Why I created my own “to-do list” app
To-do lists. Simplified
Lets cut to the chase. There are millions of “to-do list” apps out there, so why did I create my own? Because I was super frustrated by the feature overload that most of the apps on the market offer. There is also a non-trivial learning curve to each of them. So I decided to create something super simple that does exactly what I wanted. Thus, Taskwillow was born. Check it out!
So what was I looking for in a to-do list app?
Simple — something that would
- Let me RECORD my tasks & GROUP them into categories (that I can customize)
- Allow me to SORT & FILTER tasks by categories or tags
- Let me ACCESS my Outlook account & IMPORT emails from my inbox so I don't forget to respond to emails.
- Let me CREATE LISTS that I can SHARE with another person (BURNING NEED: Sharing a ‘Grocery list’ with my wife, and adding items to it as we recall stuff we’ve run out of. Whoever goes to the store, deletes the items they buy from the shared list so we don't double up on items. )
- Send me PERIODIC REMINDERS of the stuff that I need to get done
That’s it. Oh, and I wanted something that is FREE and is EASY to get started with.
So I created Taskwillow - and it does these few things I mention above really well. Nothing more and nothing less.
Full disclosure: Taskwillow is a web app, that is responsive. No iOS or Android app just yet.
If you have been looking for a todo-list app that is simple, easy to use, FREE and is not full of complicated features — feel free to use Taskwillow.
