What is Microsoft To Do?
Microsoft To Do is a productivity app for managing tasks, reminders, and lists on Mac and across other devices. It helps users plan daily work, track personal to-dos, and keep important tasks organized in one place. You can create multiple lists for different projects or routines, add due dates and reminders, break tasks into steps, and keep notes with each item. The app also supports shared lists for collaborating with other people on shopping, home, school, or team tasks. For Microsoft 365 users, Microsoft To Do integrates with Outlook Tasks so flagged emails and task data can stay connected across workflows. It is available on Mac, Windows, iPhone, Android, and the web, making it useful for people who want their task lists to sync between devices.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Microsoft To Do is a legitimate Microsoft task app. Signing in is expected because tasks sync through your Microsoft account or Microsoft 365 services, and network access is consistent with that purpose. Depending on how you use it, the app may process account details, usage data, diagnostics, and task content as part of syncing and collaboration. If you use a work or school account, remember that task data may be governed by your organization's Microsoft 365 policies.
Recommendation: Keep Microsoft To Do if you use it for task management, reminders, shared lists, or Outlook-linked planning. If you no longer use the app, you can remove it without affecting macOS, but you may lose convenient access to synced task lists on this Mac until you reinstall it or use the web version.
