TeuxDeux Daily Checklist To Do 4+

Simply perfect to-do app.

I’ve tried every to-do list app out there. I’ve also tried offline systems from bullet journaling to sticky notes to my own homegrown paper-based system. Every couple years I throw in the towel and come back to TeuxDeux, and I’m always so glad when I do. Everything else requires too much maintenance to actually be usable as a day-to-day to do list. TeuxDeux brings a feeling of calm to my overcommitted life, and lets me keep track of what I have to do, simply. The recent UX and UI improvements are delightful, and have only made it more of what it’s always been: a piece of paper that’s a lot harder to lose, doesn’t make you rewrite things, and comes with just enough structure to keep you on track. I still use Todoist for managing projects like home improvement or planning a vacation, but for keeping track of everything I have to do each day and keeping the overwhelm at bay, there’s nothing like TeuxDeux. I think that actually points to the big idea behind TeuxDeux, and I’m so glad they’ve stuck with it all these years: if your to-do list app has the power to manage projects, your to-do list app is probably too complicated to manage your to-do list. Thanks TeuxDeux for keeping it simple all these years, and especially for all the recent improvements to the iPhone and web apps! They really make a difference. TeuxDeux is a joy to use in 2023.

Obsessed with this app

I have been faithfully using Teuxdeux for years, and it is by far the easiest organization tool to set up and begin using immediately. I love how simple it is to customize the lists. I can set up recurring tasks, divide my day into any type of sections I need such as morning, afternoon, evening or by priority level or type of task. It is simple enough for even the most digitally-challenged to use, yet customizable enough for the most complicated schedules. I love how it syncs with my phone and laptop. I use it to organize tasks, goals, schedules- everything! I use the someday lists for future goals, info I need to remember, Christmas lists, etc. Thank you, TeuxDeux staff, for this incredible product!

Great but could use some small changes

I love the set up of this app and I find it so beautiful and simple to use. I’m a big fan of the flying cats and the customization as well. I also like that it is free for iOS, as I never use my computer to plan anything. I’m just not near it enough but I always have my phone on me. I also really like the lists category, as I can just brain dump everything I need to remember and shop for.

While I love the app and the simplicity of it, there are a few small things I would change.

1. I am not sure how to stop reoccurring tasks (besides cancelling them via the website version of TeuxDeux. Maybe this is a feature but I can’t seem to find it.
There were a few reoccurring tasks I created by accident and I was scared they would just be there permanently and bother me for eternity.

2. This is very small and nit-picky, but the ability to delete something without crossing it off first. Being new to the app, I struggled trying to delete something for 5 minutes before realizing I needed to cross it off and then delete it.

3. Creating the # headers seem to be a tiny bit glitchy.

Overall the app is great! But I do think it could be a little more user-friendly for iPhone users who rarely go on their laptops. The reoccurring tasks thing is a big one specifically for me, as I’m prone to accidentally typing stuff. I also think that it is a bit confusing to figure out for a beginner and could use a little more instruction.
