In a tweet, Reber said, “ Still sad Microsoft wants to shut down Wunderlist, even though people still love and use it,” says Reber on Twitter. So in 2019, Reber offered to buy back the popular task management app from Microsoft to avoid it being shut down.

A few years later, the software giant launched its own Microsoft To-Do app. However, instead of porting Wunderlist’s codebase over to Azure, Microsoft decided to rewrite everything. Wunderlist’s API runs on Amazon Web Services. Wunderlist was founded by German entrepreneur Christian Reber. In 2015, Microsoft bought the to-do-app Wunderlist for a reported price of $100 million to $200 million. When you’re a trillion-dollar company, a million dollars is like a drop in a bucket.
