Comparison
Kavro vs Todoist
Both apps help you get things done. The difference is how. Todoist is a deep, project-driven task manager built for power users; Kavro is a lightweight weekly planner for people who think in days, not projects.
This page reflects our best read of Todoist as of 2026. Their feature set may have moved on.
How they compare
When Kavro is the right call
- You plan a week at a time and want the week itself to be the interface.
- You don't need projects, sub-tasks, or shared assignees.
- You like roll-over to be visible - not silently hidden in a feed.
- You want a planner that gets out of the way, not one that wants you to configure it first.
When Todoist is the right call
- You manage many ongoing projects with sub-tasks and dependencies.
- You need genuine two-way calendar sync.
- You rely on native desktop and mobile apps, not the browser.
- Their natural-language recurrence (“every other tuesday”) is core to your workflow.
Common questions
Can I import my Todoist tasks?
Not yet directly. Kavro has a JSON import on the free plan, but no Todoist-format import. If you want to migrate, exporting your active tasks from Todoist and pasting them into Kavro day-by-day is the fastest path - and most users find that the act of replanning week-by-week is healthier than a 1:1 import anyway.
Does Kavro have projects?
No, by design. Kavro replaces projects with two ideas: the week (everything you're planning to do soon) and backlog lists (everything you might do someday). If you need genuine multi-project coordination with sub-tasks, dependencies, and shared assignment, Todoist is the better fit.
Why is Kavro cheaper?
We don't have native apps, we don't have a sales team, and we deliberately keep the feature surface small. £15/year reflects the actual cost of running the service plus a margin we can sustain - not what we think the market will pay.
Is Kavro better than Todoist?
It depends on how you think. If your week is the right unit of planning, Kavro is faster, lighter, and gets out of the way. If you genuinely need projects, sub-tasks, labels, and filters, Todoist is the right tool - and we'd rather you use the right tool than reach for ours.
Does Kavro have native iOS or Android apps?
Not yet - Kavro is a web app. The mobile web experience is properly designed for thumb-driven use (swipe right to complete, swipe left to delete, large tap targets, bottom-sheet AI assistant), and you can add it to your home screen as a PWA so it behaves like a native app. Native shells are on the longer-term roadmap.
What about offline support?
Tasks you create while signed out are stored in your browser's localStorage and persist offline. For signed-in users, the planner reads from a local cache on cold load and syncs to the server in the background, so brief connectivity drops don't block you. A full offline-first sync model is a future improvement.
Can I share tasks with a partner or team?
Not today. Kavro is a single-user planner - every task is yours, no shared inboxes, no assignees. If shared planning is a hard requirement, Todoist's team plan handles that well. We may revisit this as a Pro feature later, but only if we can do it without compromising the simplicity of the single-user case.
