Download.com staffJanuary 20, 2016

Download.com is jam-packed with to-do list programs, and most of them are more or less the same. To-Do DeskList surprised us by delivering a fresh, unusual design and just the right number of features. If you're in the market for an unobtrusive but flexible task manager, this just might be the one.

To-Do DeskList's interface is sleek and attractive. The program appears as an icon in the system tray, and when you're ready to create a new task, you simply right-click on the icon and select Add To-Do from the menu. The program lets you set each task's priority level, add detailed notes, and set an alert if desired. Each task then sticks to the desktop--you can specify which corner you prefer--displayed as a translucent rectangle that the program refers to as a leaf. The leaves get stacked on top of one another as you add them and can be ranked in order of importance; once you complete a task, they slide off the screen. We liked that you can create hot keys for adding new leaves, and can also change the program's color theme and even create themes of your own. The program's built-in Help file is thorough and more or less makes sense, although it's not the best use of the English language we've ever seen. Overall, To-Do DeskList doesn't really bring any thrilling new features to the table, but we appreciate its ability to take something as mundane as a to-do list and make it stylish and kind of fun.

To-Do DeskList installs a desktop icon without asking but uninstalls cleanly. We recommend this program to all users.

doctorbizFebruary 6, 2011

Go for it
Another on the long list of reminders or to do programs

Lost my leaves!
ZeckMarch 1, 2010
Pros
Translucent leaves on desktop.
Cons
TransLOSEnt leaves on desktop!
Summary
I cannot trust this thing. All my to-dos were gone today. Is there a time limit on completing to-dos?
More than Expected Results..
August 10, 2009
Pros
V Easy to Use Good Looks Reminders/schedulers/priorities included Works very silently in the background
Cons
Occupies more space on desktop Icons hide behind it and cannot be opened Not many customizing options to move or adjust the size, list/icon mode, etc.
Summary
The software is much more than expected from a free software. i was looking for such a thing from days n at last i found one free. Unbelievable. The only feature missing that i expected was to be able to add a deadline to a task and as the deadline nears, the color or priority gets adjusted automatically based on some set criteria.. Overall 8.5/10
Disappointed in the amount of todos shown...
Bob1019July 15, 2009
Pros
I liked the availability of the program..Memory resident and at hand.
Cons
Each leaf shows only one item... Hard to put together priorities from individual leafs.
Summary
I believe that this program could be made better by making it more of a list rather than independent leafs
Simple program for simple tasks
ronbo124July 13, 2009
Pros
Nice mouse driven commands - reminder is helpful. easy to edit and delete
Cons
Takes up a little to much desktop space when opened. Would prefer one size that I could click thru to see all the 2-dos.
Summary
Nice freeware. For a more full-featured program, I would use Notes that comes bundled with MS Office.
Effective Task Manager
McTwinsMom06May 11, 2009
Pros
Easy to add Tasks Love the color coding for priority status Easy to access and see all tasks Easy to close out tasks Love that you can schedule reminders
Cons
There are no expectations that this product does not meet for me
Summary
This product really helps me organize all of my work tasks. While on a call take-aways are a common thing and I can enter them into this product right away and not forget about them. This really helps me stay on task and focused. I have reccommended this product to others already.
Just what I've wanted!!!
misscrissyladyFebruary 2, 2009
Pros
Very easy to use. Not complex. User-friedly. Can customize skin and font size.
Cons
The cusomized skin isn't woking well for me. But I'm just sticking to the ones that are already available.
Summary
It's like a post-it note on your desktop. The boxes don't take up any of your taskbar (like when you open a new program). And you can customize it to appear on the right side, left side, top, down, etc. This is exactly what I've wanted and I love it. And best of all, its free!! I highly reccomend it if you are not looking for something too difficult. Its an easy way to remind yourself on everyday, simple, and forgetful tasks.
Brilliant, just what I needed
howardfernsJanuary 26, 2009
Pros
Simple and very effective. Not a window of lines like all the others. Not too complex. Much of it can be configured to your liking. Good help section. Totally free!
Cons
Customised fonts & colours doesn't work for me - when I try and set what I would like, I only get the default font and the dark colour. But it's only a minor thing.
Summary
Each To-Do you make appears in a little box up the side of your desktop, sorted into high priority at the top, down to low priority at the base. You can edit them, view notes you add, & they go in one click when you've done with them. Much of it can be configured - change skins, change size of the boxes, choose whether to have it display at startup or not, and so on. Updated on Jan 29, 2009Forgot to mention, you can also set it as a Reminder as well. After just a few days use, I am finding that To-Do DekList is really helping me act upon my priorities.
