COMPARE EMAIL / VS TODOIST · TASK APP + GMAIL ADD-ON

Hobb vs Todoist.

The best task app in the world with one of its weakest add-ons attached.

THE HONEST VERDICT

If you already run your life in Todoist, keep it. Hobb is not a place to file tasks by hand, it is the thing that notices the commitment in the first place, on the phone, in the text thread, in the mail, and puts it in front of you ranked.

WHERE TODOIST SHINES

30M+ users, profitable and bootstrapped, the category’s benchmark task app

Email-to-task with a source backlink, free tier included

Everything else Todoist does well: projects, labels, mobile

WHERE REVIEWERS SAY IT BREAKS

The Gmail add-on rates just 3.62★, crashes on some Macs, crippled date picker

Falsely blocks “suspicious” emails from becoming tasks, with no override

You do the extracting: nothing spots a promise you made on a call

Side by side.
