Jun 10, 2019 Microsoft is finally bringing its To-Do app to the Mac this month. The task manager app has recently appeared on the Mac App Store, where it’s expected to be released on June 17.
- Microsoft To-Do on Mac now integrates with Microsoft Planner.
- You can change details of a task in Microsoft To-Do and have them appear in Microsoft Planner.
- The integration also works on other platforms.
Microsoft To-Do for Mac now integrates with Microsoft Planner (via OnMSFT). The integration allows you to create tasks in Planner and have them show up within a special 'Assigned to Me' section inside Microsoft To-Do.
The integration between the services goes beyond syncing details. If you look at a task in Microsoft To-Do and need to see more details such as comments and file attachments you can select 'Open in Planner' to jump into Microsoft Planner. You can read more about the integration on Microsoft To-Do's support page.
Good news for Mac users! Our Microsoft Planner integration is now available on the Mac app in the latest update (1.61). Don't use it yet? Read more about it here—https://t.co/XPr7qU6qmU. pic.twitter.com/WgjGIGSecs

Tasks created in Microsoft Planner can also show up in other sections of Microsoft To-Do if you'd like. For example, if a task has a due date, it will show up in the 'Planned' list.
Microsoft Planner is a service built for visualizing organization. You can create boards, categorize tasks, and assign tasks to people. Planner is available on iOS and Android. It requires an eligible Office 365 work or school subscription and does not work with Office 365 personal accounts.
Microsoft To-Do is free for Macs and all other platforms.
In addition to this new integration, the beta version of Microsoft To-Do for Android now supports assigning tasks in shared lists.

Microsoft To-Do syncs your tasks and lists across all of your devices, including devices running Windows 10, iOS, Android, and Mac. It supports file attachments, sharing tasks and lists, and has a clean interface.
Portable (and affordable) power accessories we love
Each and every one of these charging gadgets will keep your favorite gear and gadgets going for longer, and none of them costs more than $30.
VisionTek 8,000 mAh micro-USB power bank($13 at Dell)
This compact dual-output powerbank can speedily recharge any and all your devices, thanks to a two-amp 'fast charge feature,' using its micro-USB out port. Its simple design includes an LED indicator, and it costs about as much as a single ticket to the movies.
Panasonic eneloop AA batteries(From $13 at Dell)
Panasonic's rechargeable batteries are among the best available, and just a couple of them will keep your favorite remote, mice or other peripherals powered up when you need them. They're also eco. And the company's affordable charger fits and charges both AA and AAA batteries at the same time.
Belkin Qi Wireless Charging Pad($30 at Dell)
This unobtrusive Qi wireless charging pad looks good (and kind of like a UFO …) and easily charges all your Qi-compatible device up to 5W. Its LED indicator lights up when you're charging. And it costs just $30.

UH OHMicrosoft may have delayed Windows 10X and Surface Neo beyond 2020
Microsoft's upcoming Windows 10X and Surface Neo products may not be shipping in time for the holiday after all, according to a new report from ZDNet's Mary-Jo Foley. This means that other Windows 10X devices from third-party manufactures also won't be launching at the end of this year like originally planned. Microsoft's dual-screen Windows 10X effort has been put on pause.
I never knew this existed till they ported it to the Mac. I’ll have to try it.
The nice thing is this is not just an app port, it was built 100% with AppKit. The UI is very fluid and smooth and overall very good. It is not 100% feature parity with the Windows version but they said dark mode is coming next along with Planner integration. Plus they are working on natural language entry similar to what Todoist has, so that will be great for quick entry.Overall I will give this a try and see how it works.

I think Things is best task management tool with great balance between functionality and simplicity. As comparison, Ominfocus is too complex and this new Microsoft To-Do seems to have less features.

Things is a great app, but I wish it had a web UI and I can not share lists with Windows users. But the work they put into the app shows.[doublepost=1560868668][/doublepost]
You'd be correct. They acquired 6Wunderkinder and then they started working on this. Pretty sure Wunderlist will be sunsetted once all of its core features are in Microsoft To-Do.
Microsoft ToDo is supposed to be the foundation for all task based items in Office 365; Outlook, Planner, OneNote, etc. It has been rolling out to more and more services and yes it will sunset Wunderlist at some point.
