Todoist is a productivity application that enables users to create and manage tasks easily, and it just received a major overhaul. The app has just been redesigned to meet Google’s Material design guidelines.
[blockquote author=””]Today, we’re bidding a (not-so-tearful) farewell to a grey, utilitarian Todoist in favor of bold color, beautiful animations, and seamless interactions. After nearly a year of code wrangling and pixel perfecting, Todoist for Android’s Material redesign is finally here! [/blockquote]
What’s New
Quick add tasks by taping the FAB (floating action button) at the bottom of the screen. Then type a task, priority, label, and due dates all in that one line. Use start and end dates to stay on top of your busy schedule.
[row][double_paragraph]Date input has been completely overhauled for Android to include start and end dates. This will make it much easier to manage all of your super important tasks.  [/double_paragraph][double_paragraph] Themes were created to fit your personality. You get 3 free themes(Todoist,Noir,Neutral) although to unlock the other themes you have to upgrade to a premium account. [/double_paragraph] [/row]
Gestures were added for a smoother and more intuitive experience. With a simple swipe to the left, you can schedule a task while a right swipe will complete a task .
