I can't figure out when my reminders would pop up on my Apple Watch (Series 6, watchOS 26.5) only sometime. Why would I not get a notification on my Apple Watch every time a reminder pops up on my locked iPhone? Todoist is checked under Mirror iPhone Alerts From list under Notifications inside of Watch app.
Hello, hello.
I’m very excited about the new Goals feature because it could address the absence of a top down structure, but I find it interesting that they chose “objetivos” as the Spanish translation.
“Objectives” fits “objetivos.”
“Goals” fits “metas.”
I’m speaking purely in terms of wording here, but even if you go by meaning, the page says:
“Set a goal you care about finishing – not a project, an outcome.”
The key word there is “outcome.”
I think “metas” is a more fitting translation for “outcomes.”
With all the claude code love lately, I get it. But our business is 100% Office365, and therefore copilot only.
Anyone using todoist with Copilot? I dont see a way to officially.
Really love Todoist but really would like a distinctive color change vs overdue & snoozed reminders. Not sure if there are any ppl like me but I really would like to see a visible indication when a reminder has been snoozed vs overdue in red. Either a color change or actual time stating reminder has been snoozed. This little detail really would help in understanding what happened to reminder whether we snoozed or really left it overdue 😞. Please add this minor change!
I'm very new to Todoist and has previously basically only used Github Issues as my own todo list. However, now I'm instead trying out Todoist. Right now I have a few questions.
Is there a way to view only parent tasks? As I come up with a new feature, I add that to my project. Inside that feature I frequently add sub tasks. Then in the project, all these sub tasks clutter my feature lists. I wanna only view the parent tasks preferably.
Inbox feels like its a big feature, but I rarely use it. I only see some tasks end up in their when I add them via voice etc. Why is that feature so pronounced then?
The only difference between the Project feature and the Goals feature is that a Goal is just a project with a progress tracker and deadline but isn't that all the feature a project should have? It feels like they're doing the unnecessary.
If made a project for example "Complete Report XYZ", isn't it a basic UX principle to think the user wants to add a deadline to that project and be able to track it? Why do I need to make a goal to accomplish that.
I haven't really paid attention to Todoist karma in quite some time - probably at least a couple of years - but it still feels oddly gratifying to get this notification today.
Bragging? About something not very important to me? Yeah, I guess I am 😀
I hope everyone's having a day that's exactly as productive - or unproductive - as it should be.
I'm just curious if I'm using tasks with subtasks wrong. I'll create an overall task and maybe it has five or six or 10 subtasks. I assign dates to each of the subtasks to plan the overall mini project, but then when I'm looking at a list of my tasks within a project, if I don't assign a date to the highest parent-level task, it just kind of disappears on my list. Is that normal, or is there a better way to do it? I guess there's not a way to dynamically assign a date to the project that is always the date of the next task for it.
It's reaching autistic territory of Over-Engineered todolists. Post is not even ironic. It's just life now. Am I the only one?
I’m having difficulty understanding the point of goals. Isn’t it basically a progress bar for a project? Love to hear your thoughts on good uses of this feature.
Hey everyone! I'd love to know how you're making the most of Todoist on your mobile device. I'm always looking for ways to boost my productivity and I feel like I'm not squeezing everything out of the app on my phone.
Specifically I'm curious about:
- Widgets: which ones do you use and where do you place them on your home screen?
- Shortcuts / quick capture: how do you add tasks as fast as possible without opening the full app?
- Launcher integration: are you using any specific launcher (Nova, Niagara, etc.) that plays well with Todoist?
- Automation: any Tasker, Shortcuts (iOS) or similar automations connected to Todoist?
- Other tricks: gestures, notification tweaks, lock screen setups… anything goes!
For context, I'm on Android — Google Pixel — so Android-focused tips are especially welcome, though iOS setups are interesting too for the ideas.
Thanks in advance, this community always delivers 🙌
I've been on the Pro Legacy Plan since the last price increase. I have experimental features enabled, and I received an email today about the Goals feature. So far, though, it's not available to me in the app. Will Goals ever be available for the Pro Legacy Plan? It would be a real shame if not—it's a nice feature. But it wouldn't be worth it for me to switch to the expensive subscription just for that.
Todoist has finally added integration with Claude that doesn't break every other day!!!
Hi everyone,
I wanted to share something I built mostly for myself in case it helps anyone else who was frustrated by the same things.
Todoist’s official Google Calendar integration used to let you have separate calendars for different Todoist projects, which I really liked. That went away in favor of one big “Todoist” calendar, which was a letdown, and I think a lot of other Todoist users were annoyed by that too.
Todoist still offers per-project calendar subscriptions (afaik) that you can paste into Google Calendar or other calendar apps, but in practice they can lag badly. I have seen updates take minutes and sometimes much longer, which defeats the point of trying to use a calendar to see Todoist tasks.
So I put together a small, free, and open source one-way sync service that polls Todoist and mirrors scheduled tasks into Google Calendar on a short interval, with routing rules I actually use day to day.
One-way only (currently). Google Calendar is a read-only mirror of those Todoist tasks. Editing or deleting the event in Google does not write back to Todoist. Other Google events never appear in Todoist. If you need two-way sync like the official integration, this is not a replacement for that, yet. However, I do plan to add two-way sync soon, meaning this solution could soon be a drop-in replacement for the official Google Calendar integration, but with way better functionality.
The design (especially with how the reminder label routing) matches my habits and how I use Todoist. However, the repo is open source if you want to fork or tweak behavior to suit your needs or workflow.
There is no “exclude this whole project” toggle yet, only per-task exclusion via no-calendar. This means all projects will get synced to Google Calendar as long as they contain a task with a date/time. If you need to be able to selectively exclude certain projects from having calendars in Google Calendar, this is not currently possible. However, I might add project-level exclusion at some point.
You need to be comfortable self-hosting (Docker on a homelab, VPS, or a machine you leave running). A “click connect” hosted service would be nicer for people without that background, but I am not in a place to eat hosting costs or run a multi-tenant product for strangers, and I did not want this to turn into something you have to pay me for. The README in the repo still has a basic getting started section if you want to try it.
Repo: github.com/yashpatel21/todoist-gcal-sync
Hopefully this doesn't count as self-promotion because it's free and open source. I'm not trying to make money off of anyone or promote a product. I just wanted to share with the community!
I really wanted a GitHubesque contribution graph for Todoist that could live as a small tile on my desktop.
Couldn’t find anything that felt clean/simple on Reddit or elsewhere, so I ended up vibe coding one with Claude for Mac using Electron (open sourced).
It visualizes completed Todoist tasks as a GitHub-style activity heatmap so you can actually see consistency over time, with multiple themes as well.
What better way to stay productive than adding helper tools to optimize your productivity tools. (you know how it is)
Would love to hear feedback, feature ideas, or criticism. Thanks!

Todoers, I'm back again asking for time slots. What is a time slot? Glad you asked.
On your calendar, you schedule a "task slot" - a bucket into which you can drop other tasks.
Say you have a bunch of admin tasks across several projects. Things like emails, replying to messages on Slack, etc. All of those are of the same task type. Scheduling each one is impossible since they take less than 5 mins each and your calendar will look like a mess. BUT, for a good daily plan, you need to schedule when you're going to do something.
Task slots allow you to drag and drop multiple tasks into one block on your calendar.
I genuinely think this would be a huge win for daily planning... something that Todoist has been trying to do for a while with varying degrees of success.
What do you guys think? 🤔
Although the use case is not officially supported by Todoist, has anyone attempted to use it on an e-ink Android device such as the Boox Note Air or Onyx Boox Palma? Would like to get insights on your experiences.
I’m researching how people plan their day and build habits without getting overwhelmed. What’s the hardest part for you: sticking to the plan, choosing priorities, tracking habits, or recovering after missing a day?
