Todoist Wishlist

Todoist is great, but in my humble opinion it is missing some (a few of them basic) features that could make it that much better. I decided to consolidate them into a list.

  • Task duration timer - i.e. I thought washing dishes would take me 20 minutes, while it actually took 10.
  • Task dependencies/prerequisites - prevent a task from being completed until all sub-tasks have been completed.
  • Pin/bookmark task - grouping/sorting aside, some tasks HAVE to be at the top.
  • Task status - ability to "pause" a task, for example. Arguably could be addressed via labels.
  • iOS Shortcuts
    • Get task
    • Edit task
    • Delete task
    • Ability to freely add labels (instead of a predefined list)
  • Filters
    • Activity filter, e.g. !activity: 7 days
    • Aliases for filters
    • Regex search, e.g. search:/youtube\.com|youtu\.be/
  • Grouping
    • Grouping by multiple parameters - e.g. group: section, priority
    • Grouping by specific labels - e.g. group by @☀️ and @🌙.
