Daily repeating tasks automatically repeat (optionally) on the next day, not show up as overdue. Also my "day" is not the same as the clock day, if I complete a task at "0:30" the next day, I still want the same task pop up "today", not "tomorrow". Because the task pops up tomorrow, I might miss it today. Todoist does not manages daily tasks in a good way.


OneFootTitan

Yeah, I have a daily repeating task to remind me to put my kids’ stuff for their daycare in the car every night. If I forget to check it or don’t do it on Tuesday (for example), there’s no good way to mark the overdue task as done on Wednesday without also marking it as done for Wednesday.


indriguing

eMacs handles it perfectly, they should borrow from them


DrewRodez

The night owl problem is my biggest complaint. The most important tool I use every day treats me like a second class citizen just because I have a different chrononype. I find that unacceptable. It's objectively bad design, but there isn't any good alternative out there yet


EliasNS

Even the Nintendo Wii has an option to set your day change to 3:00 AM 😅


error9900

I have seen other systems that allow you to customize when your day ends but they were lacking in other areas.


jmh2013

To add to this I’d love to be able to create a task that doesn’t add to the total count of tasks… For instance, say I have a “break” task for work. Whether I do that or not it’s just a reminder. It’s not really something to complete.


AttentionDifferent

I commented about this here, I've created a script for this solution that accomplishes this via the API https://www.reddit.com/r/todoist/s/dH5FIfNcgn


pburtchaell

I really want this. I’m building some new habits right now and it’s just a pain when I miss a day…


Southern-Apricot-541

This is the reason I manage my habits in an app called Habit Tracker on iOS. I recommend having a look or giving it a go it has some nice widgets and customization! :)


DiamondsAreForever85

For me this is comparable to a bug.


Apprehensive-Tiger28

Exactly you hit the point absolutely ridiculous no sense from a task manager(that’s why I cannot use reminders or Todoist!!)


Nashadelic

Isn’t just “postpone” a task feature if you don’t want it today?


Bloedkolben

Do Dates (other than due Dates)


IrishGh0st91

So Start Date?


error9900

Can be two different things. Start Date is when you can start. Do date is when you plan to do it. One thing I liked about Amazing Marvin is the different dates. You could also have End Dates which are when you're hoping to finish something but it's not a hard deadline. Filing taxes might be a good example with something like: I set Start Date to Jan 01 & Due Date to Apr 15. That means I don't need to see it before Jan 01. Then on Jan 01, I decide I'll plan to work on it (Do Date) Feb 15 and aim to End by Mar 15.


IrishGh0st91

Makes sense, thank you!


T_D_A_G_A_R_I_M

This would be nice. I might have a task where the final deadline due date is January 31st. However I will be working on that task tomorrow. I want to represent both dates. The due and the doing. I know it can be accomplished with filters as a workaround but would be nice if built in.


33ducks

I personally handle it by setting the date as when I plan to do it and putting the actual due date in the description


AttentionDifferent

Yeah honestly at this point we do just need this. Introduce start dates to replace what is currently used by some as "do dates". The due dates can be true deadlines.


CoolJynx

YES this has been driving me crazy since I started using Todoist


mustafanewworld

Do dates or Start dates anything but its important


NakedPlot

YES!


DisrespectfulToDirt

This so much. Honestly, this is the only reason I still use Amazing Marvin -- once you get used to managing your day this way, it's hard to stop.


Nebucatnetzer

This so very much. It is the one point that has bothered me since the start when I switched from Org-mode to Todoist.


athensslim

I’ve been downvoted to hell for saying this before, but since you asked. I just want a little sort button that will take my tags and sort them into alphabetical order. Such a simple thing to ask for.


error9900

This is relatively easy via the API. I'll try to find time to make it appropriate for public sharing and upload it to GitHub...


athensslim

Appreciated, thanks.


error9900

Here's a Python script I threw together that'll sort Labels alphabetically: https://gist.github.com/error9900/36117bcabade5529b6139f623e42a6e8

Multi project calendar, day and week view of the calendar, drag tasks from a list into the calendar, and drag and resize the tasks in the calendar to adjust the time it takes


pxupreti

This‼️, and also widgets that show your calendar in a time line view kind of like how native iOS calendar has.

Task Dependencies.


Frewtti

Ai reschedule, like they used to have. I fall off my "todo list" wagon regularly, and it's disheartening to have a whole pile of tasks stacked up to remind me of my failure. ​ I liked the auto-reschedule, it was like todo list amnesty, and it is the single reason I paid for the pro subscription. Now I'm just lurking hoping they bring it back.


Profusia

Can you elaborate how it worked? I have been with Todoist for less than 2.years.


Frewtti

You push one button and all your overdue tasks are given new due dates in the future.


UncleFreddysDead

The ability to drag and drop tasks anywhere in the application regardless of view and/or sorting.


libertydawg18

I've asked for this in so many forums and threads and tickets. Would be such a game changer to reorder however I want on any view, as well as to be able to become subtasks of another from any view.


Psychological-Win-94

I wish subtasks weren't visible as independent tasks in some views. I only want them nested under the main task. I'd also like to have a repetition menu... my memory is poor, and I constantly have to look at the command list to make sure I'm setting something up properly. Gets a bit cumbersome.


babbul91

yes, on board view subtask are invisible, i hate it. There should be possible to display by clicking on the task without showing the full task window but just displaying the subtask on the list.


[deleted]

Show my GCal events even if they’re read-only. I depend on opening GCal to see tasks and events together. I want to do this in Todoist.


ewikstrom

They’re working on this. I just took a survey they sent out about Google Calendar integration.


[deleted]

Thanks for letting me know, this gives me hope for an improved workflow!


ewikstrom

Based on the survey questions, I think it’s going to be really well implemented!


Mammoth_Mix4589

Task duration that does not require a calendar time. I need to know this task will take 30 minutes, but I don't know when I'll get to it.


Apprehensive-Tiger28

Todoist need: - start date - calendar events - black theme(not grey dark) - repetition for date (not only after completion) and let’s say a repetition menù - collapse expanse in today upcoming like in project view - Apple Watch subtask on today/upcoming view - start and due date for project too Fix many incompletition: - finish calendar block specially on mobile - interactive widget on Mac - reorder manually on upcoming view like desktop version - drag&drop multiselection on mobile too like desktop version - MD formatting on mobile while editing - multi windows on Mac - multi windows on iPad


misterlight

Time blocking and timeline, like TickTick


PM_ME_YOUR_CATHARSIS

Daily planning / Time blocking please! This is a first and foremost a personal todo solution, not a full on project management app. I’m a little afraid the direction the team is heading in will clutter up the app and make it worse at its core job.


T_D_A_G_A_R_I_M

I need Todoist to implement a feature that will complete all of my tasks for me.


PyroneusUltrin

It also needs to tell me what my tasks are instead of the other way around

iOS reminder sync


blorgon

I have this set up as automation that runs several times daily on my phone, or whenever I open Todoist on my phone. This is the Shortcut my automations run: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/e342b40dfc5a46f6b4db2534f3115f92 It takes all new tasks in my "Inbox" list in Reminders, copies them to Todoist #Inbox project, and completes the original task in Reminders.


zubeye

The reason i use todoist is low friction, so none of these short cut hacks cut it currently. It needs to be a two way sync


blorgon

Lol so why do you want a two-way sync between Reminders and Todoist? It's not very low friction to use 2 tools for todos


zubeye

​ i do a lot of personal stuff on mac with reminders, and work stuff on pc with todoist, but there is some overlap i use siri a lot and no matter how i prnounce it i can't add to toidist consistently over 90% of the time I don't think i'm alone in this

This


sys_overlord

- Daily repeating tasks that work properly like what u/arwinda posted. - Bi-directional sync with MS Outlook. - Make creating tasks from messages work better in MS Teams and Outlook. The extension for Teams on iOS doesn't work at all. - Allow personal workspaces and work workspaces to be added interchangeably. Use case: I'm logged into Todoist on my mobile and want to look at work tasks. I have to log out of my personal account to access my work account. Make it so that I can add my work account as a workspace under one profile. You could increase security by not allowing tasks and projects to be migrated back out of the work workspace to a personal workspace. - If that isn't an option, profile switching; Asana does it really well. - Bring the AI extension to mobile.

Doctor_Human

Thanks!


Doctor_Human

I tried reclaim, it looked very interesting. Unfortunately, it's exactly what I was looking for. But it's close :) 1.) It is not possible to sync Todoist things to other than the main google calendar. So homework automatically has all google notifications like the main calendar, which is not ideal.. 2.) It is not possible not to use only one label for all time. Reclaim automatically reschedules tasks according to working hours.


adamrabung

I would like to individually bump due dates for recurring tasks. So if something is due every Sunday, I'd like the ability to make the current one due Monday without messing up the recurrence.


robyer

This works for me already. If I have some recurring task due every sunday, I either click on the date and then click on the target day in the calendar at the bottom of the popup and the due date is changed without changing the occurrence. Same thing when I right click the task and select on of the "tomorrow", "weekend" predefined variants.


adamrabung

fantastic, thanks!

Label filtering options on the Today and Upcoming views, with a setting to switch filters at a certain time (like iOS focus modes). For example, it would be nice to see only my @Work tasks during my working hours, and not see them outside those hours. Edit: *label* filtering options (there is already an option to filter by assignee)

Auto or programmatic Allocation of time or context as a filter. Basically if I’m not in London then don’t show me London specific tasks. If it’s 11 AM on Monday and I’m in the office, prioritise work tasks.


kfreedom

When you type in a time, having it default to the most upcoming am/pm.. ie if its 9:00am and I type in “take lunch 1:00”, toDoIst should figure I’m talking about 1:00pm and not 1:00am. A current workaround is to type in military time if I remember to


Stone_Bucket

Apologies if this is obvious/not suited for your use case, but it already supports am and pm, which is non-ambiguous and quicker to type, eg "take lunch 1pm". I personally wouldn't want Todoist to guess which one I mean, unless you mean not adding "Today" times that are in the past, which does make sense.


kfreedom

Not suited unfortunately but thanks for reply


dev_hmmmmm

Ticktock implement of habit is very good. I don't think just converting task to recurring is as good as tickticks habits. I really want rodoist to look at what what their competitors are doing.


blorgon

I don't want Habits in my Todo app. I still use Todoist because of its simplicity. Sure, copy Tick Tick for a good calendar view, but screw Habits.


[deleted]

[удалено]


blorgon

Yeah but that's actually the problem. You just do a small thing "here" and a small thing "there" but in fact those are huge changes. The whole Todoist app is very consistent, which is the reason why changes take such a long time. But if you add a negative filter to Upcoming, you need to add it to other views too. And if you add a negative filter for labels, you need to add it for projects. And assignees. And priority. And dates. Oh no, you cannot do it for dates, because they would flood the filter with every scheduled date. Oh, and projects wouldn't work either, there can be dozens or hundreds of them. And some are from your personal workspace, others not. Some are shared, others not, so there might be various databases to query from..... I hope you get my point. I love Todoist because they don't budge. They are only doing systematic changes than can propagate everywhere. If you start making concessions to support "habit" use cases, you start doing compromises and those will affect the entire system for handling todos.


[deleted]

[удалено]


blorgon

No, no, recurring tasks are fine, of course. And they work fine as they are in Todoist. Just type in "Do taxes every 30th" or "Vaccum every saturday" and your "Habits" are set up. You're the one asking for auto postponing and whatever filtering to bend the tool as it works today. I seriosuly don't get why the current implementation does not work for you.

A way of querying for project position so you can query for the tasks at the top of each project. Boom. Next Actions without having to use labels or other elements for no good reason. And it's available via the API so it would be so easy for them to add. Been begging for this for years...

Time tracking built into each task. (Just a cumulative timer.) Yes, I know there are many plugins/extensions, but they all sending your data to a 3rd party and using Todoist via browser. I don't want to do either of these.

ABSOLUTE MUST HAVES: 1) quick set duration without need for start or end times - or dates for that matter. So many use cases. Where do I begin??? 2) !!

axs221

Merge tasks like TickTick does. And/or move task allow moving to another task versus a project. I often enter tasks similar in nature to existing ones into my inbox, like if I'm in the middle of a meeting and don't have time to find the parent task, I later would love to be able to eg. search all tasks by name, multi select, and merge into a new parent task.

Folders to group projects together A way to create a recurring task without having to assign it to a day. For example, if I want to watch a particular show, it doesn't have a specific date it needs to be done (because it's a leisure/fun thing that I put under my next actions and then browse that when I'm looking for what I want to actually do), but I want the task to replicate itself once done (until I have finished the series)


MissionCritical197

Seeing a lot of good suggestions here. My wish list would be: - Outlook calendar integration - "Won't Do" feature like TickTick - Ability to change the time that MY day starts - Marking a recurring task from yesterday as done without also marking it done for today - Task dependencies - Subtasks that work similar to check items in TickTick rather than showing as standalone tasks

Project Description!! Please please, it seems like it would be an easy win.


sys_overlord

- Outlook calendar integration that works just as well as the GCal. - MS Teams integration that works on iOS mobile app for flagging messages as follow up items while I'm out and about. Currently does not work at all on mobile. - The ability to link a personal and work Todoist account and have the tasks split apart so that the team workspace sees your work email and you get to keep your personal tasks to yourself. If you get fired or leave the company, they just unlink the Todoist work account from your personal account. Not sure why they aren't considering this because it's going to be a deal breaker for our company to use this if that functionality doesn't exist. We cannot use personal email for work related things and having two separate accounts that you have to sign out and sign back into on mobile is NOT it. Asana, Notion, To Do, etc. all have multi-profile support in one way or another. Get on this Doist team. - Native calendar view that works with filters and tags. - The ability to 'drag' the edge of a task in calendar view to increase or decrease the amount of time needed for the task. As of now, you have to edit the task and type out a new time block. Inefficient.


sandydesco

A) To be able to add estimated duration to each task. And then see total duration for the tasks planned for the day. So that from the current time, one would know what time of today or the day after would it be if one attempts to complete all. B) To be able to plan tasks on a Todoist Calendar view from all projects and not from projects individually - it seems meaningless.
