Microsoft To-Do

Following the acquisition of Wunderlist back in 2015, Microsoft has now released its own to-do list app. Built by the same team that worked on Wunderlist, Microsoft To-Do is a simple and straightforward to-do list app that lists all your tasks for the day front and center. You can tap on the items to mark them as complete. As the day ends, the list is cleared and a new page is created for the new day. Any tasks you may have missed go into the suggestions section and from there you can add them to your current day's tasks with a quick tap. The app is currently available on iOS, Android, Windows 10, and the web.
