6Wunderkinder / Wunderlist

The company's core product, Wunderlist, was a cloud-based task management application that allowed users to manage their to-do lists from various devices, including smartphones, tablets, and computers. Its business model operated on a freemium basis; a basic version of the service was offered for free, while a premium subscription, Wunderlist Pro, provided access to advanced features for a monthly fee. This premium tier was aimed at professionals and teams, offering functionalities like unlimited subtasks and file attachments. The application served a broad market, from individual users seeking personal productivity tools to small and medium-sized businesses needing a collaborative platform for task management.

Wunderlist distinguished itself through its clean interface, cross-platform synchronization, and collaborative features. Users could create lists, set due dates and reminders, and share tasks with others, making it a versatile tool for both personal and professional projects. A significant milestone for 6Wunderkinder was its acquisition by Microsoft in June 2015. The acquisition was part of Microsoft's strategy to bolster its mobile and cloud-based productivity suite. Following the acquisition, the Wunderlist team was integrated into Microsoft, and the application's technology was eventually used to develop Microsoft's own task management tool, Microsoft To Do.
