7 or 30 days under dated headings, and todos can be dragged from one day to another on that page.

Categories and recurring todos

Todos can be grouped into categories with an optional color label, and a todo can recur daily, on weekdays or on chosen days of the week.

iPhone and iPad app

The iOS app syncs with the online account and can create, edit, reorder, redate and search todos, view attachments and email a todo to any address.

Export and files

Todos can be exported from the Preferences page, a recurring email export sends them on a chosen schedule, and a Files page holds attachments and uploads.

Todoist

Quick Add
