- [Lee] Hi, this is Lee Garrett
and welcome to another edition of screencastsOnline.
In this episode, I'm gonna be talking about
a very popular task management application
that I've found myself using heavily over
the last six months, namely Todoist.
Now Todoist has been around for over a decade
and I haven't really paid it very much attention.
However, recently I found myself working with a client
that involves me having to use a Windows machine,
yeah I know, right, poor me.
So I needed to find a detailed task management application
or service that would run on all of my Apple devices.
So that's my MacBook Pro, my iPad and iPhone,
as well as a Windows machine when I'm
on site with my client.
And Todoist is great for this scenario.
I've got lots of requirements
from a task management application.
I need my tasks split up into various projects.
I like being able to collaborate with others at times,
and I want it to have the ability to assign tags
or labels to tasks, and filter them, based on where I am,
what tools I have or who I'm with.
Todoist has all of these features and a lot more besides.
Now we've got a lot to cover in this screencast,
so let's get straight to it.

So here we are on the Todoist website
and you can see that by clicking here we can
create an account for free and you can watch
a video of how it works.
Although hopefully this screencast
will have you covered there.
Now there is a lot you can do with the free version
of Todoist, however if I scroll down to the bottom
of the webpage here and click on the pricing section,
then we can see a comparison of the feature sets
included with the three pricing tiers,
Free, Premium, and Business.
You can see that with the Free plan you can access
Todoist on multiple platforms, you can have
recurring due dates for tasks, you can create subtasks,
and have a maximum of 80 active projects,
which is certainly enough to get you started.
However, if you want to get the most out of Todoist
and use some of the great features such as task labels,
reminders, attaching files, automatically emailing tasks
into Todoist, then you will need to subscribe
to the Premium version, which is currently billed
at $3 per month annually.
As you can see, if you're looking to roll out Todoist
within your business, or within your team,
then there is a price plan for you as well
and this is billed at $4 per month per user.
Again, this is billed annually.
I'm just gonna click the Sign Up link here
in the top right-hand corner.
And what you will do is, you will fill in
the information to create your account.
Now I already have an account created,
and it is indeed a Premium one, so you'll be able to see
all of the Premium features as you watch this screencast,
so I'm just gonna close this window.
And I'm gonna click Log In, to log into
the web version of Todoist.
So, as you can see, we can access Todoist by using
a standard web browser, however I did say
that there was a local application for the Mac and iOS
and you can download these from the respective App Stores.
Now I'm gonna make the assumption that you know
how to complete that process,
so I'm not gonna run through that here.
And as I've already installed Todoist locally
on this machine, I'm gonna switch
to the local application now for the remainder
of the macOS portion of this screencast.
