If I'm laying out an article and I see a good photo I'd like to use, I can pop it into the bottom of the item. Continuing along those lines, within every to-do item in Wunderlist is an option to add files from your computer, phone, Dropbox, or what have you. You can't attach files to a to-do item.Wunderlist manages to do more while keeping a blank note-taking space of its own. You can create your own de facto list of subtasks in there, but that's a slower and sloppier process. When you want to add further detail to an item in To-Do, however, you only have a blank space to take notes. Each of those subtasks have little checkboxes next to them, so when you complete one, you just strike it off. So if you have an item called 'Grocery list,' you can write out 'Cheese,' 'Milk,' 'Bread,' and whatever else right there. When you create a to-do item in Wunderlist, you have the ability to create sub-items within it. The margins between these sort of to-do apps aren't huge, so if that's all you need, by all means give To-Do a try. It is fast, it looks clean, and you can use it to jot things down, then check off those things as you do them. To-Do, as it is now, does not have that level of flexibility. The way it's able to organize simple and complex tasks all at once has made it a fixture on many home screens. But it's featured enough to also be a powerful productivity tool - I've personally used it to lay out articles, bounce ideas off colleagues, and generally behave like a streamlined note-taking app a la Evernote. You can use it to keep track of what you need to buy at the grocery store, sure, and it's perfectly pleasant for that. The thing to know about Wunderlist is that it's not just a to-do list app. But Microsoft is trending in that direction, and given that To-Do is something you can download today, the extent to which it trails Wunderlist is worth noting. No Wunderlist user, myself included, has to make the switch right now. To be clear, Microsoft readily admits that To-Do is still in a preview stage, and Wunderlist remains fully available. Wunderlist is deceptively full of useful features, but Microsoft says To-Do will do better to avoid ever feeling overwhelming. Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders.
