That helps keep you from forgetting older tasks.
My Day view, which in Microsoft To Do replaces the “Today” view from Wunderlist, but adds a suggested list that shows tasks from the past it thinks you might be able to get done today. Then, there are two new features in Microsoft To Do that weren’t in Wunderlist: “Assigned to me” in Wunderlist is now “Assigned to you” in Microsoft To Do. “Inbox” in Wunderlist is now the “Tasks” list in Microsoft To Do. Week view in Wunderlist showed the next week’s tasks Planned view in Microsoft To Do shows all scheduled tasks, with tasks beyond this week marked as “Later.”.
Folders for lists in Wunderlist are called Groups in Microsoft To Do. Background photos in Wunderlist are set for your full account in Microsoft To Do, you have to choose a Theme (which simply changes the background color or photo) per list. Subtasks from Wunderlist are called Steps in Microsoft To Do. There are also some Wunderlist features that are renamed or work a bit differently in Microsoft To Do: Overdue tasks: Wunderlist’s sidebar showed the number of overdue tasks in red, which is missing in Microsoft To Do. Comments: You could add comments on any task in personal or shared lists in Wunderlist, but no comments are available in Microsoft To Do. There is no way to link to specific tasks in Microsoft To Do. Links to tasks: Wunderlist let you copy a link to a task, as a way to jump back to a task from another app easily. Smart due dates: Wunderlist recognized text like “on Tuesday” in text to schedule tasks, something Microsoft To Do does not offer. Notification settings: In a similar way, Microsoft To Do has no option to switch between email and push notificaitons, as Wunderlist did. There’s no option to disable notifications on a single list in Microsoft To Do. Do Not Disturb mode: In shared lists, Wunderlist included a Do Not Disturb mode to disable notifications from that specific list. Email: That same menu in Wunderlist let you email a plain text version of a task list that’s not in Microsoft To Do. Printing: Wunderlist always showed a small floating toolbar at the bottom of lists, with a Print List option that would make a paper checlist of your tasks.
There are still a few Wunderlist features missing from Microsoft To Do: Microsoft To Do is quite similar to Wunderlist-down to the background photos, app interface, and the way task details come in a sidebar that slides in from the right when you click on a task.
