TeuxDeux vs WeekToDo

TeuxDeux

• People who want a to-do list that works like a paper planner
• Planning day by day without alerts or notifications
• Phone-only users, since the iOS and Android apps are free

WeekToDo

• People who want a simple week-at-a-glance task planner
• Privacy-minded users who want their tasks kept on their own device
• Linux, Windows and macOS users looking for a free desktop planner

TeuxDeux

• The web app needs a subscription after the 7-day trial; without one the website reverts to read-only.
• To-dos have no alerts or reminders by design; the only notification is the optional Daily Digest email.
• An internet connection is required to use TeuxDeux.
• Shared lists are read-only for viewers, and the App Store listing is for iPhone only.

WeekToDo

• There is no sync between devices, no cloud copy of the data and no mobile app. Sync and a mobile version are on the project's roadmap.
• The latest release on GitHub, version 2.2.0, is dated February 2024.
• The changelog for version 2.0.0 lists a telemetry system among its additions, while the privacy statement is dated December 2020.
• The download page says the app is not code-signed, so the first launch needs a workaround.

TeuxDeux

A list for every day

To-dos are written on the list for a calendar day and reordered by drag and drop, in a layout meant to feel like a paper to-do list.

Automatic rollover

To-dos that are not finished today move to tomorrow's list on their own, so nothing has to be rescheduled by hand.

Recurring to-dos in plain words

Adding a phrase such as "every weekday" or "every other week" to the end of a to-do makes it repeat. Recurring to-dos can also be edited and sorted from a sidebar.

Someday lists

Undated lists for goals and bucket lists sit below the daily lists and are grouped in tabs. A someday list can be shared through a link, read-only.

Focus mode

A single-column view that shows only the current day's list, with a choice of backgrounds and a timer for a work session.

Daily Digest email

An optional email with the day's to-dos, sent at a time you choose. Replying to the email adds to-dos to that day's list.

WeekToDo

Week calendar and task list in one

The main screen shows the week as columns of days with each day's tasks under it, so planning and the to-do list share a single interface.

Custom to-do lists

Separate lists hold tasks that are not tied to a day, such as projects, and a setting controls how many list columns are shown.

Sub-tasks and Markdown

A task can be broken into sub-tasks, and its description supports Markdown, with links opening in the web browser.

Recurring tasks and reminders

Tasks can repeat, including on chosen weekdays, and a time and an alarm can be set on a task so it raises a notification.

Drag and drop and task colors

Tasks are moved between days and lists by dragging, and each one can be given a color from the task color picker.

Local storage

The privacy statement says all data is saved locally on the device and never sent to the project's server, and no personal data is collected.
