Del vs Todoistdoing vs listing.
Todoist is a task manager — a well-designed list you maintain yourself. Del is a proactive assistant that lives in your messages: you tell it what's on your plate in plain language and it tracks, reminds, follows up, and acts, so things actually get done instead of just getting logged. Pick Todoist to organize tasks; pick Del to offload them.
Is Del a replacement for my to-do app?
For many people, yes. A to-do app like Todoist is only as good as your discipline in maintaining it — capturing, tagging, reviewing, and actually doing. The list still sits there waiting for you.
Del removes that overhead. You text it the way you'd text a capable assistant, and it keeps the list for you, surfaces the right thing at the right time, and follows up — including chasing other people — so tasks close instead of pile up.
Why do people switch from a to-do list to Del?
The common reason: maintaining a list is itself work. Our users tell us Del is "so much better than texting myself reminders" because it doesn't just store the task — it owns the follow-up.
Frequently asked
Can Del replace Todoist?
For most personal task management, yes. Instead of maintaining a list yourself, you text Del what needs doing and it tracks, reminds, and follows up — including with other people. If you specifically enjoy curating a detailed project system, a dedicated app like Todoist may still suit you.
How do I add tasks to Del?
Just text it, the way you'd tell an assistant. There's no syntax, tags, or app to open — Del understands plain language and organizes the rest.
Does Del remind me about tasks?
Yes, and it goes further than a reminder — Del follows up proactively and will chase down the things (and people) a task depends on, so it actually gets finished.
