About Microsoft To Do
Microsoft To Do is a task management app from Microsoft for keeping personal and shared to-do lists. Its My Day view lets users pick the tasks they intend to complete on a given day, and lists can be shared so that family, friends or colleagues can work through them together.
Tasks sync with Outlook, which makes the app a lightweight option for people who already work in Microsoft 365 or Outlook. It is a hosted Microsoft service used through a Microsoft account on the web and in apps for common platforms, and there is no self-hosted version.
