Then again, you can do the same thing in Outlook or Gmail. Built by Ginger Labs, the company behind the popular iPad note-taking app Notability, this email client puts notes and your calendar right in your inbox so you can keep track of incoming messages, tasks and notes, and appointments all in the same space. Twobird offers a more holistic approach to combining these tools. Microsoft Outlook, dating back to the '90s, combined the inbox, task list, and calendar, and Gmail can show a calendar or a task list in the sidebar. It makes sense, then, that so many productivity apps combine email, calendar, and task lists. A good number of incoming messages require at least a response and in most cases some kind of action.

They other killer feature of Todoist for me is the 'every!' way of defining repeat intervals. What still keeps me is the simple way of entering new tasks with natural language processing that is still so much better in Todoist than Reminders. At least I can easily drag and drop a message from Mail to Reminders, and it will open just fine even if I filed it away. Big letdown.Īfter 20 years I recently moved back from Windows to Mac, and I'm close to switching from Outlook/Todoist to Mail/Reminders. In its previous incarnation, no problem, it would just open it from its new position, now it opens the browser tab and shows a blank screen.Įmail triaging used to be simple, create a task from a message, file it away. Clicking on a linked email message no longer goes to the message in Outlook but instead opens Outlook on the web, and heaven forbid you move the message to a different folder after creating the Todoist task. Not sure I buy this because I don't think that the way desktop Outlook handles messages internally has changed.Īnd even if Microsoft is the culprit, that doesn't change the fact that it's all screwed up now. I know the Todoist response is that it's Microsoft that's not supporting it anymore. Yeah, the whole Outlook integration has gone down the sink.
