      1. Tasks due today (default: !1)

      4. New task (default: !!!)

    • set refresh rate (in days). Default: 1
      • Recommended 0 (refresh every time) or 1 if you use Todoist often from browser, mobile etc.
      • Database is automatically refreshed when a task is created, completed, or rescheduled.
      • Refresh can be forced using a keyword (default: todoist::refresh) or hotkey.

    • partial match search? Default: yes. Search projects and labels anywhere in the string. Will search from start if unchecked
    • open task in Todoist app, or website

Basic Usage 📖

Searching your tasks 🔍

  • launch with keyword or custom hotkey. You can start from 1) tasks due today, 2) tasks overdue, or 3) all tasks
  • Use multiple strings, or label/projects to refine search. Use @ to enter one or more labels, # to enter a project/section.
  • Once a task is selected, you can do one of three things:
    • enter ↩️ will open the task on Todoist (default) or in the Todoist app, based on user preference set in Configure Workflow
    • shift-enter ⇧↩️ will complete the task
    • ctrl-enter ^↩️ will open a menu to reschedule the task. Choose one of the options, or enter a date in international format, with (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM) of without (YYYY-MM-DD) time, or enter a number of days. You can also use w or m after the number to enter weeks and months, respectively (e.g. 10w will reschedule in 10 weeks)
    • Time (in 24h format) can be added after these shortcuts as well (e.g. 7w13:13).

Creating new tasks ⭐

  • launch with keyword (default: !!!) or hotkey. Use @ to enter one or more labels (new ones can be created here), # to enter a project/section (Inbox will be used if none entered), due: to enter a due date, p[1-4] to enter a priority. As in reschedule, choose one of the options, or enter a date in international format, with (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM) of without (YYYY-MM-DD) time, or enter a number of days. You can also use w or m after the number to enter weeks and months, respectively (e.g. 10w will set a due date in 10 weeks). Time (in 24h format) can be added after these shortcuts as well (e.g. 7w13:13).
  • Universal Action: new tasks can be created by selecting text in any app, then launching Universal Actions and selecting Create a new Todoist task.

Database refresh 🔄

  • will occur according to the rate in days set in AlfreDo preferences, after a task is created, completed, or rescheduled, or...
    • todoist::refresh to force database refresh

Limitations & known issues ⚠️

  • None for now, but I have not done extensive testing, let me know if you see anything!
