Todoist

Todoist Integration

Manage tasks via td CLI (todoist-rs).

Installation

brew install LuoAndOrder/tap/todoist-cli

Or install via Cargo: cargo install todoist-cli-rs

Sync Behavior

• Writes auto-sync: add, done, edit, delete hit the API directly
• Reads use cache: list, today, show read from local cache
• Sync when needed: Use --sync flag or td sync for fresh data

td sync              # Incremental sync (fast)
td sync --full       # Full rebuild if cache seems off

Common Operations

List Tasks

# Today's agenda (includes overdue)
td today --sync

# Today only (no overdue)
td today --no-overdue

# All tasks
td list --sync

# By project
td list -p "Inbox" --sync
td list -p "Work" --sync

# High priority
td list -f "p1 | p2" --sync

# By label
td list -l "urgent" --sync

# By assignee (shared projects)
td list --assigned-to me --sync
td list --assigned-to "Alice" --sync

# Complex filters
td list -f "today & p1" --sync
td list -f "(today | overdue) & !@waiting_on" --sync
td list -f "assigned to: me & p1" --sync

Add Tasks

Quick add (natural language):

td quick "Buy milk tomorrow @errands #Personal"
td quick "Review PR tomorrow" --note "Check the auth changes carefully"

Structured add:

td add "Task content" \
  -p "Inbox" \
  -P 2 \
  -d "today" \
  -l "urgent"

# Assign on creation (shared projects only)
td add "Review design" -p "Shared Project" --assign "Alice"

# With description
td add "Prepare quarterly report" -P 1 -d "friday" \
  --description "Include sales metrics and customer feedback summary"

Options:

• -P, --priority - 1 (highest) to 4 (lowest, default)
• -p, --project - project name
• -d, --due - due date ("today", "tomorrow", "2026-01-30", "next monday")
• -l, --label - label (repeat for multiple)
• --description - task description/notes (shown below task title)
• --section - target section within project
• --parent - parent task ID (creates subtask)
• --assign - assign to collaborator (shared projects only)

Complete Tasks

td done <task-id>
td done <id1> <id2> <id3>              # Multiple at once
td done <id> --all-occurrences         # End recurring task permanently

Modify Tasks

td edit <task-id> -c "New content"
td edit <task-id> --description "Additional notes here"
td edit <task-id> -P 1
td edit <task-id> -d "tomorrow"
td edit <task-id> --add-label "urgent"
td edit <task-id> --remove-label "next"
td edit <task-id> --no-due             # Remove due date
td edit <task-id> --section "Next Actions"
td edit <task-id> -p "Work"            # Move to different project
td edit <task-id> --assign "Alice"    # Assign to collaborator
td edit <task-id> --assign me         # Assign to yourself
td edit <task-id> --unassign          # Remove assignment

Edit options:

• -c, --content - update task title
• --description - update task description/notes
• -P, --priority - change priority (1-4)
• -d, --due - change due date
• --no-due - remove due date
• -l, --label - replace all labels
• --add-label - add a label
• --remove-label - remove a label

Project & Label Management

# Projects
td projects                            # List all
td projects add "New Project"
td projects show <id>

# Labels
td labels                              # List all
td labels add "urgent"

# Collaborators (shared projects)
td collaborators -p "Shared Project"

Filter Syntax

Use with -f/--filter:

• | for OR: today | overdue
• & for AND: @next & #Personal
• Parentheses: (today | overdue) & p1
• Negation: !@waiting_on
• Priority: p1, p2, p3, p4
• Dates: today, tomorrow, overdue, no date, 7 days
• Assignment: assigned to: me, assigned to: others, assigned to: Alice, assigned by: me, assigned, !assigned

Workflow Tips

1. Morning review: td today --sync
2. Quick capture: td quick "thing to do"
3. Focus list: td list -f "@next" --sync
4. Waiting on: td list -f "@waiting_on" --sync
5. End of day: td today (cache is fine, already synced)
