So, if you want to switch away from Microsoft To-Do, you’ve got options. + +Microsoft To-Do is a cloud-based task management application that lets you organize your tasks from your phone, desktop, and the web. It is available to download for Windows, Mac, and Android. + +So, if you would rather not use the web browser but a separate application, what can you do on Linux? + +Kuro to the rescue. + +### Kuro: Unofficial Open-Source Microsoft To-Do App + +![kuro todo][3] + +Kuro is an unofficial open-source application that provides you a desktop experience for Microsoft To-Do on Linux with some extra features. + +It is a fork of Ao, which was an open-source project that stepped up to become a solution for it. Unfortunately, it is no longer being actively maintained. So, I came across a new fork for it that seems to get the job done. + +![kuro todo options][4] + +Kuro provides some extra features that let you toggle themes, enable global shortcuts, and more from within the application. + +Note that this application is fairly new, but a stable release is available to try. Furthermore, the developer plans to add more themes and features in the near future. + +### Features of Kuro + +![kuro todo 1][5] + +If you tend to use Microsoft services (like Outlook), its To-Do app should be a perfect option to organize your tasks. You can even flag emails to create tasks out of it. + +With Kuro desktop client, you get a few quick features to configure that include: + +* Ability to launch the program on start. +* Get a system tray icon to quickly create a task, search, or check the available list for the day. +* Enable Global shortcut keys. +* Toggle available themes (Sepia, Dracula, Black, Dark). +* Toggle Auto Night mode, if you do not want to constantly change themes. +* Hide the tray icon, if you do not need it. +* Customize the font size as required. + +![kuro todo settings][6] + +In addition to some features, you can also access certain settings to enable/disable email notifications, confirm before deleting, and more such controls for the to-do app experience. + +Overall, the experience wasn’t terrible, but I noticed some weird graphical glitches in the user interface for a few minutes. I am not sure if it is a known issue. + +### Install Kuro in Linux + +You can find the .deb package for Ubuntu-based distributions from its [GitHub releases section][7]. + +In either case, you can also get it from the [Snap store][8] for any Linux distribution of your choice. The package is also available in [AUR][9] for Arch Linux distributions. + +The developer also mentions that a Flatpak package is on its way. So, you can keep an eye on its [GitHub page][10] for more information on that. + +[Kuro][11] + +Have you tried this already? Do you know of a better Microsoft to-do client for Linux?
