Fans of the Wunderlist cloud-based task manager will by now know that Microsoft has finally pulled the plug on the venerable service, which was launched in 2011 by a German company (Wunderkinder) before being bought by Microsoft in 2015. Users were directed instead to switch to Microsoft’s own To Do application, but while it retains many of Wunderlist’s features, it’s not the same experience – plus there’s no official client for Linux (But it said it loved Linux? – Ed).

Thankfully, project management specialist Zenkit has spied an opportunity and developed its own Wunderlist clone. Zenkit To Do mirrors the Wunderlist experience as closely as possible, aiming to replicate not just its look and feel, but the feature set, too. The application harnesses the Zenkit eco-system to provide a cut-down version of its main offering, with the promise of more to come in the months ahead. Unlike Wunderlist, not all its functionality is free, but the free tier offers more than enough for most people and that’s what we’re focusing on in this tutorial.
