If you use Wunderlist, or follow Lawptimal on Twitter this is not news to you. Wunderlist sent an e-mail to its users notifying them that Wunderlist support will cease forever in favor of Microsoft’s new software, To Do, and urged users to transfer their Wunderlist data by May 6 or risk losing it all. When I heard Microsoft acquired Wunderlist, I asked myself: “Was the best to do platform about to go away?”Įven when Lawptimal covered To Do in the past the question about Wunderlist’s future was always marked with a “?”. It has recurring tasks, subtasks, due dates, reminders, is lean, and best of all, is mostly free. I have been shameless for my love of Wunderlist. How could I not be skeptical? Wunderlist has long been loved by people looking for task management software capable of handling their to-do lists and maybe integrating Getting Things Done (GTD), as I have, and do. Acquiring and basically absorbing Wunderlist into To Do was its way to go. Microsoft’s plan, I have to guess, has always been to integrate a powerful task-management platform into its ecosystem. A great tactic of businesses with extra cash is sometimes to just acquire a smaller business in the best of its class and make it part of the acquiring business’ ecosystem.
