The app is now also integrated with other Microsoft apps like Outlook, Microsoft Planner, Cortana and Microsoft Launcher on Android, among others. The app also includes smart lists and a personalized daily planner that offers smart suggestions of tasks that need to be accomplished, Microsoft reminded its users, and it’s supported across a variety of platforms, including iOS, Android, Windows and Mac. The upgrade delivers a more polished look-and-feel with a wider range of backgrounds, including the Berlin TV tower theme that was popular in Wunderlist. On Monday, Microsoft unveiled another upgrade for Microsoft To Do, which hints that the Wunderlist shut down could be nearing. Microsoft had said years ago this was its intention, but also that it would hold off until it felt it has a competitive product that Wunderlist’s users would love. The team there is amazing, I’m friends with many of them. It made perfect sense, definitely the best thing that ever happened to us. Want to make one thing clear: I feel nothing but gratitude for and everyone involved in the acquisition in 2015. He even tweeted a list of upgrades he’d like to build, including features like shared folders and cross-team collaboration, among other things. The founder of Wunderlist maker 6Wunderkinder, Christian Reber, recently tweeted a desire to buy his app back from Microsoft just as the company is launching a new version of To Do.Īccording to the tweets, Reber says he’s serious about reacquiring Wunderlist and wants to make it open-source and free. With Wunderlist up and running for years alongside To Do, its founder wants to know if he can just have it back. In the case of Wunderlist, Microsoft didn’t just rebrand the app - it built a new one called Microsoft To Do.
This is a similar path as Microsoft took with email app Accompli, which later became Microsoft Outlook for mobile devices. Microsoft several years ago acquired the popular iOS app Wunderlist with the intention of building out its own list-making productivity app that brings the best of Wunderlist’s feature set to a larger group of mobile consumers.
