Todoist vs Pergunta, for people whose list keeps growing

Todoist is very good at capturing tasks quickly. So is Pergunta. They part ways on what happens next — whether the tool shows you everything, or refuses to.

What Todoist does

Todoist Quick Add captures tasks using natural language, including dates typed as plain text. (source, retrieved 2026-07-10)
Tasks can be organised with projects, labels, priorities, and saved filters such as a view of all priority-1 tasks due today. (source, retrieved 2026-07-10)
Todoist supports recurring due dates, list, calendar, and board views, and shared projects with assigned tasks and comments. (source, retrieved 2026-07-10)

What Pergunta does

Capture in one line — adding a task should take less effort than deciding where it belongs.
A Today list split into Now, Next, and Later, with a limit on how many things can be in progress at once.
A weekly reset that summarises what moved, what stalled, and what to drop.
Focus sessions with a fixed length, so a work block ends on the clock rather than on willpower.
Structure appears only when you ask for it: tasks work with no due date, no project, and no setup.

When Todoist is the better choice

You share projects with other people and need assignment, comments, and permissions on shared work.
You rely on saved filters and want to slice the same task list many different ways.
Your list is long but you are not overwhelmed by it. A complete view is useful to you, not paralysing.

When Pergunta is the better choice

Seeing every open task at once makes you close the app.
You want the day to be capped, not merely sorted — a limit on tasks in progress rather than a priority flag.
You fall behind and need a weekly reset that tells you what to drop, not a backlog that keeps score.

One line is enough to start. No project, no due date, no setup.
