Magic ToDo review
A focused task-decomposition app with free core tools and $3 monthly synchronization.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Magic ToDo is a web and mobile to-do list app from Goblin Tools, designed for people who find everyday tasks overwhelming, including neurodivergent users. Its central feature automatically breaks tasks into smaller steps, while nested subtasks, effort estimation, prioritization, categories, filtering, and drag-and-drop reordering help turn a broad task into a structured list. It is available on web, iOS, and Android, with a free plan covering the core Goblin Tools website features.
Pricing is straightforward. The Free plan provides the core website features, while Goblin Tools Pro costs $3 per month with monthly billing. According to the published plan details, Pro adds cross-device web synchronization, the last 50 results on every tool, saved and reusable templates, custom tones and voice instructions, and shareable lists. The product page also lists a 7-day free trial. Mobile app-store pricing varies by platform and region, while the website lists $3, €3, and £3 per month.
Magic ToDo also fits users who want to move task lists into other tools. Exports include iCal, Markdown, Todoist, Asana, Notion, Amazing Marvin, and TickTick, giving the app a useful bridge into established planning workflows. The product page documents iCal export rather than calendar synchronization, so it is better suited to breaking down and organizing work than to acting as a full calendar or reminder system. Choose Magic ToDo if task decomposition, nested planning, and flexible exports are the priority; choose another to-do app if built-in reminder or recurring-task workflows are central to your needs.
