Here’s how you can import your to-dos from other apps into Things.

Set up the Todoist trigger, and make magic happen automatically in OmniFocus. Zapier's automation tools make it easy to connect Todoist and OmniFocus.

This page is about importing to-dos on the Mac. To import to-dos on your iPhone or iPad directly from Todoist, open Things and tap Settings >Import. Acer gadget serial (com4) driver.

1. Import from OmniFocus 2 or 3 (Pro)

• Todoist is a simple and straightforward way to keep things organized and people accountable for. However, if you’re looking for tools that go beyond the usual task management, then the expression: ‘todoist alternatives’ comes into perspective.
• OmniFocus is a GTD app in its soul, Todoist is not. Here are upcoming due tasks in Omnifocus. One page and I see up to July. Note the greyed-out text. It is deferred and “not available”.
• Todoist doesn’t offer a Mac Mail plug-in, but as you’ll see below, you can email a task right into a Todoist project, so that’s not a big deal. Labels and Filters. I don’t know Todoist like I know OmniFocus, but Labels and Filters would appear to be the app’s heart and soul.

How to Use the AppleScripts

Some of the import options below require you to download an AppleScript. Here’s how to use it:

1. Download the AppleScript you’d like to use via the Download AppleScript link.
2. Locate the downloaded file and double-click it. This will launch the AppleScript Editor.
3. In the toolbar, click the ▶ Run button.

Import from Apple Reminders

This option requires macOS 10.15, iOS 13, or iPadOS 13.

Your lists are imported as projects in Things, but some of them might be better off as areas. Consider creating a new area and moving your to-dos over. Repeating to-dos are imported, but are not set to repeat, please re-create them inside Things. Apple doesn’t expose all Reminders data to us, so the following data are not imported: attachments, list groups, sub-task indentation, flagged status, priority, location-based reminders.

Mac

1. On your Mac, open Things.
2. In the menu bar at the top of your screen, click File >Import >Import From Reminders.

Import from OmniFocus 2 or 3 (Pro)

Imports projects and to-dos with due dates and notes, converts top-level folders to areas, and contexts to tags. Once downloaded, unzip the file and double-click the app to run it. Please note that only the Pro version of OmniFocus provides AppleScript support, so it will only work if you have that version installed.

Import from Wunderlist

As of May 6, 2020, Wunderlist has shut down and no longer offers any export option for your data. In turn, it’s no longer possible to import your data to Things. As of now, we do not offer import options for Microsoft To Do.

Import from Todoist

Imports to-dos and projects. Projects with children will become projects in Things; projects without children will become Areas in Things. Repeating to-dos are converted to normal to-dos and you have to make them repeat manually. Labels become tags.

2. In the menu bar at the top of your screen, click File >Import From >Import From Todoist.

Import from Toodledo

Uses a Toodledo XML export file. Imports to-dos with due dates, notes, and contexts as tags. Creates projects from your project folders. To-dos without a project go into the Next list.

Import from a plaintext file

Creates a to-do for each line in a plaintext file. If you hit ⇥ Tab after a title, the text that follows will be imported as a note: title⇥ Tabnote

Copy and paste text

If you quickly want to convert a simple list from an app like Apple Notes, Apple Mail or any other text app into to-dos in Things, here’s how:

Mac

• Copy a plain text list and hit ⌘ Cmd + V inside Things. Each line of text will be converted into a separate to-do.
• Copy a plain text list and hit ⌘ Cmd + V inside an open to-do. The first line of text will be converted into the title of your to-do, the rest of the text will be added to the notes of the to-do.

iPad

• Copy a plain text list and hit in the top right corner in Things. Each line of text will be converted into a separate to-do.
• Copy a plain text list, tap into the title of a new to-do in Things, and hit in the top right corner. The first line of text will be converted into the title of your to-do, the rest of the text will be added to the notes of the to-do.

I really tried. I wanted to give Todoist, a rapidly growing platform for task management, a serious try. As a serious Omnifocus user. It didn’t work. Archos 80 xenon drivers download for windows 10, 8.1, 7, vista, xp.

Why on earth would an invested Omnifocus user switch to Todoist?

Well, in short because of

Omnifocus Vs Todoist

1. Sharing
   Todoist let’s me easily share tasks with my wife related to managing our private life with two kids. Omnifocus is showing no signs to develop in this direction.
2. Tags & Filters
   Context in Omnifocus only provides one dimension (although nested). Tags in Todoist allows me to build any (multidimensional) view on my tasks no matter how far I take tags. I am aware that if you standardise the naming of your tasks you can include a respective search in your Omnifocus Perspective – but that seems very fiddly to me.
3. Speed
   Todoist syncs nearly instantaneously. With Omnifocus I always have to wait a few seconds before things are updated. And yes, I have background sync enabled in Omnifocus.
4. Attachments
   It’s probably me but I always hesitated to put attachments in my Omnifocus database because I feared it would make it slow down or consume too much space. Todoist as a web based platform at least to me seems much better suited to handle bigger file attachments.

So I gave Todoist a serious try. I switched all my projects over, set up my wife with an account and tested the pro features for about a month (without Pro features it is very bare bones). I did the full monty: Exchanged my today widget on the iPhone, installed Todoist on all my Macs and IOS devices, even hooked it up to IFTTT and switched to Cloudmagic on my IOS devices to be able to process email directly into Todoist.

I also faced a stressful period at work where a lot of projects were getting pretty intense at the same time – perfect conditions to test drive a task management system. To put things into context – I overlook approx. 30 active projects at a time in a company with north of 500 staff. From experience I know I should maintain a good handle on my projects when things are getting hot. Otherwise it all falls apart pretty quickly and I loose control.

And this is exactly the point where Todoist broke down for me. Video wonder pro iii wdm tv tuner driver download for windows 10. It took me too long to update lots of tasks in lots of projects multiple times a day. I missed Omnifocus’ start dates, sequential projects and focussing abilities which allow me to filter better on what is really available, important and urgent at the same time.

Omnifocus Todoist Integration

I tried to accomplish this by setting up various filters. But no matter what I did – I always felt overwhelmed as I had to look at too many unrelevant tasks at the same time. I started fiddling again with filters – exactly what I wanted to avoid especially during a period where all of my resources were required to actually DO things.

It is not about price. Omnifocus on Mac, Ipad and Iphone add up quite nicely in (one-time) cost. Todoist is 23 Euro per year per person for the premium plan – for my wife and myself this translates to about three years of usage before I hit the Omnifocus price range. I am happy to pay for a solution which I use on a daily basis in order to manage my various roles.

In short, I learned that the following features in Todoist are essential for me before even consider switching again:

Todoist Vs Things

• Start dates
• Automatic ‘next action’ available per project
• Better filtering in the UI, not only by filters

For Omnifocus I would like to see:

• Task sharing
• Tags
• Faster sync

Omnifocus Vs Todoist

I would like to hope that Todoist adds these features, but I doubt they will be doing so anytime soon. For the time being Omnifocus just has to be my sort of hammer for the type of work I do.
