How Tasker is different
Ukrainian from the buttons to the bot
Tasker’s app, hints and bot are in Ukrainian and English, and the bot understands everyday language. Text it “remind me tomorrow at 9 to call the bank” — and tomorrow at nine the reminder arrives. Todoist’s interface has no Ukrainian, and it doesn’t recognize dates typed in Ukrainian; its Ramble voice tool does understand Ukrainian.
Add tasks straight from Telegram
You can text Tasker’s bot or send it a voice message — it creates, moves or completes the task itself. Saw a channel post about a doctor’s appointment? Forward it to the bot. In advanced mode the post becomes an inbox item with a link to the source, and a photo or PDF becomes an attachment. Todoist has no Telegram bot of its own; its integration directory lists a third-party one.
Reminders arrive in Telegram
Tasker’s reminders come to Telegram with buttons: mark as done, or snooze for 10 minutes, an hour, 3 hours or a day. You’re in a meeting and “pick up the parcel” pops up — one tap, and it comes back in an hour. In the morning you can get your day’s plan in one message. This is free in both modes. In Todoist, automatic reminders for tasks with a date and time are free; custom ones are on paid plans.
GTD lists come ready-made
In advanced mode Tasker has an Inbox with Sort out buttons, a Today screen, Waiting for a reply, Keep track of and Remember lists, and a target date with an early warning. Asked a colleague to send a document? Put it in Waiting for a reply, and it stays on that list until you tap Received. In Todoist you build such lists yourself from labels, filters and projects, and there’s a ready template for that.
Common questions
Is Tasker free?
The basic mode is free; the advanced mode is ₴49 a month (about $1). The basic mode has tasks, reminders in Telegram and by email, recurring tasks and a bot that understands everyday language and voice messages. Inbox, Today, the calendar grid, projects, target dates and attachments are in the advanced mode.
Is Todoist available in Ukrainian?
No, as of November 10, 2026, Ukrainian isn’t among Todoist’s 19 interface languages. It doesn’t recognize dates typed in Ukrainian, while its Ramble voice tool does understand Ukrainian. Tasker’s app, hints and bot are in Ukrainian and English.
Does Todoist have a Telegram bot?
Todoist has no Telegram bot of its own; its integration directory lists a third-party bot, “Send to Todoist”. In Tasker the bot is part of the app: it adds tasks from text and voice messages and sends reminders and your day’s plan.
Is the free Todoist plan enough?
It depends on how you plan. The Beginner plan has up to 5 personal projects, 3 filters and automatic reminders only, with no calendar view and no deadlines; the board view, repeats and shared projects are included. What each plan includes is on Todoist’s pricing page.
Can I move my tasks from Todoist?
Not yet: Tasker has no import. Todoist can export a project as a CSV file, but Tasker can’t read it — you’ll need to add your tasks by hand, in the app or by texting the bot.
Can I use both?
Yes, you don’t have to delete Todoist to try Tasker. For example, keep shared projects with colleagues in Todoist and your personal tasks and reminders in Tasker. The two don’t sync with each other.
