"To-do list" is very natural, I agree. But "to-do" as a substantive is a
bit weird to me. "To-do" feels empty (like: to do what?). In the source,
you could find many references to "to-do items" or "to-do tasks" instead
of just "to-dos". "To-do items" (as items on a list), in fact makes
sense. "To-do tasks", is not so good, as it is a bit redundant. Tasks is
fine too.

Whatever.
