I tried all the tools above. And stay not satisfied.
Then I found some time ago quire.io/ and stick to it. Love it, and enjoy it.

Quire.io is:

  • Right now free
  • Like workflowly / moo.do
  • Have Kanban and Boards too
  • Nested tasks
  • Instant notifications
  • Comments for projects, tasks, whatever
  • Apps for iOS / Android / Chrome Extension
  • Detailed documentation with explaining all features: quire.io/features
  • You can migrate from any other tool to QUire
  • Black (night) theme (really beautiful)
  • tags, timers, GitHub integration, etc, etc.
  • The service can work without internet (very useful when you have no wifi but wish to continue to work with your tasks)

Start reading from here: quire.io/w/Getting_Started_with_Qu...

Try it, you will found it very powerful (personally I think that the tool is the most powerful right now in the whole market).

I'm not involved anyhow to this company, I'm not related to this company, I'm just really happy client which finally found what I did search for.

Finally!! Someone has spoken my mind! I've been using this tool since my grad school and continue using this until now! I hate complicated tool, tbh I don't know why people tend to create a software that is "too powerful" with millions of features that users will barely use. I don't want to spend too much time learning a new software, so I'm really happy when I use Quire! It's really intuitive and it helps me organize my work nicely.

They're free for now, so i guess you get what you pay for. There's no "too complicated" features like other highend software but I'm working in a small team right now, it's fine. I just hope they have more themes because somehow the light theme is way too light and the dark theme is just.... too dark!

I love Quire's nested list + board. Our team add our weekly tasks into a board and keep the rest in the nested list. So we can keep the big picture while we focus on the crucial tasks in a short period of time.

Totally agree. Very nice tool and I'm using it now:)
I love UX and the feeling from the tool at the same time it is very simple.

Of course, it has some issues (for example with google calendar integration)
But, the tool is awesome! I highly recommend.

Cool, thanks for sharing, @anacondaqq !

I just have one question: is there a way to create new tasks via email? What I mean is, can I configure my email client to auto-forward incoming emails to a Quire.io-specific email address that then creates new tasks (for me, in a specific project, etc.)?

As of speaking I don't think they have this feature. I've seen people requesting this and they said it's already on their plan to develop in the future.

Thanks for sharing this. I never knew it existed and I'm testing it out as I type this. 😅

One of the best to-do apps out there! Been using it for school for a while now, and so far it's working very well for me. Went through a lot of project management softwares ever since Wunderlist switched to Ms To-Do. Was really bummed that Wunderlist was no more, but ended up finding Quire!

The mobile app connects well with the webpage, syncing quickly, and has the offline syncing feature. It does have some problems such as they lack of different templates, but nevertheless, it's a good app. It's free too (perfect for students like me).

Thanks for sharing! I'm glad that more and more people are finding about Quire. I used Asana for quite a while. I really love it. But to be honest I find it pretty complicated for my personal to-do list. My coworker introduced me to Quire (quire.io/). I love it because it has a clean interface on the web browser but also on the app as well!
I love using the list to write down my to-do list, groceries, or other ideas that pop into my head. It also makes it easy to organize tasks, just drag and drop the tasks into subtasks.
They wrote a post about migrating from Asana to Quire, which helped me a lot. quire.io/free-asana-alternative-mi...

I am not ditching Asana though, they still have some features that Quire doesn't, like timeline view, but if Quire develops it someday, I will consider moving all my projects to Quire! lol
