Microsoft has set to discontinue the could-based task management app Wunderlist on May 6th, 2020, to be migrated to its To-Do app.
After May 6th, users’ to-dos will no longer sync, but they will still be able to import lists, tasks, and other content into Microsoft To-Do.
Founded in 2011 by Berlin-based startup 6Wunderkinder, Wunderlist was acquired by Microsoft in 2015, at which time the app had over 13 million users.
In a blog post, Wunderlist said they would no longer accept new Wunderlist sign-ups. However, users can switch to Microsoft To-Do accounts to enjoy the latest technologies and updates.
Wunderlist is encouraging its users to switch to the Microsoft To-Do app, saying, “we’re confident in To Do being the best alternative for Wunderlist now, and so we believe it’s the right time to make the next move.”
Watch Wunderlist’s latest videos ever explaining the move, bidding farewell to their app, and welcoming Do To.

No no no no….😭 My precious @Wunderlist is going away. My whole life is organized in there. Send me your fav cloud-based to do list app recommendations, friends. No Microsoft products.🙅🏻♀️ #Productivity

@MicrosoftToDo Sad to see @Wunderlist go, but already making the move to To Do. Seems like sync isn't working, though?

As if the world isn't crazed enough right now, I just got notification that Wunderlist is shutting down in May, with Microsoft To Do as its successor.
Please stop, my head and heart can't handle this. 😰

Some others are excited about To Do
To Do is fantastic, I have been using it for a long time. Sync has been flawless for me, so just do the regular troubleshooting and I bet it will shake out.
