What is Goblin Tools?

Magic ToDo is a task management tool offered by GoblinTools. It provides a variety of features for efficient task management, such as a standard to-do list, automatic task breakdown based on a user-defined "spiciness" level, task categorization with emojis, task filtering by category, and the ability to edit, remove, and add subtasks. Additionally, it offers cross-device cloud synchronization, bulk actions, customization options, task estimation abilities, and data encryption to ensure user privacy. The "spiciness level" in Magic ToDo is a user-defined scale that indicates the perceived difficulty or stress level of a task, leading to a more detailed task breakdown for complex tasks. Tasks in Magic ToDo are categorized based on emojis, with top-level tasks automatically assigned emoji categories that users can filter the list by for a personalized view. Users can manipulate tasks in Magic ToDo by editing, removing, adding subtasks, and rearranging the order of tasks by dragging associated icons.

Magic ToDo also offers various export options, including exporting to Todoist templates, iCal files, customization of the user interface, and contributes to ongoing development. It ensures privacy and data encryption by synchronizing data across devices with encryption using a unique username and password, making the list unreadable to unauthorized individuals. The tool is available on different platforms, including web and mobile apps, and synchronization is secure, with changes taking a few seconds to propagate across devices. The revenue from the mobile app purchases contributes to keeping the GoblinTools website ad-free.
