Microsoft To Do (previously styled as Microsoft To-Do) is a cloud-based task management application. It allows users to manage their tasks from a smartphone, tablet and computer. The technology is produced by the team behind Wunderlist, which was acquired by Microsoft, and the stand-alone apps feed into the existing Tasks feature of the Outlook product range.

History

Microsoft To Do was first launched as a preview with basic features in April 2017.{{Cite web|url=https://www.wunderlist.com/blog/your-preview-of-microsoft-to-do/|title=Your Preview of Microsoft To-Do|website=www.wunderlist.com|access-date=2018-12-19|archive-date=2020-11-11|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201111203929/https://www.wunderlist.com/blog/your-preview-of-microsoft-to-do/|url-status=dead}} Later more features were added including Task list sharing in June 2018.{{Cite web|url=https://www.wunderlist.com/blog/new-in-microsoft-to-do-list-sharing-and-steps/|title=New in Microsoft To-Do: List Sharing and Steps|website=www.wunderlist.com|access-date=2018-12-19|archive-date=2020-09-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200901030714/https://www.wunderlist.com/blog/new-in-microsoft-to-do-list-sharing-and-steps/|url-status=dead}}

In September 2019, a major update to the app was unveiled, adopting a new user interface with a closer resemblance to Wunderlist. The name was also slightly updated by removing the hyphen from To-Do.{{Cite web|url=https://www.zdnet.com/home-and-office/work-life/microsoft-redesigns-to-do-to-make-it-look-more-like-its-wunderlist-predecessor/|title=Microsoft redesigns To Do to make it look more like its Wunderlist predecessor|last=Foley|first=Mary Jo|website=ZDNet|language=en|access-date=2019-09-09}}

In May 2020, Microsoft officially closed the doors on Wunderlist, ending its active service in favor of improving and expanding Microsoft To Do.{{Cite web |last=Simmons |first=Sidney |date=2023-08-19 |title=Wunderlist – The Rise and Fall |url=https://saasmart.org/project-management/wunderlist-the-rise-and-fall/ |access-date=2023-08-26 |website=SaaSmart}}
