Who it's for

Wunderlist was aimed at individuals and small teams who wanted a simple, cross-platform way to manage personal to-do lists and shared task lists.

What you get

Users got task lists with due dates, reminders, subtasks, notes, and file attachments. Lists could be organized into folders and shared with others for collaborative task tracking, with real-time sync across iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, and web. A browser extension and email-to-task feature let users quickly capture items from other apps.

How it works

Users created lists, added tasks with optional due dates and notes, and checked items off as they were completed; shared lists let collaborators add and assign tasks. Wunderlist was acquired by Microsoft in 2015 and shut down in May 2020, with its functionality folded into Microsoft To Do.
