ToDowl: a Todoist alternative with a calendar
Todoist is a fast, dedicated to-do app - keyboard-first entry, natural-language due dates and labels are what it does best. It stays a task list, though: no built-in calendar, no notes, no habit tracker. Google Tasks is lighter still, a to-do list inside Gmail. ToDowl keeps the same quick task entry and adds a calendar, project notes and a habit tracker in the same account.
| Feature |  ToDowl |  Todoist |  Google Tasks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Task entry | Kanban board and list per project, priorities and due dates. | Fast, keyboard-first entry with natural-language due dates - its core strength. | A basic list with due dates and subtasks; no priorities or labels. |
| Calendar | Weekly and monthly calendar built in, color-coded by project. | No calendar view in the app; syncs out to an external calendar instead. | No calendar of its own; appears as a sidebar inside Google Calendar. |
| Notes | Project-based notes editor next to your tasks. | No built-in notes; task descriptions are the closest equivalent. | No notes feature. |
| Habit tracker | Monthly grid with streaks. | No dedicated habit tracker. | No habit tracker. |
Why switch
-
Same fast task entry
Kanban board and list view per project keep the quick-add habit Todoist users already have, with priorities and due dates.
-
A calendar that is actually there
Tasks with due dates show up on a built-in weekly and monthly calendar, no external sync required.
-
Notes without a second app
A project-based notes editor sits next to your tasks instead of living in a separate notes app.
-
Habits get tracked too
A monthly habit grid with streaks covers the one thing neither Todoist nor Google Tasks offers.
