Projects and sections vs. one tree
Todoist asks you to decide early where things go: which project, which section, which label. That suits people who like a tidy filing system and want to slice their tasks many ways.
Tatask has one structure. Everything starts as a task, and any task can become a project the moment you add something under it. A project is just a task with children, so you never stop to create one first.
How you pick what to do today
Todoist builds Today from due dates. Anything dated today or earlier shows up, which works well when your days are driven by deadlines.
Tatask builds Today from stars. You choose what goes on it, so it only holds what you decided to do. Dated tasks have their own Due view, kept separate on purpose.
