KeyX vs Todoist

Todoist is one of the best traditional to-do list apps. KeyX isn't trying to be a better Todoist — it's solving a different problem: when your head is full and you can't even start the list.

FAQ

Is KeyX a replacement for Todoist?
For people who struggle to even start a list, yes. Todoist assumes you already know your tasks. KeyX builds the list from a voice note and coaches you through it.
Does KeyX have projects and labels like Todoist?
No. KeyX is one focused daily checklist by design — that's the point. Fewer places for things to hide.
Can I import my Todoist tasks?
Not directly. Most people just say what's on their plate out loud and KeyX builds a fresh list in seconds.
