`Microsoft To Do` works great as an issues-only repository that syncs well between multiple users and devices, integrates with Outlook (flagging an email automatically imports an issue) and has i.e. excellent native desktop and mobile apps.

Once I started using Microsoft To Do, the way that I ran my life/business scheduling became 10-fold more efficient. Any recurring tasks or issues, be it daily, weekly, annually, can be easily scheduled, tracked, and shown as a badge in your taskbar. It's an incredibly integrated, underdiscovered and maybe undervalued app that Microsoft sort of stealth released.

It is so powerful that I deprecated all my no-code JIRA projects and opt to using it instead of a Calendar in my personal life. Would do the same Calendar delete in my business if only it integrated with Teams/Outlook calendar and meeting bookings.




Isn’t Microsoft To Do built off and based in on their acquisition of Wunderlist? So Wunderlist essentially/mostly made it.

I believe a lot of vocal fans of Wunderlist were upset with how it all went down and didn’t want Microsoft To Do. So there’s lots of internet vocal negativity toward the app possibly.


I think the Microsoft acquisition is maybe the best thing that could have happened to advancing its integration with the other office tools that I use. I’m very happy with it as a consumer (it’s free, but I pay for office)
