“Lists”, Microsoft’s task management app that was originally
launched in 2020 to businesses and enterprise users, is now available to everyone
who owns a Microsoft account.
On Microsoft Lists, users can create and manage their tasks such as tracking finances, creating recipes, listing gift ideas, and more. These lists can also be shared across devices with others who can view or contribute to them. To make them easy to import to other apps or services, lists can be exported to CSV files too.
Within the app are also ready-made templates that make
creating the lists easy, configurable color formatting, and even the ability to
create alerts and processes. The lists are displayed in a basic grid-like format
by default including rows and columns, which can be changed to a calendar or
gallery view as per the user’s need. Gallery view is typically helpful with lists
that include images, while the calendar view would particularly help with
highlighting dates.
Microsoft Lists is a free to use app, available on iOS and
Android devices, as well as desktop. The service is also directly accessible within
Microsoft Teams.
