I use Google Keep for this. Works well enough. When Microsoft bought Wunderlist I moved away from it as I guessed it would be replaced by a lesser product (at least initially) and probably folded into Office 365.
I mustn't be the only who thinks it's ironic to move to a Google product/service in hope of avoiding something disappearing. ;)
Damn, now I need to move faster. My app must be ready by the time they close Wunderlist. I expected an eventual closure, but not that soon. I've spent the last two years developing a todo app that would be a good replacement for Wunderlist (and Astrid, if anyone still remembers that). The app will include with some major / critical features both those apps lacked: proper hierarchies / first-class subtasks, automatica…
And somewhere in several years it'll grow big.
And Microsoft or Apple will buy it.
And someone will need to move faster to release his to-do, which is much better, of course.

Would you be willing to share the alpha? I've been a long time fan of wunderlist and just put a ton of things into it for an upcoming move. Kind of bummed it's being shut down and would love to try yours out.

It's pretty much a replica of the original app. It's being developed by the same team that made Wunderlist as in Chad Fowler and company (he has a larger portfolio now). Most of these comments are probably unnecessary. The original team still works at MSFT The app is simply a rebrand that's trying to add additional features over time. https://www.linkedin.com/in/fowlerchad/
It is not a replica of Wunderlist. I'm a long time Wunderlist user, and Microsoft To-Do only implements a subset of the Wunderlist features. It's close, but several important organizational features, like sub tasks and nested lists/projects are not there.
I know have to help my wife migrate from Wunderlist. This will not be fun.
Argh. My partner and I use Wunderlist daily for shared shopping lists. This endless churn of apps shutting down is so frustrating :(

I really miss Sunrise, have you found a good replacement for it?
Not OP, but as an iOS alternative I use Fantastical, but lacks several important features that Sunrise had. Still looking for a real alternative.
It's not really killed. The original Sunrise, Accompli and Wunderlist teams still work at MSFT and they're working on their new apps respectively (Javier runs all of Outlook now). And Chad Fowler (former CTO of Wunderlist), and company are behind the pivot to To-Do. It's the exact same application. I've been beta testing it and it just has few additional features that will show up over time. It's really just a rebran…
As someone who works closely with these teams within Microsoft, I can say that these team members are having a huge, positive impact on the Office division.

Something else that was critical is that I could use Cortana to add tasks to lists while driving or without typing on the keyboard.
I think when I want to go deeper in organizing tasks, todo apps are often bad for that simply because a document format tends to do better once you're in the thick. It's better if those things are stored, tracked and organized with the work itself most of the time and todo apps tend to be outside that context.
