To-do the right thing

Microsoft To Do has real personality.

Microsoft To Do

Capture Tasks & Set Reminders

View

Microsoft To Do, created by the team behind the beloved app Wunderlist, is a to-do app with personality.

There’s a lot to customise here. Use an inspiring photo as a background image. Add an icon to each list. There’s even a satisfying sound when you check off an item. (You could switch this off, but... why?)

Custom icons make it easy to find a particular list at a glance.

Although Microsoft To Do does simple really well (to create a list, just click the plus sign), the app can meet you at your most obsessive. Click a task to add subtasks, reminders, files and additional notes. Or add a due date or make the task recurring – the default My Day view bubbles up only what needs your attention right now.

To Do works seamlessly with Reminders and Siri. To set it up, go to System Preferences > Internet Accounts and click Exchange to enter your Microsoft Exchange or Outlook.com login information. Then open the Reminders app and choose your new account from Reminders > Default List. Now when you say “Hey Siri, remind me to pick up the dry cleaning”, the note will automatically be synced to To Do.
