Where Doozy wins
Does the work, not just tracks it. Doozy agents draft emails, file tickets, update records across your apps. Todoist tracks the task. You do the work.
Meeting capture. Doozy records system audio and turns meetings into to-dos. Todoist has voice capture (Ramble) but no meeting recording.
Approval gates. Nothing external goes out without your OK. Todoist has no approval step (and doesn't need one, since it doesn't act).
BYO keys. Pay your provider directly. Todoist bundles AI into the subscription.
Where Todoist has an edge
Simplicity. Todoist is one of the cleanest task apps ever made. If you just want a list that works, it's hard to beat.
Developer platform. API, SDKs, CLI, and MCP. Todoist treats agents as first-class users of the list.
Voice capture (Ramble). Talk and it becomes a task. Simple, no AI agent overhead.
Established. Millions of users, years of refinement, extremely reliable.
Where they agree
Both turn voice into tasks. Both have MCP for connecting AI tools. Both have free tiers. Both are well-designed and opinionated about how tasks should work.
A Monday in each tool

- Follow-up. Todoist: you write the email. Doozy: agent drafts, you approve.
- End of day. Todoist: clean list for tomorrow. Doozy: work actually done.
