A free Any.do alternative with repeating tasks included
TODO is a free to-do app with a daily pad, a weekly pad and lists, and repeating tasks are included at no cost, whereas Any.do puts recurring tasks in its Premium plan; if you want reminders on WhatsApp, location reminders or a shared family space, stay on Any.do.
Any.do is a polished planner with calendar and reminder features. TODO deliberately does less. Here is how they compare.
- Any.do's free Personal plan covers tasks, lists, reminders, a calendar and a daily planner.
- Recurring tasks, colour tags and AI features need Any.do Premium, US$4.99 per month billed annually.
- TODO has no paid plan; repeats, subtasks and shared lists are included.
- TODO connects to Claude and ChatGPT through MCP; we found no official MCP server listed on any.do.

How to move your tasks from Any.do to TODO
TODO has no import button yet, and Any.do has no official MCP server we could find, so the move is partly manual.
- In Any.do, open each list you still use.
- Connect TODO to Claude or ChatGPT using the steps on the /mcp setup page.
- Paste the list (or a screenshot of it) into the chat and ask: "Add these to a TODO list called Home, keeping the due dates."
- Set repeats again on anything that recurs.
- Without an assistant, retype only your current tasks; old completed ones rarely need moving.
