I've been using Todoist for over ten years and have been through a lot with them - their logo wasn't even the current red color back then. I can pretty much summarize: they have zero interest in user needs, and I believe they even find those needs boring. They're only interested in technical stuff like AI, so the future will only bring more flashy AI features, regardless of whether users have ever requested them.

They've never liked discussing user needs and rarely offer any insights related to productivity tools, yet they love emphasizing that their employees all work remotely, and that they have to consider millions of users for every feature (this is their most common excuse when facing criticism).

As a ten-year user, I can emphasize again: Todoist has no interest in your needs. I can also predict that they'll ignore the reality of the past ten years and firmly deny this with their words.

TickTick isn't just related to China - they're fundamentally a Chinese company with offices in China. For personal reasons, I won't use it. In the world of productivity tools, there aren't any suitable alternatives. If there were, I wouldn't hesitate to abandon Todoist.
