Best European Alternatives to Todoist
Looking for a European alternative to Todoist? Todoist Inc. is a Delaware company, its terms are governed by Delaware law, and its privacy policy says your information is processed in the United States.
No European tool is an exact copy, but twelve cover the job in different ways: personal to-do apps, a calendar planner, and tools for shared lists and boards, from companies in Germany, Poland, Switzerland, Latvia, Greece and Sweden.
How we rank these tools — 4-step process
-
1
European ownership, verified
The company is headquartered and incorporated in the EU, EEA or Switzerland, and processes customer data in Europe. A US parent company disqualifies a tool from this page regardless of where its servers are.
-
2
Category fit and hands-on review
What the tool actually does, who it suits, and where it falls short — checked against the vendor’s own documentation, changelog and pricing page rather than its marketing copy.
-
3
Compliance and pricing check
GDPR posture, hosting location and the prices quoted on this page are verified against the vendor’s public pricing before publication, and re-checked when we revisit the category.
-
4
Position on this page
Placement on this page can be paid, and that can affect which tools appear here and the order they appear in. It never buys a good review: a tool that fails the checks above is not here at any price, and payment does not change the shortcomings we write about. A vendor can ask us to correct a factual error — not to remove a criticism.
Vendors can pay for visibility on this page. It never changes what an entry says about a product, including the criticism, and we earn nothing when you click through to a vendor. Paid placement can affect which tools appear here and the order they appear in. Editorial policy

- Twelve European tools are listed: seven from Germany, and one each from Poland, Switzerland, Latvia, Greece and Sweden.
- Nozbe (Gdynia) is the closest in spirit: projects, tasks and teams on every platform, with a free plan limited to three active projects.
- Things is the most polished personal task manager here, but it runs on Apple devices only and has no free tier.
- Vikunja, Super Productivity and tududi are open source (AGPLv3, MIT and MIT) and can be self-hosted at no cost.
- Ommiq is a free, personal to-do list from a one-person Berlin project online since December 2025; it has no sharing or integrations.
Why people leave Todoist
Todoist is the to-do app most people mean when they say they want a to-do app. Quick add understands dates typed in plain words, the apps are polished on every platform, and the free plan works for a single person. Nobody leaves it because it is bad at the job.
They leave over where it sits. Todoist Inc. is a Delaware company, its terms are governed by the laws of Delaware with the courts in Wilmington, and its privacy policy says your information is processed by employees and service providers in the United States, with transfers from the EEA resting on standard contractual clauses. A task list is small data, but it is also a diary of your week.
This is a broad market with no exact European copy, so this page lists twelve tools of three kinds: personal to-do apps, a calendar planner, and tools built around shared lists and boards. Each entry says what it leaves out.
- Your task list is processed in the United States Todoist's privacy policy states that information is processed by its employees and service providers in the U.S., and that transfers from the EEA and the UK rely on Standard Contractual Clauses. The company is a Delaware corporation, so US legal process reaches it wherever the servers are. If your tasks hold client names or anything you would not hand to a stranger, that is the part to weigh.
- Third-party AI vendors are in the policy The privacy policy says Todoist may use third-party vendors, including artificial intelligence tools, in connection with the service, and its pricing page sells assistant features (Todoist Assist, with limited sessions on the free plan). That is a normal product direction, but it means more parties between you and your list. Ommiq says outright that nothing you type goes to an AI provider, while some others here, such as Superlist and Morgen, lean on AI themselves, so check each one.
- The useful limits sit behind the paid plan Todoist's free plan allows five personal projects and one week of activity history, with uploads capped at 5 MB, while the paid plans lift those limits (300 projects, 100 MB uploads). European tools here take different routes: Super Productivity and Vikunja (self-hosted) are free with no limits, Ommiq's core app is free, and Nozbe, Superlist, Tweek and KanbanFlow have free tiers with their own ceilings.
- A big integration catalogue is the hard thing to replace Todoist advertises more than 90 integrations, and no tool on this page matches that. Several skip integrations by design. If your list is wired into calendars, email and automation tools, switching means rebuilding those links, or keeping the tools that matter, such as Morgen, which can still pull Todoist tasks onto a Swiss-hosted calendar.
What you have to replace, not just match
Start by asking which kind of Todoist user you are, because the three kinds of tool here answer differently. If you keep a personal list and plan your day, Things, Structured, Tweek, Super Productivity, tududi and Ommiq are the right shape. If you plan around a calendar, Morgen is.
If you share projects with other people, look at Nozbe, Superlist, Vikunja, MeisterTask or KanbanFlow, which all have team features. Be honest about what you use: if it is quick add, due dates and a Today list, nearly everything here covers it. If it is 90 integrations and filters you built over years, plan on losing some of that.
The alternatives compared
| Position | Tool | Headquarters | Pricing | Jurisdiction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #3 | Vikunja | Lübeck, Germany | Free self-hosted / €4 per month personal, €5/user/month for an organisation | EU (Germany) |
| #8 | Ommiq | Berlin, Germany | Free core app with no ads or tracking; optional one-time extras from €1.99 to €19.99 (Week view €19.99), no subscription | EU (Germany) |
| #11 | MeisterTask | Munich area, Germany | Free tier / from about €6.50/user/month | EU (Germany) |
How each alternative compares to Todoist
Nozbe
the closest in spirit, from Poland, with teams and every platform
Best for: People who want projects, tasks and sharing in one app on every device
Nozbe is run by NOZBE sp. z o.o. from Gdynia, entered in the Polish court register, and says it has been building its productivity system since 2007. It has apps for Mac, Windows, Android, iPad and iPhone, and they work offline, so it replaces Todoist on every device you are likely to own.
Its free plan covers one space, three active projects and three members, which is enough to test the sharing but tight for long-term use. Premium starts at $6 per member per month on yearly billing ($7.50 monthly), and Business at $9 ($11.25 monthly).
It is built around teams as much as personal lists, so it is heavier than a plain to-do app. Its data processing agreement commits it not to transfer personal data outside the EEA unless the destination is adequate or safeguards apply.
What Nozbe does better than Todoist
- Polish company under EU law, where Todoist is a Delaware company
- A data processing agreement that restricts transfers outside the EEA
- Projects, tasks and sharing with a free plan to try them
- Native apps for Mac, Windows, Android, iPad and iPhone that work offline
Where Nozbe is a step down from Todoist
- The free plan stops at three active projects and three members
- Heavier than a quick personal list, with workspace concepts to learn
- Prices are listed in US dollars
- No integration catalogue to match Todoist's 90 or more
Standout against Todoist. It is the one European tool here that pairs a long track record, shared projects and apps on every platform.
Things
the most polished personal task manager, Apple devices only
Best for: People on Mac and iPhone who want a beautiful, calm personal list
Things is made by Cultured Code GmbH & Co. KG in Stuttgart, entered in the Stuttgart commercial register, a company that says it has twelve people. It runs on Mac, iPad, iPhone, Apple Watch and Apple Vision Pro, and syncs through its own Things Cloud.
Its structure is Today, This Evening, Upcoming and Someday lists, projects with headings, and calendar events shown above your Today list, with natural date input to schedule quickly. It is a personal tool: we found no sharing or team features on its pages.
It is sold as a paid app through the App Store, with the price set in US dollars (the iPhone version was listed at $9.99 on the US store when we checked), and there is no free plan. That is the trade for a product with no ads and no upsell.
What Things does better than Todoist
- German company in Stuttgart, where Todoist is a Delaware company
- A calm Today, This Evening and Upcoming structure with headings in projects
- Calendar events shown above your Today list
- Paid app with no ads, instead of a subscription funnel
Where Things is a step down from Todoist
- Runs on Apple devices only: no Windows, Android or web app
- No free plan found, and its site lists a separate price for each platform
- No sharing or team features found on its pages
- Sync runs through Things Cloud, and we could not verify where it is hosted
Standout against Todoist. It is the best-known polished personal list from a European maker, in exchange for living entirely in Apple's world.
- Which law reaches it. EU (Germany). Todoist is run from the United States, so the CLOUD Act obliges the provider to hand over data on a valid order regardless of which country the servers are in.
- Where the data sits. EU for the hosted version, or wherever you run it.
- Source code. Open source, where Todoist is not: you can read what it does rather than take the description on trust.
Best for: People and small teams who want to own the server
Vikunja is AGPLv3 task management run by Konrad Langenberg Software, a sole proprietorship in Lübeck. It has lists, kanban, gantt and calendar views, labels, filters and a documented API, and you can host it yourself at no cost with no seat limit.
If you would rather not run a server, the hosted plans are Personal at €4 per month or €40 a year, Family at €10 per month for up to five users, and Organization at €5 per user per month, each with a 14-day free trial.
It is plainer than Todoist and has fewer polished touches, and its single-person operator is a continuity question to ask before relying on it. Because the code is open, the project survives regardless of the company.
What Vikunja does better than Todoist
- Open source (AGPLv3), so the code can be read and the server is yours
- Free to self-host with no seat or project limit
- Hosted plans in euros, with a family plan for five
- A documented API, in a German-run service
Where Vikunja is a step down from Todoist
- A sole proprietorship rather than a company, which is a continuity question
- Fewer integrations and less polish than Todoist
- Self-hosting means you own upgrades and backups
- No free hosted plan, only a 14-day trial
Standout against Todoist. It is the only tool here you can run with no provider at all, for any team size, without paying anyone.
Superlist
a Berlin list app for tasks and notes, with AI on the paid plans
Best for: People who want tasks and notes together and are fine with AI features
Superlist is run by Superlist Software GmbH in Berlin under German law, and its homepage says it comes from the creators of Wunderlist, which is the company's own claim. It combines tasks, priorities and notes, and is available on macOS, iOS, Android and the web.
The free plan allows up to five private and shared lists, with up to five people in shared lists and unlimited tasks and notes. Basic is $5 per person per month ($59 a year) and adds unlimited lists and integrations; Super is $21 per person per month ($249 a year) and adds unlimited AI meeting notes and AI chat.
It leans on AI for voice capture and summaries, which means more data going to AI processors. We could not verify where it hosts, so check that before storing anything sensitive.
What Superlist does better than Todoist
- German company under German law, where Todoist is a Delaware company
- Tasks and notes in one workspace
- A free plan with unlimited tasks and notes
- Voice capture and meeting notes on paid plans, if you want them
Where Superlist is a step down from Todoist
- The free plan stops at five lists
- AI features mean more processors in the chain, and its hosting location is not stated where we looked
- No Windows app listed on its pricing page
- Prices are in US dollars, and the top plan is steep at $21 per person per month
Standout against Todoist. It is the most modern-feeling list app here, built by a Berlin team, in exchange for leaning on AI.
Structured
a day planner that lays tasks on a timeline
Best for: People who plan by time of day rather than by project
Structured is made by unorderly GmbH in Berlin (Amtsgericht Charlottenburg, HRB 245195 B). It puts your tasks and calendar events on a single visual timeline for the day, with weekly and monthly views, and runs on iPhone and Mac with a web app.
It is free to download and start, with a Pro subscription above that. We could not verify the Pro price, because the pricing answers on its site load client-side, so check the App Store or its site before you commit.
It is a planner first and a to-do list second. If you think in projects, labels and filters the way Todoist users often do, the timeline model will feel like a different tool. It is a personal app with a team plan on its site that we did not check.
What Structured does better than Todoist
- Berlin company under German law, where Todoist is a Delaware company
- A timeline view that shows when each task fits into the day
- Free to download and try on iPhone and Mac
- Calendar events and tasks on one screen
Where Structured is a step down from Todoist
- A day planner rather than a project and label system
- The Pro price could not be verified from its site
- Apple-first, with a web app but no Windows or Android app we confirmed
- No integration catalogue to match Todoist
Standout against Todoist. It is the tool here that treats a task as a block of time on your day, not an item on a list.
Super Productivity
a free, open-source planner with a time tracker, from Berlin
Best for: People who want a free, local-first planner with timers and issue imports
Super Productivity is an MIT-licensed task app by Johannes Millan, named in the Berlin imprint as the responsible person, with no company behind it. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS and the web, needs no account and works offline.
It combines tasks, subtasks, tags, projects and repeating tasks with time tracking, a Pomodoro timer and a schedule view, and can pull issues from GitHub, GitLab and Jira into your day. Sync is optional, through Super Sync, WebDAV or Dropbox.
The pricing page says it is 100% free, with no premium tiers. That makes it an excellent trade if you can live without a hosted service, a polished team layer and Todoist-style integrations, and if you are comfortable relying on one maintainer.
What Super Productivity does better than Todoist
- Free and open source (MIT), with no premium tiers
- Works offline and without an account, so the data stays on your device
- Built-in time tracking and a Pomodoro timer
- Apps for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS and the web
Where Super Productivity is a step down from Todoist
- A one-person project with no company, which is a continuity question
- No shared projects or comments found on its pages
- Sync is something you set up yourself, with Super Sync, WebDAV or Dropbox
- A busier interface than a plain to-do list
Standout against Todoist. It is the only entry here that is free, open source, runs on every platform and tracks your time as well as your tasks.
Morgen
a Swiss calendar planner that pulls your tasks into your day
Best for: People who plan their day around a calendar and keep tasks in several tools
Morgen is made by Morgen AG, a Swiss company with the UID CHE-216.439.443. Its pricing page calls it Swiss-hosted and GDPR compliant, and Switzerland has an EU adequacy decision rather than being inside the EU. It brings calendars and tasks into one view and can schedule tasks from Notion, ClickUp, Linear and Todoist.
It has an AI Planner that proposes a plan for your day, which you accept or change, and apps for Windows, macOS, Linux, mobile and the browser. Pricing is $15 per month billed yearly or $30 monthly, after a free trial, and we found no free plan.
It is a day planner that sits on top of your tasks, not a plain to-do app, and it costs more than most tools here. For someone who wants to leave Todoist entirely, it is a different shape of tool.
What Morgen does better than Todoist
- Swiss company, where Todoist is a Delaware company, with Swiss hosting stated on its pricing page
- Calendar and tasks in one view, with time-blocking
- Can still pull Todoist tasks in, so you can migrate gradually
- Apps for Windows, macOS, Linux, mobile and the browser
Where Morgen is a step down from Todoist
- No free plan found, after a free trial
- At $15 per month billed yearly, it costs more than most tools here
- Outside the EU, though under a Swiss adequacy decision
- A planner on top of tasks rather than a stand-alone to-do list
Standout against Todoist. It is the only one here built around the calendar, and it can show tasks from Todoist itself.
- Which law reaches it. EU (Germany). Todoist is run from the United States, so the CLOUD Act obliges the provider to hand over data on a valid order regardless of which country the servers are in.
- Where the data sits. Frankfurt am Main, Germany (Hostinger server, moving to Hetzner in 2027); payments via Mollie (Netherlands), account email via Proton (Switzerland).
- Source code. Closed source, as Todoist is.
Best for: One person who wants a plain, free to-do list hosted in Germany
Ommiq is a to-do list and day planner run by Dennis Peld as a sole proprietorship in Berlin, and its own About page says it has been online since December 2025. It is a listing we added for free, with no paid placement, and it sits at #8 on this page.
It does the daily list well enough. Press Q and type "buy milk tomorrow 3pm #groceries", and it files the task with a date, time and category. It has subtasks, recurring tasks, Inbox, Today and Scheduled views, search, a trash with restore, and a Todoist import that brings titles, due dates and subtasks across.
The core is free with no ads or tracking, and a few optional extras are one-time purchases, such as a week view at €19.99. It runs on a server in Frankfurt, with Mollie in the Netherlands for payments and Proton in Switzerland for email. It has no sharing, no integrations and no app store apps, so it is a personal list only.
What Ommiq does better than Todoist
- Free core app with no ads and no tracking, where Todoist limits projects on its free plan
- German operator and law, with a Frankfurt server
- Natural-language quick add and a built-in Todoist import
- One-time purchases for extras, with no subscription
Where Ommiq is a step down from Todoist
- One person, online only since December 2025, so little track record
- No shared projects, comments, assignments or integrations
- A web app that installs as a PWA, with no app store apps
- Closed source, so its privacy claims cannot be checked in the code
Standout against Todoist. It is the simplest and cheapest entry here, and says plainly that it is not a team tool.
Tweek
a minimal weekly planner from Latvia, paper-like and simple
Best for: People who like to plan the week on one page
Tweek is run by Scada SIA from Riga, Latvia, which its privacy policy names as the data controller. It is a minimal weekly planner and to-do list, with week, month and day views, and a paper-like design that keeps the screen quiet.
There is a free version. Premium is $5.99 per month or $49.99 per year, with a Family plan at $9.99 per month, and its pricing page lists calendar sync (Google, Outlook and Apple), subtasks, reminders and recurring tasks as Premium features, which its pricing page lists as Premium features and which a Todoist user tends to rely on.
It has apps for Mac and iPad, among others. It is a personal planner with link sharing rather than a team tool, and its website uses Google Analytics, according to its own privacy policy.
What Tweek does better than Todoist
- Latvian company under EU law, where Todoist is a Delaware company
- A quiet weekly page that suits planning by week
- A free version to try before paying
- A Family plan that gives up to four people their own Premium
Where Tweek is a step down from Todoist
- Subtasks, reminders, recurring tasks and calendar sync are listed as Premium features
- No team features beyond link sharing
- Prices are in US dollars
- Its website uses Google Analytics, according to its privacy policy
Standout against Todoist. It is the one here built around the week rather than the list, in a deliberately paper-like design.
tududi
open-source goals, projects and tasks, self-hosted or rented from Greece
Best for: Self-hosters who want areas, projects and habits in one system
tududi is an MIT-licensed task system. Its hosted Cloud is run by Chris Veleris, an individual in Greece, under Greek law, and you can also host the software yourself. It organises goals, areas, projects, tasks, notes and habits, with an add box that reads dates, repeats, tags and projects as you type.
Cloud costs €5 per month or €50 per year at the early-bird price, there is no free tier for Cloud, and self-hosting is free with a full feature set. It plans your day around connected calendars, and offers an optional AI assistant that works with any OpenAI-compatible provider, including self-hosted ones.
The operator is a single individual. Cloud's privacy policy lists Vultr, Lemon Squeezy and Resend as processors, some outside the EEA, so its Cloud is not a pure-EU stack. Self-hosting removes that question.
What tududi does better than Todoist
- Open source (MIT), with a free self-hosted option
- Goals, areas, projects and habits in one system
- Greek operator and law, with a data export and a self-host migration guide if Cloud shuts down
- Plans your day around calendars, with optional AI you can point at your own model
Where tududi is a step down from Todoist
- No free tier for the hosted Cloud
- An individual operator, and a Cloud that uses providers outside the EEA
- Self-hosting means you own updates, backups and TLS
- Much younger and less proven than Todoist
Standout against Todoist. It is the only entry here that combines goals, projects, notes and habits with a free self-hosted option.
- Which law reaches it. EU (Germany). Todoist is run from the United States, so the CLOUD Act obliges the provider to hand over data on a valid order regardless of which country the servers are in.
- Where the data sits. Germany (Frankfurt).
- Source code. Closed source, as Todoist is.
- Independently checked. ISO 27001, GDPR, CCPA.
Best for: Teams that think in boards and want an established German vendor
MeisterTask is made by MeisterLabs GmbH, near Munich (Amtsgericht Munich HRB 161267), and this directory ranks it first among European project management tools, with ISO 27001 certification and hosting in Frankfurt according to its category review. It is a Kanban-first tool with checklists, comments and time tracking.
The free plan is €0 forever with unlimited tasks and up to three projects. As listed on its pricing page, Pro is €12.50 per user per month and Business is €24, with timeline views and team overviews on the higher plans.
It is built for teams, so a single person who just wants quick add and a Today list will find it heavy, and it costs more per user than most tools here. It is the choice if your Todoist projects have turned into shared boards.
What MeisterTask does better than Todoist
- German company with ISO 27001 and Frankfurt hosting, according to its category review
- Kanban boards, comments and time tracking built for teams
- A free plan with unlimited tasks
- Established vendor with a long track record
Where MeisterTask is a step down from Todoist
- Free plan stops at three projects
- Business at €24 per user per month is the dearest plan on this page
- Heavier than a personal to-do list
- No natural-language quick add that we verified
Standout against Todoist. It is the established German answer for teams whose Todoist lists have turned into shared boards.
KanbanFlow
a Swedish Kanban board with a Pomodoro timer and a long free tier
Best for: People who like Kanban boards and want a free tier without a time limit
KanbanFlow is run by CodeKick AB in Gothenburg, Sweden (Bolagsverket 5568331580), which says it launched the service in 2011. It is a Kanban board with work-in-progress limits, a Pomodoro timer and time tracking, and it calls itself lean project management for personal or team use.
The free version has no time limit. Premium is $5 per user per month, and the company says it has kept its prices unchanged for over a decade. It has a REST API with webhooks, Excel import and export, email-to-task and calendar feeds, and a mobile web app rather than native apps.
It is a board, not a list, so it fits Todoist users who think in columns, and it is a poor match for those who want quick add and a Today view. Its privacy policy is short and says it collects name and email to create an account.
What KanbanFlow does better than Todoist
- Swedish company under EU law, where Todoist is a Delaware company
- A free version with no time limit
- A Pomodoro timer and time tracking built into the board
- An API with webhooks, plus Excel import and export
Where KanbanFlow is a step down from Todoist
- A Kanban board rather than a to-do list, with no Today view or quick add we verified
- Mobile web app only, with no native apps we found
- Kanban-first, so it suits boards better than a daily Today list
- Prices are in US dollars
Standout against Todoist. It has been on the market since 2011 and has kept a free tier with no time limit.
What actually breaks when you switch
The hard part of leaving Todoist is not the tasks, which export as CSV, but the habits around them. Your filters, labels and quick-add shortcuts are the parts that do not carry over, and a new tool will file things differently for a fortnight.
Run both in parallel for a week, and move one project at a time. Ommiq's import takes titles, due dates and subtasks but not completed tasks, comments, attachments or recurrence rules, so recurring tasks arrive as one-time tasks and you will need to set them up again.
If your list is wired into calendars, email or automation tools, list those links before you switch. No tool on this page has Todoist's 90 or more integrations, so decide which links matter, and which you can drop.
Is there a European tool that works exactly like Todoist?
Not that we could verify. Nozbe is the nearest in shape, with projects, tasks, comments and apps for Mac, Windows, iOS and Android, and Superlist and Vikunja cover lists and shared projects well. None of them has Todoist's catalogue of more than 90 integrations.
The personal apps (Things, Structured, Tweek, Super Productivity, tududi, Ommiq) match the daily list and leave out the team layer. Each entry below says which part it covers.
Do I need a team tool, or a personal one?
A personal one if the list is yours alone. Things, Tweek, Structured, Super Productivity, tududi and Ommiq are built around one person planning a day or a week, and they are simpler for it.
A shared one if other people must see, assign or comment on tasks. Nozbe, Superlist, Vikunja, MeisterTask and KanbanFlow have sharing, and each handles it a little differently. Ommiq does not share tasks at all.
Which of these keep my data in Europe?
It varies, and not every vendor says where its servers are. Ommiq runs its own server in Frankfurt and says nothing is mirrored outside the EU. Morgen says it is Swiss-hosted. Nozbe's data processing agreement commits it not to transfer personal data outside the EEA unless the destination is adequate or safeguards apply. Superlist and Structured are German companies, but we could not verify where they host.
Super Productivity and tududi (self-hosted) put the data wherever you run them. tududi's hosted Cloud uses providers it names in its privacy policy, some outside the EEA. The company is what we checked, and each entry says what else we found.
Can I move my Todoist tasks across?
Todoist exports each project as CSV. Ommiq has a Todoist import built in, and brings titles, due dates and subtasks across, though not completed tasks, comments, attachments or recurrence rules. Morgen can connect to Todoist and show its tasks on a calendar rather than move them.
For the others, check the import options before you commit; we only verified the two above. Keeping Todoist running next to the new tool for a week is the safest way to find out what you would miss.
Which one to pick
If you share projects, Nozbe is the closest all-round European answer, and Superlist is the more modern one if you are happy with AI features. Vikunja suits a team that wants to host its own, and MeisterTask or KanbanFlow suit people who think in boards.
If your list is personal, Things is the polished choice on Apple devices, Super Productivity is the free open-source one on every platform, and Tweek or Structured suit people who plan by the week or by the hour. Morgen is the answer if the calendar is where you actually plan your day.
Ommiq fits one narrow case: you want a plain, free list, hosted in Germany, run by one named person, and you do not need sharing or integrations. It is young and small, so treat it as a quiet list for yourself, not a system your team depends on.
Be realistic about the gap. Todoist is a mature product with a large integration catalogue, and none of these twelve reproduces it exactly. Switch if the US jurisdiction of your task data bothers you, and keep Todoist if its integrations carry your workflow.
Frequently Asked Questions
Nozbe is the closest all-round answer: a Polish company running since 2007, with projects, tasks and teams, apps on Mac, Windows, iOS and Android, and a free plan of up to three active projects. Things suits an Apple user who wants a polished personal list, Super Productivity suits someone who wants a free, open-source planner with a timer, and Vikunja suits a team that would rather run its own server.
Yes. Its privacy policy and terms name Todoist Inc., a company registered in Delaware with a registered address in Wilmington, and the terms are governed by the laws of Delaware. The team behind it works remotely from many countries, so the contracting entity, rather than a head office, is what matters here.
Yes, several. Super Productivity is free and open source. Vikunja and tududi are free if you host them yourself. Ommiq's core app is free, with optional one-time extras. Tweek, KanbanFlow, Nozbe, MeisterTask and Superlist have free plans with limits, such as three active projects at Nozbe and five lists at Superlist. Things and Morgen have no free plan.
Super Productivity (MIT), tududi (MIT) and Vikunja (AGPLv3). All three can be self-hosted at no cost. Vikunja and tududi also sell a hosted version, and Super Productivity offers optional sync through its own Super Sync, WebDAV or Dropbox. The others on this page are closed source.
Things, from Cultured Code in Stuttgart, runs on Mac, iPad, iPhone, Apple Watch and Vision Pro, and is the most polished of the personal apps here. Structured, from unorderly in Berlin, plans your day on a timeline on Mac and iPhone, and Tweek has Mac and iPad apps. Nozbe, Superlist and Super Productivity cover Apple devices as well as others.
Ommiq does: press Q and type something like "buy milk tomorrow 3pm #groceries", and it picks out the date, time and category. tududi reads dates and repeats as you type, and Things has natural date input. We did not verify quick add behaviour on the other tools, so test it before you rely on it.
No. Ommiq is a personal planner with no shared projects, comments, assignments or integrations, which its own comparison page says plainly. It suits one person who wants a quiet, free list. For shared work, pick Nozbe, Superlist, Vikunja, MeisterTask or KanbanFlow.
The core app is free, with no ads and no tracking. A handful of optional extras are one-time purchases between €1.99 and €19.99, such as a week view at €19.99, with no subscription. It is run by Dennis Peld as a sole proprietorship in Berlin, online since December 2025. It is a young one-person project and not open source, which matters if you want a long track record.
Morgen is built for that: tasks and calendars in one place, with an AI Planner, from Morgen AG in Switzerland, at $15 per month billed yearly after a free trial. Structured shows your day as a timeline, and Things lists calendar events above your Today list. tududi plans the day around connected calendars and Tweek syncs Google, Outlook and Apple calendars on Premium.
