Nov 23, 2023

Web, macOS, Windows, Linux

  • Todoist has been revamped with a fresh, simplified layout! The cleaner look and feel will help you focus on what matters – completing meaningful tasks and making the most of your day. Learn more about the new layout.
  • You can now see if (and how many) sort or filter options are applied to your view, by looking at the number that appears next to the View icon at the top-right. (All the ways to sort or group tasks in Todoist.)
  • You may have encountered some delays when showing completed tasks in your views. This will no longer be a problem.
  • A connection alert will now appear below Quick Find’s input field if there's something wrong with your connection to our servers.
  • Deleting completed tasks from the search results page wasn’t working properly. That’s been fixed.
  • After a recent update, our magical filter engine could no longer recognize “next weekday” in a filter query. Abracadabra, it can now.
  • After moving a task, the sidebar will no longer become unresponsive when you click on the project link in the pop-up at the bottom of your screen.
  • If a search yields no results, we’ll no longer tease you with the option to “Show more results” (because there aren’t any). Now, you’ll see the option to immediately search for completed tasks instead.

 

iOS

  • Navigating Todoist is now easier with the newly introduced simplified layout and navigation bar at the bottom of the screen. This is how it works.
  • It’s now also possible to view filters and labels in the board layout. To change the layout, tap the three dots icon, select View, and tap the Board icon. Then, group tasks by project, priority, label, or other attributes to see your filtered tasks arranged in columns.
  • If you’ve set your Todoist to Korean, you’ll be happy to know that it’s now possible to set a task duration in Korean using natural language in Quick Add.

 

Android

  • Explore Todoist with ease thanks to the fresh, simplified layout and the addition of a navigation bar at the bottom of the screen. Here's a quick run-through.
  • We've resolved an issue that was causing glitchy behavior in the view options. Now, filter by assignee and the Reset all button are running smoothly again.
  • After a recent update, setting a task duration wasn’t possible in some languages … because the OK button was missing. It’s back now.

Explore the other known issues that are still in our pipeline.

Nov 16, 2023

Web, macOS, Windows, Linux

  • Thanks to some tweaking, tasks with long descriptions or comments are now printed properly across multiple pages.
  • Clicking the X icon to remove an assignee from the task details was an impossible task. Not anymore.
  • Recently, completed tasks started appearing in the wrong order. They’re now shown in the correct chronological order again (most recently completed at the top).
  • You can now also select multiple completed tasks and delete them from the toolbar or context menu. (Tip: To select multiple tasks, hold down Ctrl or Cmd and click the task names.)
  • Before in board layout, moving multiple tasks from one column to another didn't always work if you needed to scroll. Now, it does.
  • We get it: sometimes, a timely reminder is not what you need right now. So now it’s possible to snooze reminder notifications. (Soon also available on macOS.)
  • When you copy a comment that includes a @ mention of a person, the mentioned tag will now remain intact upon pasting into a new comment.
  • Thanks to a bug fix, attachments will no longer vanish when you edit a comment.
  • We also solved some other issues with attachments in comments. Before, when editing a comment, attachments couldn’t be added, removed, or even seen. That’s all fixed now.

 

Android

  • Quick Add shortcuts weren’t working properly in Korean. Thanks to some language lessons and tweaking, they are now. (If you want to refresh your memory, here’s a list of all the shortcuts in Quick Add.)

Check out some of the other known issues that are currently on our radar.

Nov 9, 2023

Web, macOS, Windows, Linux

  • Labels for completed sub-tasks weren’t always displayed properly, but they are now.
  • In some cases, user avatars would appear disproportionally large (like, really huge). Now they’re back to their normal size.
  • We fixed an issue that caused "Sync last completed:" to show "unknown.”
  • When grouping tasks by label, the order of the groups once again follows the order of the labels in the label list.
  • Thanks to a bug fix, you can now scroll down when viewing filters in the board layout. (Did you know we rolled out board layout for filters and labels last week?)

 

iOS

  • We’ve cleaned up the Quick Find screen ("Search") and removed some unnecessary elements (like task counts). Now, with room to display more recently viewed items, finding your common lookups is even faster.

 

Android

  • Fixed an issue that caused the app to crash after opening the Productivity view.
  • We also said bye-bye to a bug that caused Todoist on Wear OS to crash. 👋
  • Accidentally completed a task in Todoist in the Noir theme? No worries, now that the UNDO button is visible again.

Nov 2, 2023

Web, macOS, Windows, Linux

  • Great news if you’re a fan of custom filter views: Filters and labels can now also be viewed in board layout! Check out Amir’s video, in which he shows how to get a better overview of your filtered tasks with boards. (Looking for inspiration? Here are 24 custom views that you can create with filters.)
  • We changed the height of the toolbar for editing multiple tasks to one line, so it takes less space.
  • Thanks to some language lessons and tweaking, it’s now possible to set a task duration in Korean using natural language in Quick Add.
  • Sometimes when creating or editing a filter, the dialog would close unexpectedly. That’s now fixed.
  • Create multiple tasks by pasting multi-line text, and Todoist will once again recognize task details, like priority and due date. Plus, automatic reminders are now added correctly (if you’ve set these up in Settings).
  • If you’re on the free plan, it’s once again possible to remove a task’s due time in the scheduler. (You can also now remove a task’s duration if it has one).
  • Thanks to some tinkering, the emoji picker is running smoothly again. 🎉

 

iOS

  • We squashed a nasty bug that caused the app to crash after launching.
  • A few visual touch-ups to keep Todoist looking its best.

 

Android

  • Remember those tweaks we did last week to ensure that task attribute icons are no longer cut off by long project or section names? Well, that caused labels to disappear. 🙈 Labels are now visible again, but we’ll continue working on those attribute icons. To be continued.

Take a look at the known issues for a list of other bugs we're hoping to squash soon.

Oct 26, 2023

Web, macOS, Windows, Linux

  • When pressing the shortcut T to set a due date, the scheduler sometimes appeared off-screen, making it difficult to select a future date. We made sure that the scheduler is now always positioned on screen.
  • Thanks to some tweaks, adding a task to Todoist from our Quick Add browser extensions is now much, much faster. (You can download Todoist for your browser here.)
  • It is once again possible to connect Todoist to your Facebook account.
  • We squashed a bug that caused recurring tasks to disappear when they were completed in a different language (e.g., in a browser set to a different language or by a collaborator that uses Todoist in a different language).
  • We’ve done some tweaking on drag & drop to make sure that projects are dropped in the right place.
  • When rescheduling a task with a due time, the automatic reminder will now also be set accordingly.

 

iOS

  • Now also on iOS, changing your project’s layout just got one tap faster with a new and improved interface. Go to the project menu via the three dots icon in the top-right, select View, and tap the List or Board icon to select the desired layout.
  • When setting a due time, the time zone section was temporarily invisible. It’s back now.

 

Android

  • If you use a password manager on your device, you can now also use its autofill function to enter the code for two-factor authentication. (Have you enabled two-factor authentication yet?)
  • It’s now easier to delete labels or filters: When viewing a label/filter, tap the three dots icon in the top-right corner and select Delete.
  • A task’s duration will now also be copied when you duplicate the task.
  • We’ve done some tweaks to ensure that task attribute icons are no longer cut off if you have a long project or section name.
  • Links to a section of a project are working properly now.
  • We accidentally made the divider lines in widgets way too dark. They’re back to their correct color.
  • All text is again visible in Dark mode now that it’s displayed in the right color.

Oct 19, 2023

Web, macOS, Windows, Linux

  • After taking it out for a spin, we’ve decided to relocate the toolbar for editing multiple tasks to the top. Thanks for your feedback!
  • We’ve fixed some scrolling issues that occurred in Upcoming when using the board layout.
  • The layout of reminder notifications has been updated. Now, the task name is placed front and center, and the notification includes the reminder time. It’ll make reading reminders at a glance easier, so you don’t lose time deciphering them. (Learn more about reminders)
  • Thanks to some tweaks, selecting and editing multiple sub-tasks when you’re in the task view is now also possible.

 

iOS

  • When recording audio comments in tasks with Todoist in the Sunflower theme, you'll now have a clear view of the Cancel and Attach buttons. (This is how to record audio comments in tasks.)
  • A task’s duration will now also be copied when you duplicate a task.

 

Android

  • If you have a Samsung device, you’ll be happy to know that your device’s predictive text feature will no longer interfere with creating tasks in Todoist.
  • We’ve resolved an issue on Xiaomi devices where the app would occasionally crash when typing.

Oct 12, 2023

Web, macOS, Windows, Linux

  • Your long task lists in Todoist will now load faster and scroll smoother thanks to a nifty little update called list "virtualization." Basically, this means we only load the tasks you can see on your screen. (Tell me more about those virtualized lists.)
  • We’ve made some fixes to task durations to make sure they no longer disappear when you unhighlight a date in the task’s name.
  • At times Todoist on web could get stuck on the loading screen. That's now fixed.

 

Android

Oct 5, 2023

Web, macOS, Windows, Linux

  • Changing your project’s layout just got one click faster with a new and improved interface. ✨ (Check out the charming new icons.)
  • Thanks to a bug fix, you’ll no longer see the incorrect “label already exists” message when you rename your label from lower to uppercase.

 

iOS

  • On iOS, you now also have the option to permanently display the completed tasks of a project. Go to the project menu via the three dots icon and tap Show Completed Tasks to take a look at your “to-done” list. (Settings will sync across devices and in shared projects.)

Sep 28, 2023

Web, macOS, Windows, Linux

  • We’ve redesigned the toolbar for editing multiple tasks and moved it to the bottom of your screen for easy access. Watch Amir’s quick demo of the new design.
  • It is now also possible to assign durations to multiple tasks at once. (ICYMI, task durations are now available on our paid plans!)
  • Reloading the web app is now even quicker, thanks to some under-the-hood changes to the way we release updates (they’re now released 50x faster!) 🚀

 

iOS

  • Your tasks will now also appear in the correct order in widgets and on your Apple Watch.
  • We fixed an issue where long text was cut off in the Settings menu, making it hard to read in certain languages.
  • After some reconfiguration, complex filter views will now take less time to load in widgets.
  • We did some tweaking to make sure you can no longer complete an uncompletable task in the interactive widgets on iOS 17. (More about uncompletable tasks.)
  • Thanks to a bug fix, moving tasks to a different project using the search field is working once again.

Sep 21, 2023

Web, macOS, Windows, Linux

  • You can now choose to display the completed tasks of a project permanently. Go to the project’s view options (the View icon at the top-right) to select if you want to show (or hide) completed tasks. Your settings will sync across devices and – for shared projects – between teammates. (Here are more ways to keep track of your “to-done” list).
  • Thanks to some tweaks to reminder notifications on macOS, clicking on a notification will now open the task in Todoist. Plus, the Complete button will now … well, complete the task. ✅
  • To copy the link to a task, you can now use the keyboard shortcut Shift ⇧ + Cmd ⌘ + C or Shift + Ctrl + C. (Save time in Todoist with this complete list of keyboard shortcuts.)
  • Updating your time zone settings is now much clearer, thanks to some refining and rewriting.

Sep 14, 2023

Web, macOS, Windows, Linux

  • In our never-ending quest to simplify Todoist and speed up your workflows, we’ve unified traditional search and our (rather hidden) command menu into one Quick Find bar. Consider it your central hub for finding, navigating to, and doing anything in Todoist – without lifting a finger from your keyboard. Just type Cmd/Ctrl + K, and off you go. 🚀
  • Never lose a comment with our new comment editor. From now on, closing a task won't discard your unsent comments. Instead, they'll be saved as drafts so you can finish and send them at your convenience. Plus, clicking outside the comment field will no longer dismiss the comment you’re working on. There's now a Cancel button for that.
  • Drag & drop keeps getting better and better: You can now also drop tasks into collapsed project sections.
  • When you write dates within code blocks in Quick Add, they will no longer convert into due dates.
  • Printing wasn’t working correctly on the activity log with filters enabled, but now things are back to normal. (Learn how to print your tasks.)
  • We’ve fixed a bug that caused an error to appear when you dragged a task out of the Overdue section in the Today view.
  • Thanks to some multilingual fine-tuning, our Quick Add in French, Brazilian Portuguese, and Russian no longer confuses task durations for due dates. (Did you know Todoist is available in a variety of languages?)

 

iOS

  • To change the language of your app, you now have to go to your device's Settings app (here’s how).
  • We’ve fixed a bug that caused the Quick Add button to disappear after you viewed an archived project.

Take a look at some of the known issues we're currently working on.

Sep 7, 2023

Web, macOS, Windows, Linux

  • We accidentally removed the globe icon in the scheduler for tasks with a fixed time – it’s back now. (🌏 Tip: Do you collaborate with people across the globe? A fixed time ensures the due time of your task stays the same regardless of your time zone. Learn more.)
  • From now on, when you upload multiple files and one file exceeds the size limit, we’ll only remove that file and make sure the rest gets uploaded as you intended.
  • See your teammate’s avatar photo appear instantly after assigning multiple tasks at once. (Try these batch actions to manage your tasks more efficiently.)
  • Reschedule a task, and you can now jump directly to the new date in the Upcoming view. Just click on the date in the pop-up at the bottom of your screen.

Aug 31, 2023

New in Todoist: ✨ task durations ✨

Daily planning just got a lot easier now that we’ve released task durations in Todoist! Learn more about this much-requested feature.

Bugs and improvements

Web, macOS, Windows, Linux

Check out some of the known issues we're currently working on.

Aug 24, 2023

Web, macOS, Windows, Linux

  • While setting reminders, scrolling through the time options with the ↑ and ↓ arrow keys now actually allows you to select a time for your reminder instead of navigating to a different task in the list.
  • Your recent activities are looking a lot prettier now that Markdown formatting is displayed properly in the activity log.✨

Find out about other known issues our team is working on.

Aug 17, 2023

Web, macOS, Windows, Linux

  • You can now turn off the daily/weekly goal celebration pop-up entirely from the Productivity tab in your Settings.
  • In a customized sidebar, the dragging and dropping of projects wasn’t always working properly. That’s been fixed. (In case you missed it, you can decide what shows up in your sidebar.)

Take a look at the known issues for a list of bugs with fixes in the works.

Aug 10, 2023

Web, macOS, Windows, Linux

  • You can again use ctrl/cmd + click to open links that point to other Todoist tasks in a new tab rather than annoyingly taking over the tab with the original task.
  • The "No Due" suggestion in the task details due date picker will now remove the due date like you would expect.
  • It was momentarily not possible to re-enable smart date recognition after disabling it. Now if you find you miss auto-detected due dates, you can feel free to change your mind. (A reminder that you can also easily “undetect” due dates in task names on a case-by-case basis for when you want to write a monthly report and not have it automatically schedule for the first of every month, for example.)
  • For some rare filters, the preview in the new Filter Assist would display no tasks when, in fact, tasks existed. Or would display different tasks than the actual task view. The Filter Assist preview now matches what the filter will actually show. (Uhhh, what’s Filter Assist again?)
  • Task Quick Add shortcuts weren’t correctly displaying projects and labels with certain emojis in the name (e.g., 9️⃣ and *️⃣). We no longer discriminate based on emoji. Even the really weird ones. You do you.

Don't see the very bad bug that you keep running into? Here are the known issues we're working hard to fix.
