This Device: local-only tasks
No signup. Task text stays in the browser’s local database. After an initial online load and caching, the notebook works offline in that browser. Keep the same browser profile to find your list.
Naremis vs. Todoist
A simple Todoist alternative. No sign-up or AI.
Naremis is a free Todoist alternative for people who want a personal daily list in their browser. Write tasks, put them in order, and let unfinished work roll forward. Local use needs no account, project setup, or AI assistant.
Start with today’s work, without sorting a project system.
Imagine you have three concrete things to do: review a draft, call a supplier, and send an invoice. In Naremis, write those three lines on today’s page and put the most useful next action first. There is no project or label to choose before a task belongs on the list.
This is a fit for personal execution, not a replacement for a shared backlog. If your list depends on assigning work, filtering across several projects, or tracking repeated obligations, Todoist’s broader structure earns its place. You can also keep project planning elsewhere and use Naremis for your own daily actions.
Naremis vs. Todoist: what is included?
The crosses in Naremis’s column are deliberate product choices. Read the conditions alongside each check; an integration or paid feature is not the same as a built-in free feature.

|---|---|---|
| Starting point | Free under the current offer. No account for local browser use; optional free Sync. | Free Beginner account; paid Pro and Business plans add capacity and features. |
| Daily workflow | One dated list, manual order, unfinished-task rollover, and read-only history. | Projects, list and board layouts, filters, labels, and task assignments; availability depends on plan. |
| Recurring tasks | Not included: Deliberately absent Rollover continues unfinished work. It does not create a new repeating obligation. | Included: Recurring due datesSource for Todoist: Recurring due dates |
| Reminders | Not included: Deliberately absent Your list waits for you to return. There are no task notifications to configure. | Included: Task reminders; options vary by planSource for Todoist: Task reminders; options vary by plan |
| Shared tasks or workspaces | Not included: Deliberately absent This is your daily notebook, without assignments, comments, or team administration. | Included: Shared projects and assigned tasksSource for Todoist: Shared projects and assigned tasks |
| AI task features | Not included: Deliberately absent You write the tasks and choose their order. Naremis has no AI assistant or AI processing of task text. | Available with conditions: Todoist Assist; plan limits applySource for Todoist: Todoist Assist; plan limits apply |
| Storage and offline scope | Local browser storage; offline after initial loading and caching. Optional Sync stores a cloud copy. | Todoist is an account-based service. This comparison does not claim that Todoist lacks offline support or that its security is inadequate. Naremis’s specific offer is an account-free local browser notebook. |
A check means available; conditions are stated in the cell. A cross means absent. A dash means unverified, not absent. This is a comparison of workflows, not a security ranking.

Sync: an optional cloud copy
Google sign-in enables Naremis Sync and imports your local notebook. Task data is stored in Naremis’s synchronized service. Sync needs a connection and is not end-to-end encrypted.
Know what local-only means
Clearing site data or losing the device can permanently remove local-only tasks. Local storage is not a backup or a promise of protection from someone with access to your device.
Naremis has no AI processing of task text. Optional usage analytics require consent and exclude task content. Read the privacy policy, analytics policy, and offline storage explanation.
