Microsft To-do for Mac was recently released by the tech giant and will allow Apple users to access the task management tools on their desktop. The To-do App for Mac will give users a range of abilities including offline working, access to "My Day" to view upcoming tasks and the ability to share to-do lists with others. Additionally, users will be able to see flagged emails. However, the app is not entirely compatible with Microsoft Planner, but Microsoft has indicated that will change shortly.
Some users found early interactions of Microsoft To-do for Mac to be not as expansive as the Windows version, but Microsoft has since added features like subtasks and list sharing. The app can also sync to Outlook so that users can integrate their email into the productivity-focused app.
