Hi Matt,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and questions! I'll begin by saying we do not envision an 'ideal device' for To-Do. We aim to provide a solid and familiar (i.e. equal) experience regardless of the platform, sometimes offering some platform-specific features users of those devices come to expect.

On that note, we do offer reminders and notifications in the web app in the same way we do so in our other apps. Can you expand on the issue you're encountering?

Finally, we are working with Flow to provide a flow/trigger specific to To-Do in the near future. In the meantime, the flow/triggers for Outlook Tasks do work, as we share the same backend as Outlook Tasks in Exchange. Thanks for your patience as we work :)

Best wishes,

Timo

Thanks for sharing more information and vision, Timo! I'll have to admit to not noticing that double-clicking a task would've shown me the "Remind Me" feature I was looking for until just now; right-clicking a task gave me so many options that I didn't even think to double-click it.
