Keep daily tasks in check

Get your life organized with the handy Wunderlist to-do app

Wunderlist is the ultimate to-do app for keeping your life in order. Instead of offering one mundane list or calendar to store everything, you can create categorized lists, such as one for your office and one for your groceries, enabling you to manage various types of task in one place.

The app is available free of charge for your Mac and there’s also a companion app for your iOS devices, and your tasks are kept in sync across them. The app itself is free, but you have the option to subscribe to access more features. The built-in Wunderlist helper enables reminders to display even when the app isn’t running.

Adding items to your to-do list is incredibly simple: just type something in and press ® . Check the box next to each task on your to-do list and it will be marked as done. You can display completed to-do items at any time with a single click.

Double-click on any task to see further options for it. For instance, you can set a reminder or add sub-tasks. Click the star icon to mark a task as urgent. The Notes and Comments section is also useful for adding any extra information you might need to refer to.

The Share option at the bottom of the screen can be used to make a collaborative to-do list. Simply enter your recipient’s email address to add them to your list. Use the Sort button to change how tasks are displayed – for example, in the order they were created.

If you need to have a list on paper, the More button can be used to print hard copies of any to-do list or, handily, you can email a list in text format to people who don’t use the app.
