Following this keenly. I’m in Wunderlist land because it’s so simple but I need much more.

It looks good but I reckon it’s overkill for most people. I’d use this in a corporate environment or if I was planning a major project like an overseas holiday or home renovation, but for day-to-day tasks and even repeating tasks, the built in reminders app on iOS is really good.

Great review of Todoist here for an alternative : Todoist Review MacStories
