"Effortless Capture with Ramble & Daily Planning via ChatGPT Pro"

4/5

What do you like best about Todoist?

The natural language processing for task entry and the AI-powered capabilities make Todoist stand out above any other task manager. In particular, I love and frequently use the Ramble feature in the Todoist app — it offers exceptional ease of use. Being able to quickly speak or brain-dump unstructured thoughts and have Ramble turn them directly into organized, actionable tasks removes any barrier to capturing to-dos on the go.

Another game-changer for my workflow is integrating Todoist with ChatGPT Pro. On a daily basis, through this integration, ChatGPT accesses my Todoist and is able to plan my entire day around my pending priorities, deadlines, and schedule. This elevates Todoist far beyond a typical to-do list into an intelligent, proactive daily productivity hub.

On top of that, the cross-platform sync is rock-solid across phone, laptop, and browser. The UI remains blazing fast, distraction-free, and snappy. The custom filters and labels give deep flexibility without the bloat of heavier tools like Notion Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

The free plan has become quite restrictive — limiting users to only 5 active projects feels like an artificial squeeze to push upgrades, especially for students or freelancers managing multiple clients. Basic features like reminders and calendar view are locked behind the Pro paywall, which can feel frustrating since competing apps like TickTick offer some of these for free.

Todoist is not a full project management tool, and that's a gap for teams. There are no native Gantt charts, time-tracking capabilities, or complex dependency mapping. If your workflow requires resource allocation or detailed project timelines, you'll need to pair Todoist with another tool.

The AI features, while promising, still feel somewhat underdeveloped compared to what competitors are offering. The task suggestion and smart scheduling capabilities could be more intelligent and context-aware. Also, the recurring task engine, while powerful, has a learning curve — the natural language syntax isn't always intuitive for complex recurrence patterns like 'every third Wednesday' or 'every other month on the last business day.'

What problems is Todoist solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before Todoist, I struggled with scattered task management — sticky notes, random text files, email flags, and mental notes that inevitably got lost. The biggest problem Todoist solves is giving me a single, reliable inbox to capture every thought, deadline, and commitment the moment it arises. The Ramble feature in the mobile app makes capturing tasks on the fly completely effortless, allowing me to speak my thoughts freely and have them organized into actionable tasks.

The cross-platform availability means I can capture a task on my phone while commuting, refine it on my laptop at work, and check it off from my tablet at home. This has eliminated the 'I forgot about that' problem almost entirely.

One of the most impactful workflows I've built is pairing Todoist with ChatGPT Pro. Every day, ChatGPT connects to my Todoist via the integration and actively plans my day — reviewing pending tasks, priorities, and deadlines to structure a clear, realistic schedule. This AI-driven daily planning workflow has transformed Todoist into an indispensable productivity assistant rather than a static list.

Todoist also solves my recurring task management challenge. Things like weekly reports, monthly bill payments, and daily habits are automatically scheduled and resurfaced without me having to manually re-enter them. Combined with Google Calendar syncing, Todoist gives me clear visibility into my real workload. Overall, it has reduced mental fatigue, prevented missed deadlines, and kept my priorities organized every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
