My partner swears by it and uses it a lot.

I use Todoist as well and like it, but I'm not sure I'd say it "works really well with recurring tasks". If you schedule a task as "every Wednesday" then a few weeks later reschedule the task to Friday it doesn't ask "this instance or all of them?" or something. That entire task series is now scheduled for that particular Friday, and once you've ticked it off you won't get any more reminders ever. If I'm doing something wrong, please let me know. :)

  This is my experience too. In fact I stopped using todoist due to how it handled recurring tasks - which, like you, is a huge part of how I stay organized. For me, "remember the milk" does recurring correctly and is very low friction.

  Oh ya the rescheduling for recurring tasks is one of the places that hurts. Would you mind sending a report via https://todoist.com/help https://todoist.com/help? I will do the same now (I didn't as I don't reschedule recurring tasks often)

    I just created a tasks for "every Tue", reschedule to tomorrow (Wed) After marking it as finished the next one is still on next Tue

      Ah, it seems like if you choose a date in the date picker, or from the "Today, Tomorrow, etc" list it keeps "Every Tuesday" in the text box and gives the behaviour you describe. I always schedule by typing, so I end up replacing "Every Tuesday" with "Wednesday" and then it doesn't work.

I used it as well. It has its quirks, but I think it addresses a lot of the OPs concerns.

I really wish the CEO would get off his own koolaid and add start dates. I get it, you don't use them. I would find them useful. I spend a good few hours a week trying to work around the lack of start dates in Todoist haha. One day I'll pay someone to set up Omnifocus for me and switch to that. It would be super convenient and would stop my checking out every god damn todo app that comes across my radar too I know, break tasks down further if they need a start date, whatever. It doesn't work for me, I tried. I don't want to spend my life organising a todo app I just want to do the things in the todo app and then go lie down Honestly I'd prefer due date be replaced with start date as far as which is more useful. Using Todoist in that way doesn't work well either, I tried.

  I think you need a calendar app for that for now.
