Manage your Todoist tasks without leaving Visual Studio. A dockable tool window
that shows what is due, lets you add and finish tasks, and can capture a task
straight from the code you are looking at.
What it does
A task list grouped the way you think about work — Overdue, Today, Tomorrow,
Next 7 days, Later, No date — with priority, project, due date and labels.
Add tasks in Todoist's own syntax. Type Fix the parser #Work @bug p1 tomorrow
and it is parsed by Todoist exactly as it would be in their apps, with a separate
description field.
Edit in place. Change a task's name, description or due date without leaving
the window. Complete or reschedule with one click.
Comments and attachments. Tasks that have them show an icon; click to read a
comment or open an attachment.
Capture a task from your code. Select a line, press Ctrl+K, Ctrl+T, and the
selection becomes a task with the file name and line number recorded — then jump
back to that exact spot later.
One Visual Studio window, one Todoist project. Attach each window to a
different project, so two solutions open side by side stay separate. New tasks go
to the attached project.
Filter as you type, on task text, project or label.
Capture a task from your code. Select a line, press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+A, and the
selection becomes a task with the file name and line number recorded — then jump
back to that exact spot later.
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+T opens the window; it is also under View > Other Windows > Todoist Tasks.
Security and privacy
- No client secret ships in this extension. Sign-in uses OAuth 2.0 with PKCE as a
public client, so there is nothing sensitive inside the package to extract.
- Your tokens stay on your machine, encrypted with Windows DPAPI under your user
account, and deliberately kept out of Visual Studio's roaming settings so they never
sync to another device.
- Least privilege. Only the
data:read_write scope is requested — not deletion,
not backups. You see the exact list on Todoist's consent screen.
- No telemetry of any kind. Nothing is collected, and nothing is sent anywhere
except
api.todoist.com. One command — Add Todoist task from selection — uploads
the code you selected, because that is what creating the task requires; this is
spelled out in the
privacy statement.
- Signing out revokes the token with Todoist, rather than only forgetting it locally.
