The calendar and todo list of the future are integrated and connected with other services. The new Todoist developer platform and PowerApp integrations have huge potential for the future and I’m curious to see if and how Wunderlist ( now owned by Microsoft and Todoist’s biggest competitor) will react. I’m a strong believer that todo lists are only as useful as their ubiquity, and Todoist embraces a philosophy of working with other apps and not locking your tasks into a silo. Since moving to Todoist last year, I wouldn’t be able to switch to any other GTD app that doesn’t offer a web API and integration with other services. Treating tasks as calendar events has several limitations 5, but it works well to view todos and events in a unified interface with wide compatibility of clients and connected services. That also means I can use Fantastical’s excellent extension and natural language input to create tasks, and that I can switch to any other calendar client to view and create Todoist tasks as long as it supports Google Calendar. With the native Google Calendar integration, tasks can show up on my Modular watch face 4, and I can have a unified event/todo list in Fantastical, which is glorious.
Tasks as events on Apple Watch with PowerApp and Siri.Īnd it’s not just about Siri. 3 New events in Google Calendar show up as tasks in a second on Todoist – I tested this by dictating an event to Siri on my Apple Watch, which appeared instantly as a task in Todoist on iOS and the web. By setting the Todoist calendar as the default calendar on my iPhone, I can ask Siri to create new events and they’ll be saved as tasks in my Todoist inbox with a due date. Thanks to this integration, I’ve been able to natively view and create new tasks in my Todoist account from anywhere on my iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.
Changes you make in Google Calendar will be reflected in Todoist thanks to PowerApp and its two-way sync: delete an event on Google Calendar and its associated task will be marked as complete in Todoist change its date and time, and changes will instantly propagate to Todoist and vice versa. Once connected, Todoist will create a calendar in your Google account bringing every task over as an event carrying the task’s name, due date, and time. The Google Calendar integration in PowerApp has been even more powerful in my tests. Tasks imported from Evernote and Google Calendar show custom icons in Todoist on the web.
