Hello folks, welcome back to another video it is francesco here
So we're going to be taking a look at Zenkit To-Do
This is a new application a little bit of a spin-off of
The popular project management software from Zenkit and it is essentially looking to replace vendor lists
On May the 6th when that shuts down now
We're gonna register
we're gonna sign up for an account and do a little bit of a tour of what it looks like and how to go about
Using it, so let's get started
You can actually log in or sign in and sign up using Google Apple Microsoft Facebook and Trello
Which is a pretty decent
Lineup in case you wanted to use another piece of software. Ok
So once we're all signed in as you can see when you enter the application
This is the web version. So there is also going to be an Android and iOS version launching today
So it looks pretty much identical to what Thunder lists look like previously
You have this sort of like central column with this left-hand sidebar
Which can be minimized if you did want to but essentially down this left hand side
You can start adding project or projects or lists and then on this right hand side
You can activate all of the task details once you've added certain tasks. So let's start adding a few projects
So if you wanted to when you go and create your list
you can actually import from two other applications that's vendor list naturally and
also asana
So one port whatever projects you have inside of those applications
Now if I wanted to go ahead and start adding some house errands I could start adding some tasks up in the center here
Okay, so once I've added a few tasks very similar to vendor list
If you click into a task on this right hand side
You'll be able to see a bit of a task details and you can see that
Obviously Microsoft to do was also inspired by this design so you can also add a due date to them
so for example the due date here to
Actually play the workspace
You can add a reminder if it's a repeater tasks say I want to do this every single week on a Wednesday
I could go ahead and create that and you can see it's weekly on a Tuesday and Wednesday there I can add
Subtasks and any notes here and as you can see the notes appear as a option you can have that as a floating
One here. So if I press ctrl
You can add that as a floating area here allowing you to add it in hatred email
Markdown or even just plain text over here. You can also add attachments and add comments as well
Now up here
If you've got any sort of tasks you can archive and delete it but you can even show it as a pop-up
So it will appear in the center of the screen
You can also change that setting disappear as a side panel if you want to for future tasks
You can even move this to the list copy it to another list and share a link directly
Now as you can see on this left-hand side
Um new areas start beginning to appear so you can see that this is the week ahead
And you can start to see some of the tasks there
You can also see an inbox and this is useful for if you're clipping stuff throughout the day
So just to pause there there is some former pricing plan to this one the Zen kit to do has for pricing plans
The personal one that I'm on right now gives you access to up to eight free members five hundred megabytes 80 lists
which is fairly reasonable and
to
2400 tasks 20 folders to step and also reminders comments and file uploads which I guess is slightly better to some extent
Than the to do is set up but it's dependent on what feature you highlight
You've also got a Plus plan, which is four dollars per user per month
And that is not the annual fee that gets you up to a hundred paid members being able to use it
six gigabytes
attachment space
800 lists
80,000 tasks 200 folders and
A few more access abilities including coming soon email to list an iCloud calendar
Subscription and there is also a business plan which 19 dollars per user per month
Which is bit more enterprise focused as well as an enterprise plan
Which is pretty much unlimited with custom abilities now inside the settings
There's not really much to talk about you can see here that you can upgrade
from here and it will give you the pricing plans and details the
annual plan for Zen kit to do is
$36, which is not too bad and that's part of the Plus plan
so that's if you wanted to upgrade in that's pretty much like a comparable application probably to ticktick and
todoist as they're really the sort of
Experiences that are you know been compared to this, although they don't you know, they do have smart lists
I'll probably be digging a little deeper into this application in a formalised review
they also have themes and the reason why many people are saying this is exactly a
Comparison to the likes of vendor list is the themes are pretty much the same. You can see this pretty much
awesomely designed
Alternative to that vendor list background, but it looks pretty cool
And you can even get your own one in the Plus plan
If you've got the plus plan, you can upload your own image now
you also have the ability to modify your notifications and also create these smart lists and the smart lists are very similar to
What you would see inside a tick tick and what you can do is have them set up
So for example, you want to start automatically go rolling on them. You can begin to add them there
So if I go back you can see here
if I go to all that will show all of my
Current tasks during a day and can even do the same with the today area and I can start adding my tasks here so folks
As I'm editing this now
I actually thought that I missed out on a couple of things there might be handy for those who are looking to actually
Jump in with this application and the first is folders
So obviously you go ahead and create folders inside of your workspaces and you can do that by
right-clicking on the
List you've created and there's an option here called move to new folder so you can modify
Each of the folders a lot more you can add a description. You can add a I con color but do note that
I believe some of these are
Limited inside of the Plus plan. So obviously you can choose a color and you can choose a background for
The icon but if you wanted to go for say an icon of home in this case in which you can find in the search
That's going to be a paid feature. So that's something to note. You can also export that whole list as a CSV and
You can write and choose the access here. So you can even go down here and add a new member if you wish
So in this case, I can actually move this to a new folder in this case
I might call the whole area personal and it breaks out into a new section
And naturally that has its own setting abilities for you to access the invites
Available to it and you can access
You can invite up to eight people in the free plan too and down at the bottom here. You can transfer the ownership
over to another person if for example a project details has
changed so in the free plan you get up to 20 our
Folder access or folder creation and the way you can quickly check that is go to settings
Upgrade and I only found this a minute ago in press show product usage
you can see here that these all the folders I'm actively using and I've used two out of twenty and actually quite like this because
some applications only tell you when you've gone ahead and created one more and then it tells you and you're like
Ah, I have to go ahead and delete loads or changed my structure and that's quite helpful now in terms of tasks
So we create the task here minute go clean workspace. You can add a sub task and so for example, I may say
get wipes from
Downstairs could be one of those tasks and breaking it down and I could say wipe PC
And I could say white or clean
Keyboard and you can see there that I have three subtasks here
And naturally what I can do is if I say complete a task
The one thing that you'll notice, is that the completion appears on this
Bar, which I really like this is such a subtle feature and it actually happens inside of ticktick
But not as visually appealing as this
And say I went to complete the whole thing
You can see here that the whole thing is pretty much done
And when I tick off a task you had a completion sound which was quite nice
So you can add up to
2,400 tasks to an account and
Those tasks are deemed to be
those that are active so if I go over to here and
You can see here that I only have three tasks that are active inside of my entire account
So the other thing you can do is add a file to anything
so for example
if I just added a attachment I can add it through the likes of Dropbox Google Drive box and even in external link
Let's say I just wanted to add this one upload quickly
There is a limit of 20 megabytes per file to be added to a task
And there's also a limit total on the free account to 500 megabyte attachment space
Although there is actually a 512 megabytes hattrup and space
According to the stats and product you said now as I said the comments and reminders are free
So for example if I wanted to add a comment
And actually tag someone in it I can do so and that's helpful for teams if I wanted to post them there
That's an additional benefit to the application
The other thing is reminders reminders are very basic. You can only set them to say
You know times and dates you can't necessarily set them to devices
But at the same time that is very helpful
As some applications don't actually allow you to use reminders or put it behind some form of the paywall
Although this is actually embedded inside of the free experience
So this company is a company that's been around since 2003
They obviously been focusing a lot on the project management software
But are probably looking at the the Vandellas market to try and jump into their parent lis
Their German company and this in the Plus plan. I believe has some connection to the Zen kit Gantt and
The Kanban abilities inside of the main app and I can almost see this as a vehicle for people upgrade into Zen kit
Which some companies do as a way to sort of you know?
Capture more people early on get them impressed with the software and then upgrade them to Zen kit
You know other the bigger application and the main one so folks hopefully you enjoyed this review
It's free to download actually launches today, and I just want to let you guys aware of that
But again, it is a pretty impressive application for its first launch
I was in I was actually thought this would be more free than it was but it does have some limitations
but a great vendor list replacement if you're looking for a almost a visual bicarbonate copy and also
Obviously the ability to start sharing lists and getting tucked into what you are used to inside a vendor list
So folks, I hope you enjoyed today's video. Please do like this video if you enjoyed it
It will help more people find it here on YouTube and also subscribe if you're new
It'd be fantastic to have you here. Anyway, folks. I will talk to you all very soon. Make sure to have a great week
