Wunderlist is a cloud-based task management application. It allows users to manage their tasks from a smartphone, tablet, computer and smartwatch. Wunderlist is free; additional collaboration features are available in a paid version known as Wunderlist Pro (released April 2013). Wunderlist was created in 2011 by Berlin-based startup 6Wunderkinder. The company was acquired by Microsoft in June 2015, at which time the app had over 13 million users.
Microsoft announced in April 2017 that Wunderlist will eventually be discontinued in favor of To-Do, a new multi-platform app developed by the Wunderlist team that has direct integration with the company's Office 365 service.
Wunderlist allows users to create lists to manage their tasks on many devices, mobile as well as desktop. These lists can be shared with other Wunderlist users. Through the "Detail View," users can add due dates (including repeating due dates), reminders, assignees, subtasks, comments, files and notes to tasks. Tasks can also be organized with #hashtags. The user adds lists to categorize tasks, and can place these lists in folders to organize their structure. Using a feature known as "Mail to Wunderlist", users can send or forward emails to me@wunderlist.com to add tasks to their Wunderlist accounts. With the company's browser and sharing extension known as "Add to Wunderlist", content from the Web can be added to Wunderlist from Chrome, Firefox, Safari, iOS and Android.
With Wunderlist Pro, several additional features can be used, including unlimited assigning, unlimited file upload size, and unlimited number of subtasks (the free version of Wunderlist allows 25 subtasks per task). Additionally, Pro users can choose from an additional 10 backgrounds.
In May 2015, Wunderlist added an API so that people can create or modify Wunderlist tasks in other apps, and get alerts for Wunderlist tasks when they're in those apps.
Users can sign in and use Wunderlist in a web browser, with no download required. Wunderlist can also be downloaded for a number of devices, including Windows 7 and 8 computers, Mac computers, Android phones and tablets, iOS (iPhone and iPad, v 7.0 and later), Kindle Fire, Chromebook, and Windows Phone. In 2015 Microsoft released Wunderlist for Apple Watch devices.
In October 2014 Wunderlist announced its first integration, with cloud storage company Dropbox. Users could now access and link their Dropbox files to their Wunderlist tasks. Later that month, a Calendar Feed feature was released for Wunderlist, allowing a user's pending tasks to appear in other calendar services such as Google Calendar, Microsoft's Outlook Calendar, Apple's Calendar, Slack, and Sunrise Calendar.
