Just a quick farewell to all here. I've been a Toodledo user for well over a decade (probably something like 15 years). I've lost confidence in the direction of the product with the new ownership. What I've seen strikes me as dysfunctional; I hope the team gets its act together, but I'm not hopeful and certainly not hopeful enough to stay onboard.
After evaluating a few options, I've gone with Remember the Milk. Checking back on these forums has been a regular habit of mine, but it's kind of a quirk at this point and is no longer productive. After posting this I'll be deleting my Toodledo data, my Toodledo account, and all my links and shortcuts to the Toodledo site. In short, I'm moving on and won't be looking back. Best of luck to all of you. This message was edited Aug 14, 2019. |

I've moved on months ago. Used iOS reminders with GoodTask, for the past couple of weeks have been playing with MS ToDo / Outlook.com tasks - still synced to Reminders, and with my new "Keep It Simple, Stupid" approach, I can just copy tasks between systems with little tweaking.
Despite its many bugs and "why on earth did they do that" moments, To Do is really growing on me. It's simple, fast, available on any Windows 10 system, has a full blown web interface, and a semi-decent iOS app. It is missing some functionality, but as I am trying to use a task management system that is as platform independent as possible, this is actually a good thing for me. At any rate, I don't have any desire to come back... |

I just spent the last 8 hours customizing Clickup and MyLifeOrganized and neither can do what Toodledo does as easily or efficiently. Clickup is SLOOOOW and wastes so much screen real estate with blank space, plus it cannot do boolean reports (or a Hotlist that includes both Due Today and Next Actions all on one screen); MLO requires way too many mouseclicks to create a task, and has limited keyboard shortcuts functionality and limited sorting.
Over the years I've also used or trialed many other competitors that couldn't come close. So, I've decided to stick with Toodledo until either it or I kick the proverbial bucket. I truly hope Toodledo succeeds. |

I truly hope Toodledo succeeds. I'm in the same boat here ... Remember The Milk is the only other possible consideration ... making my own ToodleDo in Excel might become a serious option ...

It seems strange but I am rediscovering paper and I realize that maybe the computer thing made it really easy for me to do the trivial stuff but really did not force me to review enough.
I am 53 so I grew up with paper planning and seems like riding a bike. Got right back up and feels great. |

I am almost the same age and remember wishing that paper gave me reminders and was always there when I wanted to review it... to me, there's no way back :) |

I'm still a big fan of paper too!
Toodledo is my Staging and Sorting tool for all my "things". It's my To-do list for things online. From my Toodledo sortings I transfer to paper so I can get stuff done offline .. Chris |

My biggest thing I will miss is a search function and I am sure a few things will slip through the cracks of me being human. But at least if the system does not work--1) I have only myself to blame and 2) I can always free form or change the system. For me now the best part of Toodledo is chatting back and forth on the forum!! Marc |

One hidden post in this thread (for me) by @DrFrankBuck as noted by @Larry2 in this thread:
https://www.toodledo.com/forums/2/27251/0/anant-can-you-give-us-an-update.html From the search: https://www.toodledo.com/forums/search_power.php?user=821630 Posted 1 day ago in: Moving On: Final Post Remember the Milk is a terrific option. I made the move in October and was up and running in no time. Enhancement Toodledo talked about such as migrating overdue tasks forward is already there in RTM. Collaboration is there even in the free version. The note field is automatically date/time stamped. Editing multiple tasks is easier. The keyboard shortcuts amazing. If you want drag-and-drop ordering of tasks, it's there. When I chose Toodledo 6 or so years ago, I preferred it over Remember the MIlk. But in 2016, RTM went through a significant upgrade.

I'm onto Toodist. For my needs it is working well so far. Biggest plus is that it is consistently syncing with mobile and has an easy to use off-line that also syncs consistently.
Been a fun ride here and great help from many forum regulars. Thanks. |

Toodledo still works, and works well I might add. The iOS apps have a few visual glitches, but I'm here for the duration of the ride. Nothing out there compares to Toodledo. I used the mac Things app, but it is very feature poor in comparison. I tend to work off the browser and iOS. I've had no data loss and am hopeful that the app will move forward.
I want to encourage Anant to keep going! |

I flew Ecco pro into the ground and will do the same with TD. Nothing comes closer to meeting my needs.
