Organizer as a Todoist alternative

Todoist is a very good list. Lists are the right shape for capture and the wrong shape for seeing where work actually stands, which is usually why people start looking around: they want stages, not just a due date, and they want the list to sit next to the calendar and documents it relates to.

You can bring your tasks with you

Unlike most switches, this one has a real import path. Organizer imports your Todoist tasks with an API token, and each imported task remembers where it came from so you can filter your board by source while you settle in. The token is stored locally in your browser and is never sent to our servers.

That also means you do not have to commit up front. Import, run both for a week, and keep whichever one you actually open.

What changes when a list becomes a board

Stages instead of just status

To Do, In Progress and Done, plus up to five custom columns on Premium, so blocked or in review is a place rather than a label.

The day, not just the list

A month calendar showing dated tasks next to real meetings, with two-way Google Calendar and Microsoft 365 sync on Premium.

Documents in the same place

An editor with tables, checklists and code blocks, plus file storage and share links, so the task and its brief are one click apart.

It is already open

Organizer replaces your browser new tab, so checking your work is not a decision you have to make.

AI over your own content

Ask questions across your tasks, documents, files and Notion pages, with citations back to the source.

Insights

Charts of completion trends, where tasks come from, streaks and your busiest days, built from your own data.

What carries over unchanged

The habits that make a list work are still here: quick capture with natural typing, recurring tasks, priorities, due dates and times, categories and tags, one search box across everything, a command palette on Cmd or Ctrl plus K, and reminders before something is due.

Where Todoist is still the better answer

Native mobile apps: Organizer runs on phones through the browser, not as an installed iOS or Android app.
Shared projects with delegated tasks: Organizer is built around your own workspace rather than assigning work to teammates.
A long tail of third-party integrations built up over many years.

What it costs

Free covers one board with unlimited tasks and sticky notes, 20 quick links, 50 MB of storage, the calendar view, recurring tasks, reminders and cross-device sync. Premium is $4.29 a month with a 3-day free trial, or $39.99 a year paid once with no auto-renewal, and includes the Todoist import, calendar sync, multiple boards, AI and 2 GB of storage.
