Frequently asked
Wunderlist alternatives FAQ
- Is Wunderlist still available?
- No. Wunderlist was acquired by Microsoft in 2015 and the service was shut down on 6 May 2020. The Wunderlist website and apps are no longer accessible, and your task lists are no longer available through Wunderlist. Microsoft directed users to Microsoft To Do as the replacement, and Wunderlist's founders later launched Superlist as a separate successor.
- What is the best Wunderlist alternative?
- Microsoft To Do is the official replacement and the closest match for former Wunderlist users, with a free tier, My Day planning and Outlook integration. Todoist and TickTick are the strongest independent alternatives with better natural language input and more features. Super Productivity is the best free open source option, and Vikunja is the best self-hosted alternative.
- Can I recover my Wunderlist data?
- No. Wunderlist shut down in May 2020 and the service is no longer accessible, so there is no way to recover your task lists through Wunderlist. If you exported your data before the shutdown, you can import it into another task manager. Microsoft To Do did not automatically migrate Wunderlist data, so anything not exported before the shutdown is gone.
- Is there a free Wunderlist alternative?
- Yes. Microsoft To Do is completely free with a Microsoft account and includes My Day, shared lists, reminders and Outlook integration. Google Tasks is free with a Google account, and Apple Reminders is free on Apple devices. Super Productivity is free and open source on desktop, and Vikunja is free to self-host. Todoist and TickTick also have free tiers with limits.
- What should I check when replacing Wunderlist?
- Check whether you relied on shared lists, since that is the feature most former Wunderlist users miss and support varies between alternatives. If you want the closest experience to Wunderlist's simplicity, Microsoft To Do is the natural choice. If you want more power, Todoist and TickTick add natural language input, calendar views and habit tracking. Finally, note that Wunderlist data cannot be recovered, so any migration starts from scratch or from an old export.
