Todoist alternative
A simpler, calmer alternative to Todoist
Croniqs gives you everything you actually use in a task manager — list, calendar, kanban and timeline views, recurring tasks and reminders — without the clutter or the price. EU-hosted and privacy-first, from $3.99/month.
Why people switch from Todoist
Todoist is a powerful, capable app — but for a lot of people it grows busier and pricier than they need. If you mostly want a clean place to capture tasks, plan your week, and see projects on a timeline, you end up paying for features and interface you never touch.
Croniqs takes the opposite approach: a deliberately calm, minimal task manager that still gives you four ways to see the same work. No habit-tracker bolt-ons, no aggressive upsells — just structure without the noise, hosted in the EU.
Price & privacy at a glance
Croniqs Pro costs about half of Todoist Pro — on monthly and annual billing alike (Todoist raised its prices in late 2025). And your tasks stay in the EU.

Todoist alternative — FAQ
Is Croniqs a good Todoist alternative?
Yes — if you want a calmer, simpler task manager. Croniqs gives you list, calendar, kanban and timeline views of the same tasks, recurring routines and reminders, without the upsells and clutter of larger apps. Pro is $3.99/month.
Can I import my tasks from Todoist?
Yes. Croniqs imports tasks from a Todoist CSV export, so you can move your projects across without starting from scratch.
How is Croniqs cheaper than Todoist?
Croniqs Pro is $3.99/month, or $35.88/year ($19.95/year for early adopters), and includes all four views — list, calendar, kanban and timeline — plus recurring tasks, reminders and sharing. Todoist Pro is $7/month, or $5/month billed yearly ($60/year) — close to double Croniqs on either billing, and Todoist raised its prices in late 2025. There is also a free Croniqs plan with unlimited tasks.
What does Todoist do better?
Todoist has AI features, a more mature natural-language parser, polished native apps on every platform, and deeper power-user filters. If those matter most to you, Todoist may be the better fit — we think Croniqs wins on calm, price, built-in timeline view, free labels and EU privacy.
