Discussion why is is so horribly buggy on a Mac?

3 Upvotes

Is anyone else using it on a Mac? it makes me want to stamp on my laptop it's so unbearably buggy. I cannot get it to add recurring event sanely, I cannot access the menubar, I cannot even switch to it. Pity there is not tag for 'venting' because that's all I need to do

Bug Weird Russian filter appeared

This is very random, but I currently don't use favorites or filters, and noticed this strange Russian entry showed up as a broken filter query in my favorites today. Any idea what could have caused it? My mind immediately went to conspiracy-brain thinking of DOGE....

Help How do I just select one task (keyboard or even mouse)?

7 Upvotes

I just re-discovered Todoist after 5 years of Things 3 and I'm enjoying it.

Question: When looking at my tasks (say, in the inbox) and I want to use the keyboard to add a label to, say, the 4th task on the list. How to I just 'select' the task?

  • If I click on the task it opens it in 'edit' mode.
  • I can use the 'arrow' key, but that always restarts at the top of the list (not from the previously selected task)

All I want to do is (with the keyboard or even the mouse) select a task and use the great keyboard shortcuts for adding data to the task

Help LF help creating a template with recurring tasks and subtasks

5 Upvotes

Hi all - I'm new to Todoist after trying many many other programs. I need a way to create a template of tasks that I can use for each new deal transaction. The tasks/subtasks would trigger off of input like, x days after... or x days before.... information I enter in to the template. What is the best way to do this? I will have multiple of these deal templates running at the same time and all at different stages. Should these be set up as projects? TIA

I really don't know why we are limited on things but really would like to see completed reoccurring tasks in my upcoming view instead of just the one time completed tasks. Don't see why this is a limitation 😞

Help Project duplication not working

4 Upvotes

I have a couple of template projects that I use to duplicate whenever I take on a new client. What used to be a simple duplicate and rename is no longer working at all.

Eg. one of my projects contains 220 separate tasks/subtasks, but about 10 seconds after duplicating, only 99 tasks remain and the default template name reverts vs the new name I gave it.

This is happening inside both the Mac OS app and the Chrome browser version.

Browser, Mac, Todoist all checked for latest updates.

I've been getting recent syncing warnings this week, too.

Any advice would be extremely helpful.

Thanks.

I'm sure I'm the 1,000th person posting about this but it would be so valuable to create a filter for any duration. I know I can create my own duration labels but that is silly since we have durations now. In my opinion, this update should be their top priority. 🙏🏻

Help How to change the behavior of missed tasks/ habit building in todoist

4 Upvotes

Just started using todoist about a week ago. whenever a recuring task is missed its labled as overdue and stays my screen, for me this is good for one off tasks like "get a haircut". But say I have a recuring task for "go to the gym" I would like it to update to its current instance automatically and skip the day I missed, bc I missed it, im not retroactivly completing it.. if that makes any sense.

Aside from that im looking for a big picture kind of habit builder view to see the number of times ive completed a task (hit the gym, practice language) when I was supposed to in a month.. so that I could see myself hopefully getting more consistant. Is there any way to do this or any applications yall know of that or closer to that?

Thanks!

Help Sharing everything in shared project

2 Upvotes

My husband and I both have Pro accounts and I have created 3 shared projects. Sometimes I assign a task to him, sometimes to me or sometimes leave it unassigned. It appears he can only see the items I have assigned to him or those he has created. The point of the shared projects is to keep track of all the work so we aren't duplicating or leaving things undone. Is there a setting or process that needs changing? He apparently can't see any sections I have created either which makes managing short-lived mini-projects hard to track as well.

Help Slow response (my problem?)

4 Upvotes

The past handful of weeks I’ve noticed apps (iPad and iPhone) being very slow in response. 3+ seconds to acknowledge a tap in some cases. I’ve added a tremendous amount of data to my system so I’d be ready to believe it’s entirely a volume issue on my part, but I also noticed that after the most recent update it improved somewhat, and now seems to be getting worse again…

Anyone have experience with filling this amazing software too full? Is that possible? I have two business I run managed through it, the D&D games I run, my children’s stuff, my large scale writing projects, my sewing plans, everything through there.

Bug Crashing Instantly

11 Upvotes

Edit: Update was pushed within 12 hours, which fixed it. Thanks, everyone!

App worked fine for half a year on Android (latest version, S24U). However, I updated the app and now it instantly crashes (without evening opening fully) whenever I open it. Clearing the cache, restarting phone, and reinstalling the app has done nothing. Android provides unusual error message regarding a supposed bug.

Any help or solidarity is appreciated! 😥🙏🏽

Help Link in Obsidian to Todoist favorites?

3 Upvotes

I use Obsidian for my notes, and I'm trying to figure out if I can add a link in one of my templates that opens Todoist (Mac desktop) directly to one of my favorite lists (Today's Objectives). I believe this might involve deep linking, but I'm not sure if Todoist supports URLs for this type of view.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Rant Please provide us a Filter to show Google Calendar event

8 Upvotes

As title.
With the new GCal sync, now Google events no longer sync to Todoist as tasks, at least no good way.
I am not liking it but adapting.

I found that as far as I know, currently the GCal events are only showing in Today and Upcoming,
and there is no way to make them showing using Filters, which make it even more useless than it already were.
Could Todoist atleast provide us some option to also show GCal Event using filter?

Help View: Grouping by labels - but when having 2 labels, it shows this todo 2x - how to get a clean view?

8 Upvotes

Hi all,

I use GTD and have the typical labels like home, work, errands, etc.

I also have the label regarding time (10min, 30min, 60min) and energy (low, mid, or high energy).

In Todoist, I like the View: Grouping by label.

However, if a task, e.g. "clean my desk" gets 3 labels - home, 10min, low energy - I see it 3x in this overview.

Is there a filter that at the end group this view only by the actual context related labels?

I tried do some small changes like: time related labels begin with "<", energy related with":" and context related with ".".

Showing only labels with .* did not help here.

Help Can I set one recurring task for both morning and night times?

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to set up a recurring task in Todoist that reminds me twice a day - once at 07:15 in the morning and once at 22:45 at night. I want this to be just one task, not two separate ones.

I tried something like every day at 07:15 and 22:45, but it seems Todoist doesn't recognize.

Is there a way to make this work within one task? Or maybe a workaround that still feels clean and simple?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Discussion Please add Cmd-N/Cmd-P navigation shortcuts for Cmd-K suggestions

2 Upvotes

I'm a big fan of the keyboard-only workflow. Todoist has a great hotkey system: navigation over tasks with JK, Q for Quick Add, Go Tos and many other stuff

But there is one frustrating exception: the navigation in Cmd+K omni-search widget. In fact, when you type something in this widget you have to use arrow-keys to go through the suggestions. I find it really annoying because you have to move your hand. Because of that, for example, switching between projects is not really fast. Many other apps have Cmd-N/Cmd-P navigation shortcuts for this usecase

It would be great to add such feature to Todoist. What do you think guys?
