Todoist update brings material design makeover,themes, and easier task creation

by John_A

Todoist, an ultra-productive application that enables users to create and manage tasks easily, just received a major overhaul. The app has just been redesigned to Material Design, Google’s latest standard for Android app design.

Today, we’re bidding a (not-so-tearful) farewell to a grey, utilitarian Todoist in favor of bold color, beautiful animations, and seamless interactions. After nearly a year of code wrangling and pixel perfecting, Todoist for Android’s Material redesign is finally here!

What’s New

Quick-Add: simply tap the ‘add’ button floating at the bottom of the screen and type a task, priority, label, and due dates all in that one line. Use start and end dates to stay on top of your busy schedule.

Date Input: has been completely overhauled for Android to include Start and End dates. This will make it much easier to manage all of your super important tasks.  
Customizable Themes: created to fit your personality. You get 3 free themes(Todoist,Noir,Neutral) although to unlock the other themes you have to upgrade to a premium account.

Tablet Optimized: with a simple swipe to the left, you can schedule a task, while a right swipe will complete a task . These new gestures make the application smooth and intuitive.

Final Thoughts

The Todoist teams goal was to make an already useful tool more colorful and beautiful. The Material Redesign allowed the application to become more familiar and user friendly. The addition of being able to change themes, gesture support, and a quick add option allows users to quickly add, complete, adjust and overall be much more productive. If you have not tried out Todoist it is available for download in the Google Play Store.
