  • Click to the "Source" tab.
  • In the "Text Source" dropdown, select "Todoist > Load Todoist items...".
  • In the pop-window, read the instructions to supply your Todoist API Token.

Copy your Todoist API key, paste into the Minus Settings area, and click "Connect".

Enjoy your new Todoist Task Bar

Your new Todoist Task Bar is ready. Click "Enable" when you are ready to start doing work.

Note

  • Based on customer feedback, we may consider expanding the Task Bar so that it can read more lists, projects, labels, and filters within Todoist. Please email us to describe the workflow you need and we will consider your request for a future release. (support@minus.io)
