Pros & Cons
Todoist
Pros
Long track record of stability and active development since 2007
Fast, well-regarded natural language input for quick task capture
Generous cross-platform support across virtually every major device and OS
Bootstrapped, profitable company not dependent on investor pressure to monetize aggressively
Clean, minimalist interface that avoids feature bloat found in heavier PM tools
Cons
Free plan's 5-project limit is restrictive for users managing multiple areas of life or work
Recent price increases from December 2025 raised both Pro and Business plan costs
Lacks some advanced project management features like Gantt charts and resource management found in tools like Asana or ClickUp
No built-in time tracking without third-party integrations
Business plan's per-user pricing can add up quickly for larger teams
Omnivore
Pros
Was completely free with no paid tier while operating
Fully open source, so self-hosting was possible for technical users
Clean, ad-free reading experience across web and mobile
Strong integrations with note-taking tools like Obsidian and Logseq
Codebase remains publicly available on GitHub as a reference or self-host base even after shutdown
Cons
The hosted service is permanently shut down as of November 15, 2024
All user data was deleted after the export window closed
No mobile apps or browser extensions currently function for saving new content
Self-hosting the abandoned codebase requires real technical effort with no official support
Former users must migrate to a different tool entirely, with no official import path forward from the company
