Todoist is great when you like lists. But if a list of tasks starts looking like a wall of work, DoMind gives you a more visual way to see what needs doing.
Built by a small indie team who got tired of needing five apps to manage one day. • Join the community: r/DoMindofficial - real people using DoMind, real feedback, real conversations.
Drag to explore
The idea you had while walking home. The thing you meant to research. The grocery list that's somehow in the same app as your work notes. DoMind keeps notes grouped so your shopping list isn't next to your meeting notes. Add a photo, format with rich text, search through all of it. Swipe down to save.
Make DoMind feel like yours with multiple themes and customisation options. And it speaks your language - 29 of them, including French, Japanese, Hindi, Indonesian, Spanish, and more. Use it the way that works for you.
Every year, your aunt's birthday passes and you think 'I'll do something proper next year.' You never do, because by the time it comes around again, you've forgotten when it is. Add her birthday as an Occasion in DoMind. It repeats automatically. Each year gets its own notes and photos, so over time you build a timeline of the people who matter most.
You bought concert tickets in February. The show is in October. By September you've completely forgotten the details. Add it as a DoMind Event and it sits on your timeline, visible whenever you check. After the show, add photos and notes - so you actually remember it the way it was, not just as a line on a receipt.
Your camera roll has 4,000 photos and you can't find the ones from that trip to Portugal. DoMind Moments is a private photo journal, completely separate from your camera roll, with a date and a note attached to each memory. No cloud, no algorithm, no one else seeing it. Just yours.
That dentist appointment you've been meaning to book for three months lives rent-free in your head. Put it in DoMind with a due date and it stops taking up space in your brain. Make it recurring for things that come back - quarterly reviews, monthly finance check-ins, weekly calls - and it reappears automatically.
Those woolen jumpers need washing before winter, but you only remember in March when it's too late. Set it as a repeating Chore - the right week, every year - and DoMind handles the reminder. Add a checklist for the steps, a note about the temperature setting, and never have to think about it again.
It's 8am. You open four apps to figure out what today looks like. DoMind shows you everything - habits due, chores scheduled, todos with deadlines, upcoming events - in one view, the moment you open it. Nothing to navigate. Just your day, laid out.
Todoist is one of the most respected and widely used task managers in the world. It excels at fast natural-language input, nested project folders, priority tags, and structured checklists. For professionals managing hundreds of work deliverables, it provides a powerful, text-first inventory system.
However, many people eventually encounter the wall of work problem: having thirty-seven tasks neatly written down does not mean you can see your day. When every errand, appointment, chore, long-term idea, and work assignment is stacked into a vertical list of checkboxes, your planner stops feeling like a helpful guide and begins feeling like an exhausting, endless backlog.
DoMind offers a Todoist alternative designed around a visual-first philosophy: your backlog is not your day. Instead of reducing your life to an overwhelming column of checkboxes, DoMind presents your responsibilities visually. By giving one-off Tasks, scheduled Events, recurring Chores, daily Habits, and reference Notes their own dedicated spaces, DoMind lets you keep the full inventory organized while giving you a clear, bounded view of what actually matters today.
Here are 10 real-world reasons why choosing DoMind helps you plan visually instead of drowning in lists.
Adding 30 items makes your backlog complete, but hides what you should do this morning. You need a clear boundary around today.
How DoMind fits: Focused daily overview that highlights today's commitments without pulling in the entire project backlog.
Seeing 40 incomplete checkboxes every morning triggers dread. You shouldn't start your day feeling constantly behind.
