A Todoist alternative with goals, a focus timer and exam tracking

Last updated 8 November 2026.

Life Organiser is a good Todoist alternative if you want your task list, goals, events, notes and focus timer in one app instead of several. Todoist is a very good task manager. Life Organiser trades some of that task-only focus for a wider planner, and it can import your Todoist tasks from a CSV export.

Who it is for

How it works

Export your tasks from Todoist as CSV.
Sign up to Life Organiser and use the task import to bring them in. Import only adds tasks and never changes what is already there.
