# Todoist for Windows: one list, every device *Updated 2026-09-27 · Published 2026-09-16 · Matthew Blode* Todoist has a Windows app, but personal, work, and family still sit in separate projects. Keep them in one list on Windows, the web, and iPhone. Start free. --- > **TL;DR:** Todoist has a Windows app, but personal, work, and family still sit in projects and filters you maintain. Done Bear keeps them in one list on Windows, the web, and iPhone, where assistants can read and add tasks too. Stay for integrations, quick add, or karma. Otherwise, [start free](/sign-up) and preview a CSV first. ## Personal, work, and family in one list Work is one project. Home is another. Family sits in a third, or in a filter you rebuilt last month. Todoist already ships a Windows app, and on it, joining those back up is part of every day. Done Bear keeps personal, work, and family in one list. The same account opens on the [Windows app](/windows), the [web app](/web), macOS, Linux, and iOS. The Windows app needs a connection to start, because it loads the Done Bear web app. Once it's open, it keeps a copy of your tasks, so you can keep working if the connection drops. | Path | Windows app | Personal, work, and family | | --------- | ----------- | --------------------------------- | | Todoist | Yes | Projects and filters you maintain | | Done Bear | Native app | One list | ## Built-in GTD views Todoist shapes the list with filters, labels, and custom views you maintain. When a filter drifts, you fix it before you can trust the list again. Done Bear ships five GTD views as its navigation: Inbox, Today, Upcoming, Anytime, and Someday. The same structure opens on Windows, the web, and your phone.

They are in the Windows app too. Select the image to see it full size._ ChatGPT and Claude can read this list and add tasks to it, so there's no second list for an assistant to keep. ## Stay on Todoist for integrations, quick add, and karma Stay on Todoist if you rely on its integration catalog, natural-language quick add, or karma. Stay if you need Android this week: Done Bear has a [waitlist](/android), not a store listing. Stay if Todoist's hosted MCP connector is why the list lives there. TickTick is the better stay if you want a calendar, habit tracker, and Pomodoro timer next to the list. ## Preview a CSV before anything is written Export one Todoist project as CSV from the web or desktop app, or a Pro or Business ZIP backup of active projects. In Done Bear on the web, open **Settings**, then **Import**, choose Todoist, and upload the file. Nothing is written until you confirm the preview. Sections are not imported. Their tasks land in the project, without the section name. Extract the files from a ZIP before uploading. The [Todoist export guide](/guides/how-to-export-your-todoist-data) has the full walkthrough. This post does not repeat the steps. The [Todoist migration page](/migrate/todoist) maps what each concept becomes. If you searched because Things has no Windows app, that is [Things 3 for Windows](/blog/things-3-for-windows). This post stays on Todoist. The longer comparison is on [Todoist alternatives](/todoist-alternative). The [download page](/download) covers native install, and [how local-first works](/local-first) covers offline use. [Start free](/sign-up) and keep this list. No card. Free up to 250 tasks. Current limits are on the [pricing page](/pricing). One list. Every device. ## Frequently asked questions ### Does Todoist have a Windows app? Yes. Todoist ships apps for Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad, Android, Apple Watch, and Wear OS, plus the web.
