It does everything I need, it does not get in my way, and the adaptation time was short. The tool is not perfect, but what I particularly like is the low friction, at least in my workflow. To be fair I could not find the free trial option on the Todoist's website, but I received an invitation shortly after creating an account.Īs you can guess from the title of this post, my preference has fallen on Todoist.

Two weeks are just right to get your hands dirty on a similar tool, and one month is perfect. Toodledo gives you two weeks, while Todoist gives you an entire month. I also found a couple of interesting new tools, based on Evernote, but I do not want to pollute my Evernote account with hundreds of to-do items.Īsana is free unless you have a big team, and both Toodledo and Todoist have a free version and offer you a trial for their respective premium versions (similarly priced).

Mostly, I played with Asana, Toodledo, and Todoist. I decided to do this exercise with an open mind, and try tools which I previously discarded for lack of what I used to consider basic functionality (i.e. So, I decided to have a quick look at the evolution of the various platforms since last time I looked at them. I still miss OmniFocus sometimes (less and less to be honest), but I need more and more a Windows compatible tool, as at work I am stuck on a Windows machine.

Agenda views are static, and it can be a lot of work to set up the perfect views for your workflow.

Complexity of the configuration: elisp is a powerful language, Emacs allows you to customize absolutely everything, but when you start to use org on a bunch of machines, requiring different configurations, and you end up having to use git to synchronize them (see theses old posts to understand why I had to do that), it can become tricky to get the config right.

No notifications: this is not a deal breaker for me, as I spend enough time in the tool, but time and location based notifications are handy.

The iOS workflows that I posted in the previous posts rely on a working network connection, and I found them not completely reliable. On top of that, you need Emacs running somewhere for the sync to happen. Unfortunately at the moment I do not have the time to contribute to the project, and the tool is limited.

Limited functionality of MobileOrg: this is by far the main reason why I started looking for alternatives.

Still, I am moving away, at least for a while. Over the few months, I have been happy with org-mode, combining an incredible flexibility with the reliability of a plain text file in a Source Control System, and with the raw power of Emacs under the hood.
