What's new
Shorthand priorities and due dates
No more emoji picker: type the priority and due date as plain words in any synced task.
- [ ] Call the dentist p1 tomorrow #todoist
- [ ] Renew passport p2 15/11 #todoist- Priority:
p1,p2,p3,p4, the same as in Todoist (p1is highest) - Due date:
today,tomorrow,dd/mm,dd/mm/yyordd/mm/yyyy(day first). Add/mmthat has already passed this year means next year. - On sync, the shorthand is sent to Todoist and rewritten in your note to the emoji format, e.g.
Call the dentist #todoist 🔺 📅 2026-10-01. This pinstodayandtomorrowto the day you wrote them. - The last one on the line wins: only the last priority and the last date on a line count, so earlier words stay in the title:
Review p2 design p1becomes "Review p2 design" with priority p1. To change a synced task, type the new shorthand at the end of the line. - The emoji format (📅, 🔺, ⏫, 🔼, 🔽) keeps working as before.
Green highlighting in the editor
Shorthand that the next sync will convert is highlighted in green while you type. Hover it to see what it means, e.g. Syncist: Due 2026-11-15.
New setting
Shorthand priorities and dates (on by default). Turn it off if your task titles often contain words like p2 or 1/2 that should stay as text.
Improvements
- Create task from current line now also sends the priority, due date, labels and project to Todoist, not just the title.
