How we grade them
| 3.0GPAmyTinyTodoVery good | 3.2GPAtududiVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | AFree to download under the GNU GPL, extensions included. The only cost is your own hosting, if you don't have some already. The developer takes donations. | Btududi Cloud is €5 a person a month, or €50 a year, before taxes. That's a touch above what paid to-do apps typically start at, and it's one plan with everything: AI day planning, MCP, CalDAV, daily backups and 5 GB. The €50 yearly price is labelled early bird, so don't count on it staying. |
| Free plan and trial | AThe full script is free, with no paid version and nothing held back. It's been going since 2009, with a release as recent as September 2026. | BFree only if you host it: the whole application, with no seat limits, on a server you run, update and back up. tududi Cloud has no free plan, just a 14-day trial with no card. Don't subscribe and the account goes read-only for 30 days, then it's deleted. |
| Features | BLists in tabs, tags, due dates, four priority levels, Markdown notes, and a one-line syntax that sets them as you type. Lists can be published read-only, followed by RSS or exported to CSV and iCalendar. Protection is one shared password, not separate accounts. | AAreas and goals down to projects, tasks and subtasks, with notes and habits alongside. One Add box reads "next fri" or "every first monday". The planner places tasks in the free time between meetings, and there's an Eisenhower matrix, Kanban, saved views and an MCP server with 59 tools. |
| Ease of use | DYou have to host it yourself. That means a web server with PHP and a MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite database before you add your first task. Fine if you already run a website, a wall if you don't. | BOn Cloud it's hosted for you: sign up and type into one box. The free route is another story, with Docker, a reverse proxy, TLS, updates and backups all yours. There's no rating on record to go by, so a B. |
| Platforms and integrations | BIt's a web page, so it opens on anything with a modern browser, phones included. Extensions add notifications by e-mail and Telegram, and lists come out as RSS, CSV or iCalendar. There are no native mobile or desktop apps. | BIt runs in a browser and installs as a PWA, with no native mobile or desktop apps. It connects well, though: two-way CalDAV with Apple Reminders, tasks.org and Thunderbird, a Telegram bot, a REST API and read-only Google, Apple and Outlook calendar feeds. |

Worth knowing
myTinyTodo
- It must be self-hosted: the site offers a download and a demo, and setup needs a web server with PHP and a MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite database.
- There are no native mobile or desktop apps; phones use the same responsive web page.
- Protection is a single password set in settings rather than separate accounts for each person.
- Internet Explorer and the Presto-based Opera are not supported.
tududi
- tududi Cloud has no free plan. After the 14-day trial, an account without a subscription turns read-only for 30 days and is then deleted.
- There are no native mobile or desktop apps: tududi runs in a browser and can be installed as a PWA.
- Cloud prices are listed in euros and exclude taxes, and the €50 yearly price is labelled an early-bird rate.
- The free option is self-hosting, which means running Docker, a reverse proxy, TLS, updates and backups yourself.
Key features
myTinyTodo
- Multiple lists in tabs
- Each list is a tab with its own URL. Tabs can be reordered or hidden, and a special tab shows the tasks from every list together.
- Smart syntax
- A task typed as "+1 Task #Tag1 #Tag2 @monday" is created with its priority, tags and due date already set. Due dates accept forms such as @1d or @25.12.
- Tags, priorities and sorting
- Tasks take tags, due dates and a priority from -1 to +2. A tag cloud filters the list, search finds tasks, and sorting includes manual drag-and-drop and reverse order.
- Notes with Markdown
- Each task can carry a note, and notes support Markdown syntax, including #NUMBER links to other tasks by id. Markdown can be turned off in settings.
- Publishing, feeds and export
- A list can be published for read-only viewing, followed as an RSS feed, or exported to CSV and iCalendar. A password in settings keeps others from changing tasks.
- Extensions
- Extensions listed in the changelog add notifications by e-mail and Telegram, backups to XML with restore, an updater and custom CSS.
tududi
- One Add box with plain-language dates
- A single box adds inbox items, tasks, notes or projects. Phrases such as "next fri" or "every first monday" set the date or repeat, and #tags, +Project and @person are read as you type.
- Plan my day around your calendar
- The planner ranks what could fit today and places tasks in the free time between meetings from read-only Google, Apple or Outlook calendar feeds. AI can draft the whole day.
- Areas, goals, projects and habits
- Goals and areas sit at the top and contain projects, which contain tasks and subtasks. Notes are kept alongside, and habits are tracked with streaks and a completion history.
- Eisenhower matrix, Kanban and saved views
- Tasks can be shown as an Eisenhower matrix or a Kanban board, and saved searches such as Today, Overdue or Someday reopen a filter in one click.
- MCP server and optional AI assistant
- A built-in MCP server exposes 59 tools to agents such as Claude Desktop or Cursor. A separate, opt-in AI assistant works with any OpenAI-compatible provider, including local ones like Ollama.
- CalDAV, Telegram and API
- Tasks sync both ways over CalDAV with Apple Reminders, tasks.org and Thunderbird. A Telegram bot captures tasks and sends daily digests, and a REST API uses personal access tokens.
