- **Reminders (time & location)** — 6 of 19 apps with a verified answer have this

## Overview

- **Who it's for**: Individuals and teams who want to manage personal to-dos, projects, or team task coordination across multiple devices, from casual list-makers to professionals organizing work with recurring deadlines.
- **What you get**: A task manager where you capture to-dos using natural-language input, organize them into projects and sub-projects with labels, priorities, and filters, and schedule due dates, recurring tasks, and reminders. It syncs across web, desktop, and mobile apps, supports shared projects for team collaboration, and integrates with tools like Google Calendar, Slack, and email. Optional AI features (Todoist Assist) help break down tasks into subtasks and plans.
- **How it works**: You add a task by typing it in plain language (e.g., "Submit report Friday 3pm"), which Todoist parses into a due date and project; tasks are then grouped into projects/sections, tagged with labels, and checked off as completed, with progress optionally tracked via the Karma point system.
