TeuxDeux Review 2026

Overview

TeuxDeux is a statement about what productivity doesn't need to be. In a world of feature-packed, AI-powered, gamified task managers, TeuxDeux offers five columns — Monday through Friday — and a text input. That's essentially it. And for many people, it's exactly enough.

The design is intentionally sparse. No priorities. No tags. No projects. No subtasks. No kanban boards. No Gantt charts. You type a task, it appears in today's column, and when you complete it, you cross it off. Tasks you don't complete automatically roll forward to the next day, creating a gentle accountability system.

Markdown support adds basic formatting. You can bold text, create links, and add some structure to your entries. A 'Someday' section at the bottom holds tasks without specific dates — your parking lot for future ideas.

The visual design is beautiful in its restraint. Typography is clean, interactions are smooth, and every element feels intentional. The web app and iOS app share a consistent aesthetic that makes using TeuxDeux a calm experience in contrast to the anxiety-inducing complexity of most productivity tools.

The auto-rollover feature is beloved by users. Undone tasks moving to the next day means nothing slips through the cracks, and the accumulated pile of rolled-over tasks serves as honest feedback about whether you're taking on too much. It's psychologically effective without being gamified.

At $4/month (or $36/year) with no free plan, TeuxDeux is a premium price for extreme simplicity. You're paying for design and philosophy more than features. For users overwhelmed by tool complexity, that's valuable. For anyone with projects, teams, collaboration needs, or a desire for gamification and habits, TeuxDeux is intentionally the wrong tool. LemTask occupies the opposite end of the spectrum with gamification, habits, focus tools, and voice input.
