Todoist

Todoist takes a typed sentence like "post the newsletter every Tuesday at 9" and turns it into a scheduled recurring task, which is the feature the whole product is built around. Five projects on the free account is enough for one person running one operation. Paying raises the limits, adds reminders and calendar layouts, and opens filters that make a large list usable. Teams get their own tier above that, and none of it tries to be a project management suite.

Beginner is free with five personal projects, quick add, reminders, list and board layouts and three filter views. Pro at $5 per user a month, or $60 billed yearly, raises the limits and opens filters properly. Business at $8 per user, or $96 yearly, adds the team features. Both cadences are printed on every card and prices are shown in thirteen currencies.

One person managing a publishing rhythm and the admin around it, who wants capture to be instant and does not want to be sold a project management methodology. Recurring tasks are the reason it fits creative work. A team coordinating dependencies and handoffs will find it too simple, and should buy something with a board and a timeline in it.
