A Microsoft To Do alternative that works with Google Calendar

What Rotyn focuses on

Rotyn puts your tasks, your routines and your Google Calendar events on one screen, so you plan the day around the meetings you already have.

The main differences

• Ecosystem: Microsoft To Do is built around Microsoft accounts and Outlook. Rotyn is built around Google Calendar and doesn’t connect to Outlook calendars.
• Planning the day: Rotyn’s Today screen shows your meetings next to your tasks, and Plan my day helps you pick the three things that matter (Rotyn Pro).
• Routines: recurring tasks come back on the right day, and unfinished ones wait for you to move, finish or drop them.
• Pricing model: Microsoft To Do is free with a Microsoft account. Rotyn has a free plan too, and Rotyn Pro, for the calendar, routines and more, is $39 a year in the US, with lower prices in many countries and 14 days free for new accounts.

When Microsoft To Do is the better choice

If your work runs on Outlook and Microsoft 365, Microsoft To Do fits that setup naturally and costs nothing. Rotyn makes more sense when your meetings are in Google Calendar.

Switching

Rotyn doesn’t import from other apps. Add this week’s tasks and the routines you really repeat, connect Google Calendar, and you are ready. You can export everything from Rotyn at any time.
