TeuxDeux review 2026: the calm weekly list that avoids feature creep
TeuxDeux resembles a paper week that happens to sync. Tasks sit under days, unfinished work rolls forward, and the app resists the urge to become a database, chat room or AI assistant. Its restraint is the main feature.
TeuxDeuxOur take
Is it worth using?
TeuxDeux is excellent for people who want one calm weekly view and very little system maintenance. It costs $3 per month when billed annually or $4 month to month after a free week. Choose it for a personal plan, not for collaboration, complex projects or heavy reminder workflows.

What users report
What starts to matter after a week
We read recent reviews for TeuxDeux to look for praise and friction that product pages leave out. They are anecdotes, not a vote, so they challenge our testing rather than decide the verdict.
A long-time user credits TeuxDeux’s low-maintenance week view and automatic rollover with helping them manage two jobs. Another says the lack of new features is precisely why they keep returning to it.

- Main weakness
- Little support for deep projects or collaboration
- Platforms
- Web and mobile apps
- Best alternative
- Things 3 for projects; Structured for a timed day
The whole week is the organizing system
Each day has a column. Add the task where you expect to do it, glance across the week and stop. There is no need to invent labels before the list becomes useful.
This feels closer to a paper planner than a database. It is particularly good when the main question is not “Which project owns this?” but “Which day can hold it?”
Automatic rollover removes a small daily punishment
Unfinished tasks move to the next day instead of becoming a red overdue pile. That does not make the original plan realistic, but it removes the clerical work of rescheduling every loose end.
One reviewer credits that low-maintenance behavior with helping them manage two full-time jobs. Another says the absence of constant new features is why they keep returning.
The lack of features is carefully chosen, not accidental
Recurring tasks, search, focus mode, highlights and mobile access cover the core routine. There are no deep project hierarchies, custom reporting dashboards or elaborate collaboration controls.
People who enjoy building systems may find TeuxDeux frustrating. People who abandon apps because the system becomes another responsibility may find the same limitation protective.
The subscription pays for continuity rather than breadth
The official price is $3 per month billed yearly or $4 month to month, with the first week free. That is modest compared with automated planners but still recurring payment for a deliberately small feature set.
The fair question is whether the week view remains in daily use. If it replaces a paper ritual and reduces upkeep, the price is easy to understand. If you need projects or reminders, paying will not add them.
Flaws, but not dealbreakers
A task can roll forward for days without forcing a decision, and a week view does not show whether work fits into the hours between meetings. The mobile experience also cannot provide the same wide glance as a desktop.
TeuxDeux makes a strong editorial choice and keeps it. That clarity is rare enough to recommend, provided the weekly list is the workflow you wanted in the first place.
Good to know
A few common questions
Is TeuxDeux free?
It offers a free first week, followed by a subscription. The official site currently lists $3 per month billed annually or $4 billed monthly.
What happens to unfinished TeuxDeux tasks?
They roll forward to the next day, which is one of the app’s defining behaviors.
Does TeuxDeux support teams?
It is primarily a personal planner. Choose a collaboration-focused task app for assignments and shared project discussion.
