Amazing Marvin
Pros
- Feature modules switch on only when you need them, which cuts default clutter
- Built-in timers, Pomodoro, time tracking, and focus modes sit beside the task list
- Habits, streaks, goals, and light gamification reward momentum without a separate habit app
- Imports from Todoist, TickTick, Things, Microsoft To Do, Google Calendar, and others ease migration
- Zapier, email-to-task, Chrome capture, and a documented API cover serious automation nerds
Cons
- No permanent free tier after the trial—you either subscribe or stop adding work
- Mobile apps are companions; power users still anchor sessions on web or desktop
- Customization depth trades away the instant simplicity of minimalist lists
- Store reviews occasionally complain about mobile sync or parity versus desktop
- Smaller community footprint than Todoist-class giants in workplace IT guides
Microsoft To Do
Pros
- Hooks straight into Outlook mail, calendars, and flagged mail
- Interface stays sparse: list, due date, attachments
- Free inside a Microsoft account with no upsell wall
- Smart lists surface Today and flagged email without setup
- My Day keeps desktop workers from drowning in backlogs
Cons
- No built-in Pomodoro, habits, or calendar-heavy dashboards
- Value thins out fast outside Microsoft 365
- Power filters and natural language still trail TickTick
- Boards never grew into a full project OS
