Homii vs Todoist
Todoist is a polished personal task system built for professionals. Homii's tasks belong to a household — assigned to your people, visible on the family calendar and kitchen board, connected to dinner and the shopping list.
Personal task manager for professionals
Homii brings household intelligence into tasks — assigned to your people, visible on the calendar and kitchen board — not another solo to-do app.
Homii intelligence
The real difference is context
Task apps are built for one person’s workload. Homii’s tasks belong to the household — assigned to your people and visible beside dinner, the calendar, and the list.
Assigned to your people
Give tasks to anyone in the household — kids included, no extra accounts.
Lives on the calendar
A tasks layer inside the family calendar — toggle it on when you want it.
Hands work to the list
“Buy sunscreen” moves to the shopping list; meals and events sit in the same household.
Due-today in the kitchen
Kiosk Mode shows the day’s tasks on a tablet everyone walks past.

Switching from Todoist
Recreate your projects in Homii and bring active tasks over first — most households find only the open items matter. Assign each task to a person as you go; that step is what a personal task app never asked of you.
FAQ
Can Todoist be used as a family to-do list?
It can, with effort: you share projects one by one, and every family member — including kids — needs their own account and email. Homii starts from the household: tasks belong to people you've already added, with parent-set permissions for kids.
Is Homii's task list really free when Todoist's isn't?
Homii's core family tasks are free on every plan: unlimited tasks, projects, labels, recurring to-dos and assignment. Todoist's free tier caps you at 5 personal projects; recurring power and reminders push most people to Pro at $60/yr per person.
What does Todoist do better?
Its natural-language parser and filter system are the deepest in the category, and it integrates with 90+ external tools. If you're a solo power user with no household to coordinate, it's an excellent system.
