In September, Microsoft unveiled another upgrade for To Do which hinted the Wunderlist shut down could be nearing, with the addition of new backgrounds, smart lists and a personalized daily planner offering smart suggestions of tasks to be accomplished. In the meantime, Microsoft has been working to ensure that users’ favorite features - like list groups (folders), steps (subtasks), file attachments, sharing and task assignments - made their way over to Microsoft To Do. And the company prepared Wunderlist users for the app’s inevitable closure as far back as April 2017. Some Wunderlist users may be disappointed but, to be fair, Microsoft allowed Wunderlist to operate far longer than expected, compared with how most acquisitions of this nature tend to go. After this date, Wunderlist to-dos will no longer sync, but users will still be able to import their content into Microsoft’s own To Do app. Today, Microsoft is finally announcing a shut-down date for Wunderlist of May 6, 2020.

Microsoft has for years promised it would eventually shut down to-do list app Wunderlist, which it acquired in 2015, in favor of its own app, To Do - after it felt the latter was able to offer a competitive experience that included Wunderlist’s best features.
