Todoist alternative
A Todoist alternative that lives in your WhatsApp
Todoist is great for multi-step projects. But most of your to-dos are everyday things: pay a bill, remember something, add to the shopping list. For those, sending a message beats opening yet another app.
| What you need to do | Yttrium | Todoist |
|---|---|---|
| Works inside WhatsApp | No | |
| No app to install | No | |
| Understands audio, photo and PDF | Limited | |
| Bill tracking with due-date alerts | No | |
| Advanced projects, subtasks and labels | Simple | Better |
| Shopping list that organizes itself | No |
Comparison based on the free plans of both, as of September 2026. Todoist is an excellent tool for people who like projects, filters and labels — it just solves a different problem than ours.
Why people switch
Three things that come up in almost every conversation with someone who moved.
A chat, not a form
No project, label or due-date fields to fill in: send a message and you're done.
Reminders that nudge
Not a task sitting in a list: it pings you when the time actually comes.
Understands voice, photos and PDFs
Send audio, a photo of a bill or a PDF and it becomes a task or a bill.
Bring your tasks to where you already are
No import needed: start by sending the three things that are bugging you right now.
