To-do app with spread-sheet style column display?

March 13, 2024 10:32 AM

I have to-do items in several categories, and I would like to be able to view them on my laptop or iPad as a series of columns, such that one column would be one category's to-do items, so that I can see the various lists side-by-side. Do you know of an app that can do this?

I want this kind of view, where I can see multiple categories of to-do items arranged in columns by category, because it works well for my brain. I currently have Todoist, but it doesn't seem to do anything like this. (Let me know if I'm wrong.)

If there's something other than a to-do app that does this, like a project management app or something similar, I'm very open to that as I definitely have projects. I'd also consider an actual spreadsheet, if someone else has created a template.

Best answer: Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to do, Todoist has this feature. On the website, click "View" in the upper right hand corner and change from "List" to "Board".

Response by poster: OMG it's right there. And yet I had never seen it before. Perhaps it only came into being when you named it. That's a much more comforting explanation than the idea that I've just been overlooking it for a very long time.

A quick and happy resolution. Thanks!

Trello does something similar, just for another option.
