• Wunderlist (not dead)
We were prepared for Acompli's untimely demise. Mailbox suffered a similar fate and we had an excellent list of alternatives.
Sunrise shutting down was harder to take. A collection of well intended Sunrise alternatives was prepared, but it became clear that Sunrise would never be forgotten or replaced.
Then there was Wunderlist. The cloud-based task management app was the pride of Berlin tech. It was beautifully designed and loved by its fans. In April, it was announced that Wunderlist would be shutting down in favor of Microsoft To-Do, a new app by the Wunderlist team. We were optimistic, but had a list of 68 Wunderlist Alternatives ready.
Today, six months later, and Wunderlist is still here, alive and well! We dug deep into the interwebs and found a response from a Wunderlist customer support representative:
"We don’t have a date for closing Wunderlist’s service yet, so you can continue to use it for now, even though we recommend everyone to also check out Microsoft To-Do." – Marcel, 9/11/2017

You are welcome to try one of the 68 Wunderlist alternatives, but we believe that Wunderlist is an internet treasure – an app too important to shut down or be deserted. And so, it's time to add to your to-do list the simple task of re-installing Wunderlist today.
We asked 34 customers what Viktor does for them. Not one said chatbot.

They kept using words like colleague, coworker, team member. One CEO called it the glue holding their e-commerce business together, which is a lot, but also… you see why. It lives in Slack and plugs into 3,000+ tools, so instead of jumping between tabs, you just ask for the thing. Pull Stripe against HubSpot, check Sentry alerts, spin up a campaign brief, build a landing page, send a report upstairs. It all happens there.
It has already hit top 5 on Product Hunt with 130 comments, is SOC 2 certified, and your data does not train models.One user said it was the first time AI felt like a real coworker, which is either exciting or slightly concerning depending on your week.
