What was Wunderlist?
Wunderlist was a cross-platform to-do list app built by Christian Reber and the 6Wunderkinder team in Berlin. The first version shipped in November 2010, and the app grew to more than 13 million users by mid-2015. Wunderlist for Mac was named App of the Year in 2013, and Wunderlist received a Google Play Editor's Choice award in 2014.
Wunderlist at a glance: Built by 6Wunderkinder in Berlin, first released November 2010. Microsoft acquired the company in June 2015. Microsoft stopped new sign-ups in December 2019 and shut Wunderlist down on May 6, 2020, in favor of Microsoft To Do. Read the complete history of Wunderlist →
People loved Wunderlist for its simplicity, its design, and its free reach across every platform. If you are searching for it today, the honest answer is that it no longer exists: the apps stopped syncing in 2020, and new accounts closed months before. Microsoft offered a one-click import into To Do around the shutdown. That window was time-limited, so a list you never moved lives on only in a backup file you exported yourself.
What is Microsoft To Do?
Microsoft To Do is the official Wunderlist successor. Microsoft announced it in April 2017 as a new app built by the Wunderlist team, and it carried over list groups, steps, file attachments, sharing, and task assignments. To Do is free, and Microsoft says it is "available on all your devices."
Today To Do covers the personal list well. My Day is a daily planner with suggested tasks. You break tasks into steps, set one-time or recurring due dates and reminders, add notes, and attach files of up to 25 MB. Shared lists notify you when others add, complete, or remove tasks. With an Outlook.com or other Microsoft-hosted account, flagged emails appear in To Do as tasks.
Microsoft To Do at a glance (verified October 2026): Free. My Day with suggestions, lists, steps, recurring due dates and reminders, shared lists with assignments, attachments up to 25 MB, and Outlook flagged email. Sources: Microsoft To Do on the App Store and Microsoft support on flagged email.
What is Taskade?
Taskade is an AI-native workspace founded by John Xie, Dionis Loire, and Stan Chang in 2017 (Y Combinator-backed). It pairs structured projects across multiple views with AI Agents v2, durable workflow automations, and the Taskade Genesis app builder: one prompt, one deployed application.
Microsoft To Do or Taskade after Wunderlist?
Pick by the job the list does. If it is your groceries, errands, and personal reminders, Microsoft To Do is the closest thing to Wunderlist and costs nothing. If the list turns into a project with several people, stages, files, and follow-ups, Taskade is built for that next step.
| Job the list does | Microsoft To Do | Taskade |
|---|---|---|
| Personal errands and reminders | Excellent, free, Wunderlist feel | List view, mobile apps, reminders |
| Plan the day | My Day with suggested tasks | Calendar view and agents that draft a daily plan |
| Share a list with family | Shared lists with assignments | Shared projects with comments and chat |
| Run a team project | Lists only | Board, Table, Gantt Chart, and Calendar on the same project |
| Act on email | Outlook flagged email becomes a task | Gmail and Outlook triggers start automations |
| Ask AI to do the next step | Suggestions in My Day | Custom agents that read the project and act |
Use Microsoft To Do and Taskade together
Many former Wunderlist users run both. To Do stays the personal list on the phone. Taskade holds the shared work. The Microsoft Outlook connector is the bridge, and it runs on paid Taskade plans.
Here is one concrete morning-briefing workflow:
- A Taskade automation starts on a Schedule trigger at 8:00 every weekday.
- A custom AI agent reads your team projects and lists the tasks assigned to you that are due today, with one line of context each.
- An Outlook Send Email step sends that list to your own Outlook.com inbox.
- You flag the email in Outlook. Microsoft To Do shows it in the Flagged email list, and you add it to My Day next to your errands.
The reverse direction works too. Forward a client email to a dedicated Outlook folder or address, and an Outlook New Email trigger creates the Taskade task, assigns it, and attaches the message text. Your personal day lives in To Do. The team's record lives in Taskade.
Why Wunderlist fans pick Taskade
Fast lists that keep growing
Taskade keeps what made Wunderlist pleasant (fast capture and cross-platform sync) and adds AI Agents v2, Taskade Genesis apps, and 100+ integrations on top.
Real collaboration, not just shared lists
Real-time co-editing, comments, in-app chat, and video calls. The workspace where your personal lists live scales to team projects and apps.
Multiple project views, not one
List, Board, Table, Mind Map, Docs (Beta), Gantt Chart, Calendar, Actionsheet, and Org Chart. Gantt Chart, Actionsheet, and Org Chart need a paid plan. Pick the view that matches the work.
AI agents and Taskade Genesis built in
AI Agents v2 include persistent memory, built-in tools, and custom tools. Taskade Genesis ships entire applications from a prompt, with no DevOps and no code.
100+ bidirectional integrations
Durable Automations across 100+ integrations. Triggers pull events in (Slack, Gmail, Sheets, Calendly, webhooks), and actions push data out (Stripe, Shopify, Notion, Salesforce, GitHub).
The Workspace DNA advantage
Taskade is built on Workspace DNA — a self-reinforcing loop between three pillars.
- Memory (Projects) — Every project doubles as the structured data layer for tasks, files, and structured fields.
- Intelligence (Agents) — Custom AI Agents with persistent memory and built-in tools, embeddable inside Taskade Genesis apps.
- Execution (Automations) — Durable workflows triggered by external events that read from Memory, act through Intelligence, and write the results back into Memory.
Wunderlist remembered your tasks. Taskade remembers everything you and your team have worked on, and then acts on it. Read the Workspace DNA explainer →

Microsoft To Do itself is free. Some functions, such as flagged email from Outlook, depend on a Microsoft-hosted email account. Taskade charges per workspace, not per user, so a small team shares one Pro plan.
