Microsoft to kill off Wunderlist in favour of To Do in May 2020 – Wunderlist used to be my favourite todo manager

Microsoft is planning to kill off its Wunderlist app on May 6th, 2020. The software giant originally acquired Wunderlist more than four years ago, and it has spent the past two years building out its To Do app as a replacement. “We’ve been working tirelessly to ensure our new app, Microsoft To Do, feels like a new home for your lists,” explains Microsoft’s Wunderlist team in a blog post. “We’ve stopped releasing new features and big updates to Wunderlist, so as the app ages it’s become more difficult to maintain. As technology continues to advance, we can’t guarantee that Wunderlist will continue to work as it should, or as we’d like it to.”

Wunderlist was one of the best todo managers (hence it being bought out). I moved on to using Trello after that as I knew Wunderlist’s days would be limited under Microsoft. No the Microsoft To Do never grabbed me at all. I’m actually enjoying using Trello far more now and there are also free and open source todo managers that you can host yourself such as Kanboard and Wekan.
