Memtomo vs Todoist
Todoist is the better dedicated to-do app. Memtomo keeps tasks, notes and tables in one web app that you can also talk to from Telegram. Where each wins.
Facts about Todoist checked on
Pick Todoist if
- You want a dedicated to-do app with native apps on every phone, computer and watch.
- You rely on repeating tasks or location reminders today.
- You plan work with other people in shared projects.
- You need it now, at a known price.
Pick Memtomo if
- Your to-dos are in one app, your notes in another and your numbers in a spreadsheet, and nothing connects them — here they sit together and link to each other.
- You set up a to-do app, fill it in for a week, then stop opening it — here a message is enough.
- Reminders on your phone get swiped away with every other notification — here they arrive as a message in your chat and stay there.
Todoist is one of the best dedicated to-do apps there is, and it has had years to get there. If what you need is a to-do list, and only a to-do list, it is likely the better choice today — the table below says where, row by row.
Memtomo is a different kind of thing: a web app for your tasks, notes and tables, with an assistant you talk to instead of filling in forms — in the app itself or from Telegram. Tasks are one of the things it keeps; the notes, lists and numbers around them live in the same place.
The same errand in both
In Todoist you open the app, type the task into Quick Add, set the date, then add a reminder. In Memtomo you send one message, and the reminder comes back to the same chat at three.
Remind me to call the dentist tomorrow at 3pm, and add a task to send the invoice to Acme by Friday
Done — one reminder, one task.
⏰ Call the dentist✅ Send the invoice to Acme
What you give up
Memtomo is in closed beta and younger than Todoist by many years. Reminders don’t repeat yet, there is no native app — an installable web app is coming — no priorities, sub-tasks are links in a description rather than a built-in tree, and you can’t share a project with someone else yet. If any of those is a must, start with Todoist.
