Key features
todo.vu
- Tasks tied to clients and projects
- In-house, personal and client tasks share one workspace. A task links to a client, a project, files and team members, and custom labels and kanban dashboards sort the list.
- Time tracking on each task
- A timer starts from the task, or time is logged by hand afterward. Time is recorded against the individual task, not only against the project.
- Billing rates and reports
- Billing rates are set per project and per staff member, time is marked billable or not, and itemized billing reports with fixed charges are shared with clients by link.
- Repeating tasks and calendar sync
- Each occurrence of a recurring task can be changed on its own and has its own reminders. Due dates sync to any iCal-compatible calendar.
- Email-in tasks and client access
- Every workspace has an email address that turns messages and attachments into tasks. Clients can be invited to see only their own work, and contractors limited to set clients.
- API, Zapier and MCP server
- An Add-Task API and a Zapier Zap create tasks from other apps, and a hosted MCP server lets an AI agent manage tasks and log time through OAuth.
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.
