Use the calendar layout in Todoist

The calendar layout helps teams align on important dates and plan upcoming work.

It's a great way to avoid any scheduling conflicts and prevent team members from overcommitting.

Note

Todoist for Web, macOS, and Windows supports a monthly calendar.
Todoist for iOS and Android supports a weekly calendar.
The calendar layout is currently not available in the Today view.
Manual sorting isn't available for the calendar layout. Instead, tasks are sorted by default.
