Wunderlist goes to Microsoft

Wunderlist was my todo app. Maybe you don’t use a todo app and I admit I used one only when deep into a project and wanting to keep track of specific things I needed to do. Wunderlist was free, but there are other free todo apps. What I liked about Wunderlist was that it could be installed as a Chrome extension and it would appear any time you opened a blank tab. This seemed to be a great way for me to remind myself that I had a todo list and what happened to be on it. It was not intrusive. Most of the time I was not interested and I would just enter the address I wanted to view and that site would be loaded.

Wunderlist was purchased by Microsoft. You can migrate your Wunderlist todos to Microsoft To Do, but I want an approach integrated into Chrome. The new MicroSoft product linked from the old Wunderlist address is nice looking, but a standalone product.

I have switched to Chrome extension called Checklist for Google Tasks. It seems crude in appearance, but it works. It is triggered by a menubar icon that drops down a space within which are the todo items.
