How to create task lists with Microsoft To-Do for PC | Productivity

To-Do is a Microsoft application that allows you to create task lists on your PC. The app synchronizes the content created in the mobile version and shares lists with friends to work collaboratively. In addition, the program supports the creation of offline lists, eliminating rival solutions that only work in the browser with an always-on connection. The tool was first launched for smartphones, but is now available for Windows 10 with free download from the Microsoft Store. See how to use To-Do to manage your tasks on your computer in the following tutorial.
