an honest comparison · checked September 2026
Nuffo vs Todoist.
The big, fast, grown-up to-do list. Every platform, great filters, lots of integrations.
Pick Todoist if…
you manage lots of projects, share them with people, need repeating tasks and reminders, and want an app on every device you own.
Pick Nuffo if…
your Todoist has 200 overdue tasks and you'd like someone to pick three and hide the rest. Or your life is more errands and somedays than projects.
Where Todoist is better.
- Native apps everywhere: iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows, Watch. Nuffo is a web app you can install.
- Repeating tasks, reminders at a set time, labels, priorities, filters. Nuffo has none of those yet.
- Shared projects for families and teams.
- An official MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT and friends, on every plan.
- Over a decade of polish. It's very good.
Where Nuffo is different.
- Nuffo caps today at three things. Todoist lets you add as many as you like.
- A brand-new project idea waits 7 days before it can take one of your three projects.
- You dump, Nuffo files. No projects or labels to set up.
- Somedays (places, books, gifts) get their own lists, away from your to-dos.
- No Karma, no streaks. Nothing to lose if you skip a week.
