The short answer
Pick Todoist for managing projects. Pick MemoryPing for never forgetting things. Todoist shines when you want boards, labels, filters, and team collaboration. MemoryPing shines when you want to type “remind me to call mom Sunday 6pm” into a chat you already have open — and have it just happen, including reminders that ping other people.

Frequently asked questions
Is MemoryPing a Todoist alternative?
Yes — for people who mainly want reminders rather than full project management. MemoryPing works entirely inside WhatsApp and Telegram, understands natural language, and needs no separate app. Todoist remains stronger for structured projects, labels, and team workflows.
Does Todoist work on WhatsApp?
Not natively. Todoist is a standalone app with its own interface. MemoryPing is built chat-first: you set, snooze, and complete reminders directly in WhatsApp or Telegram conversations.
Is MemoryPing free?
Telegram and the web dashboard are free. After a 14-day trial, Free includes 3 WhatsApp reminder deliveries and 1 Magic Inbox scan each month, with up to 3 suggestions. Upgrade to Plus for more. Plus includes 30 AI credits a month; 50 more cost ₹10 if you run out.
