Fold vs Todoist
Todoist is a great place to write down and organise your own tasks. Fold is for when your tasks already live in other apps, often ones you didn't choose, and you want to see them all in one place.
Stay with Todoist if…
- You decide where your tasks live, and you're happy to keep them all in one app.
- You want quick capture, recurring tasks and labels, on every device.
- You share projects with people who also use Todoist.
Fold is for you if…
- Your employer uses Planner, a client uses Jira, and your own list is somewhere else.
- You don't want to copy tasks between apps, or keep those copies up to date.
- You want each company's tasks in its own stream, with your calendar alongside.

Questions
Does Fold replace Todoist?
It doesn't have to. Fold reads your Todoist tasks and shows them with the tasks from your other apps. Many people keep Todoist for their own list and use Fold to see everything together.
Can't Todoist import tasks from Jira or Planner?
Not built in. You can set up an automation service to copy them in, but that makes a second copy of each task that has to be kept in sync. Fold reads them where they are.
