Todoist on your desktop, inside Franz

Todoist is where your commitments go to become a plan: the follow-up you promised in a meeting, the errand you remembered mid-thread, the project broken into the next three things you can actually do. The catch is that most of those tasks are born somewhere else, in a chat message or an email, and a task list only helps if it is right there when the commitment lands. In a browser, Todoist is one tab among many and easy to lose. Franz keeps Todoist open as a desktop tab next to the conversations where your work is discussed, so the place you capture and check your tasks is always one click away.

Tasks next to where the work is discussed

A surprising amount of your to-do list arrives during a conversation: a colleague asks for something in Slack, a client sets a date over email, you spot a loose end while reading a thread. Franz loads the full todoist.com web app as its own service tab, one click from whatever you are reading, so turning a message into a task does not mean leaving the thread or losing the tab in your browser. Your projects, labels, filters, and priorities are exactly the ones you already use, because it is the real Todoist, just docked into the window where the rest of your day happens.

A to-do list that stays in view

The point of a task manager is that it never wanders off. Because Todoist lives in the Franz sidebar with its own permanent spot, your Today view and unread count do not get buried under twenty browser tabs. You stay signed in, your filters persist, and reaching your list is a keyboard shortcut rather than a tab hunt. If you keep a personal Todoist and a work one on separate accounts, you can add Todoist more than once and give each its own tab and its own session.

Todoist on macOS, Windows, and Linux

Franz is a native desktop app for all three major platforms, and Todoist behaves the same on each: the same web app, the same login, a dependable dock or taskbar presence and fast switching to and from your other services. Whether you work on a Mac, a Windows machine, or a Linux workstation, your task list is set up identically and sits right beside the chats and inboxes where most of your tasks are born.
