Microsoft to shut down Wunderlist in favor of its new app, To-Do

I use Google Keep for this. Works well enough. When Microsoft bought Wunderlist I moved away from it as I guessed it would be replaced by a lesser product (at least initially) and probably folded into Office 365.

I mustn't be the only who thinks it's ironic to move to a Google product/service in hope of avoiding something disappearing. ;)

Ha yeah I know what you mean. I am still angry about Reader.

For now at least it seems Google is putting work into Keep so I hope it won't disappear anytime soon.

Unfortunately having a todo/notes app that allows for account controlled sharing is tricky to do without some kind of service. Unless you want to get all ghetto and build something that works on top of something like Dropbox but that gets problematic as Dropbox isn't designed to be used that way.

I built my own test program that used a protected-shared Google Sheet as its data source but at that point you might as well just use Keep!

I think that's said about every Google thing at some point in time.

It's not ironic, it's just paradoxical.

Good tip - cheers. The other alternative I was looking at was Remember The Milk.

I guess at least when it's a todo-list app that's shutting down, there are a lot of alternatives to move to!

Remember The Milk is great. Tried Wunderlist, tried Todoist and always eventually came back to RTM. For me it's the Smart Lists that let me run my own, weird version of GTD ;)
