Let’s put a bow on it
A 2023 wrap up!
Ah, the end of the year... the one deadline no amount of procrastination can postpone.
Since it’s coming — ready or not! — let’s pause for a moment and reflect on what we’ve accomplished (and what we can learn from what we didn’t).
Good job hanging in there this year!

Love it! I adore Kanban boards, they are the ideal planning tool!
Thanks for the continued innovation!
“All, a board!”
Boards everywhere
With filters and labels now viewable as boards, you can unlock the layout that works best for you.
View by project, priority, label, date, and more — choose the grouping that “just clicks” for your unique brain.
Never knew I needed this, until now
“Wow! Love this, and great job guys, you keep making this app better n better
“Sort of a big deal”
Manual sort in Today & Upcoming
Sometimes default sorting just doesn’t show you what you want. Well, now you can just drag and drop to override it, and order your day as you see fit... or even time block right in Today with durations!
Please consider adding the option to manually sort tasks when you have the list sorted by Project in the Today view. Right now, you can only choose ascending or descending (& I don’t even know what those mean.) I’d like to be able to drag and drop to reorder.
“Today at a Glance”
Avoid overload
Ever get a little too optimistic when planning your day? It happens!
Now our new task + time total in Today will help remind you Earth days are only 24 hours long,* so you can keep your plans realistic (and avoid unnecessary stress).
*Fun fact: a day on Venus is 5832 hours long... almost enough to handle that Monday after vacation!

Working swiftly to improve Todoist means some boo-boo’s are bound to happen along the way. When they do, we turn to our elite Papercuts squad to diagnose and fix issues, no matter how complicated the case!
Here’s a few of our faves...
Manual sort in Today and Upcoming
Better drag and drop
Offline attachments
More precise search results
Boards in Filters and Labels
Fix comments with attachments
Multi-select completed tasks
Persistent completed tasks
I’m glad that at Doist we had
a squad dedicated to tackle these types of things. There’s usually not much time to iterate and improve on past work
—there’s always something new to work on!

Welcome to Enlightenment
Germans are very safety-oriented!
With thousands of tasks completed, these tried-and-true Todoisters have reached our highest level of achievement. But they know it’s about the journey, not the destination.

12484 tasks, 7 years, 3 weeks, 6 days after I started my Todoist journey on 19 Oct 2016, I’ve joined just 0.05% of all Todoist users to ever reach Todoist Karma Enlightenment.
Next level to reach @todoist?😃
Ps: thanks for the Gold Theme”😊
A couple of years of getting my life on track, and I've finally achieved the top karma level of Enlightened in @todoist 😁🤘
I never expected my love for a physical calendar could be transferred, but I can definitely say I'm sticking with this for a while yet 😍

Thank you Amir and the whole Todoist Team. It’s a pleasure using your tool daily and it helped me become really successful in reaching my target.
Almost 6 years in the making, I told my wife to put this on my tombstone. Still by far the best task manager out there and improving with every update.
Thanks for the sense of achievement and keep up the good work!
