What Todoist does better
- Tasks at scale. Projects, sections, labels, filters and priorities for hundreds of tasks - more structure for a long task list than Dawnlet has.
- Working with other people. Shared projects and team workspaces. Dawnlet is for one person and has no sharing.
- Everywhere. Todoist runs on Android, the web, Windows and Mac as well as iPhone. Dawnlet is iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch only.
Where Dawnlet is different
- The whole day, not just the tasks. Events, todos, habits with streaks, spending and budgets, tracked time, meals, gratitudes and a journal with your mood - eleven modules on one page per day, so you see what your Tuesday actually looked like.
- Built for Apple devices. Home Screen widgets, your timer on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, Siri and Shortcuts, Spotlight, an Apple Watch app and iPad layouts with keyboard shortcuts.
- No ads, analytics or tracking in the app. You sign in with Apple, and you can delete your account and everything in it from inside the app.
- Everything you log is free. Dawnlet Plus - $3.99 a month or $34.99 a year, with a 14-day free trial - adds insights, reports, budgets, repeating items and Plan My Week. Todoist's paid plan has a 7-day trial (as of October 2026).
