  1. No, currently there exists no to-do-applet for Unity.

    However, there are softwares for doing the same. For example, you can have a look at Nitro.

    Nitro availabe on the Software Center

    From apps.ubuntu.com:

    Nitro makes tasks management super easy and awesome. It's super fast, simple and offline and can be used without an internet connection. Nitro also packs Dropbox and Ubuntu one sync.

  2. Best Answer

    As far as I found, Getting Things GNOME! is the best one. It has an indicator applet (You need to enable in preferences)

  3. Hamster Indicator

    The Hamster Indicator helps you keep track of your tasks, like the Gnome 3 "To Do" applet.

    • Icon at the taskbar:

    • Dropdown menu:

    dropdown menu

    You can install it from the Ubuntu Software Centre:

    Or from the Terminal with the following command:

    sudo apt-get install hamster-indicator

  4. I think you might be looking for something like this.

    Tomboy Notes is perhaps the only "to do" applet for unity. Fully customisable, and can also perch into the taskbar neatly :)

  5. There exists a very small but really good application that does this task for you.

    "Todo Indicator"

    enter image description here

    It shows you your tasks directly.

    • to check you tasks you simply have to click on them
    • to add a new task, you have to click on edit todo.txt which opens your text editor.

    For further instructions have a look at: Webup8.

    There you can also find deb packages and a ppa.
