"Todoist Makes Day-to-Day Development Tasks Easy and Organized"

4/5

What do you like best about Todoist?

I use Todoist to manage smaller tasks that can easily get lost during a busy development cycle. I like how quickly I can add tasks using simple natural language, set due dates, assign priorities, and organize everything into different projects. I also rely on recurring tasks for routine activities like checking deployment status, reviewing pending PRs, and following up on unresolved bugs.

Labels and filters make it easier to separate urgent fixes from regular development work, so I can stay focused on what matters most. I especially appreciate the clean interface, because it helps me see at a glance what needs attention first and what’s already completed. Overall, Todoist feels very user-friendly and makes managing day-to-day development activities much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Todoist?

Todoist works well for personal task management, but it isn’t a full project management solution for software development teams. For team workflows, features such as detailed task dependencies, sprint tracking, and technical issue management are better handled in specialized tools like Jira.

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

One common challenge in development is keeping track of all the small follow-up activities while switching between coding, debugging, code reviews, and meetings. Not every item needs to become a Jira ticket, but forgetting these smaller tasks can still slow things down and delay work.

Todoist gives me a single place to capture them as they come up. For example, after fixing a Laravel API issue, I’ll add follow-ups like testing invalid payloads, verifying the response in Postman, checking production logs, and confirming the fix with QA.

I can also assign priorities and deadlines so it’s clear what needs attention first. Another benefit shows up during the annual appraisal cycle: I can look back at my completed tasks and project activities to remember what I handled throughout the year, including bug fixes, feature development, improvements, and other contributions. That makes it much easier to prepare my annual work summary and talk through my accomplishments during performance reviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
