Done vs Todoist
The AI-native Todoist alternative — where tasks don't just get tracked, they get done.
Todoist is one of the most popular to-do apps, and its natural-language capture set the standard. Done keeps that fast capture, then adds the piece Todoist doesn't: you can assign a task to an AI agent that actually does the work and reports back — instead of just reminding yourself to do it later.

|---|---|---|

| Natural-language quick capture | Yes | Yes |
| Auto-decompose a task into subtasks | Yes | Task Assist (paid plans) |
| Recurring tasks | Yes | Yes |
| Task dependencies (blocked-by) | Yes | No |
| Per-account MCP endpoint for AI agents | Yes | Official hosted MCP server |
| Time-blocks your day around your real meetings, and re-plans when one moves | Yes | Calendar sync |
| Describe a filtered view in a sentence | Yes | Filter Assist |
| Daily digest of overdue / due-today / stalled | Yes | Yes |
| Free to start | Free to start (100 AI calls/mo) | Yes |
