Taskio - TODO List

Turn TODO, FIXME and BUG comments into real, actionable tasks inside Visual Studio Code.

Taskio scans your codebase for TODO-style comments and transforms them into a centralized task list, helping developers track pending work without leaving the editor.

Features

• Automatically detects TODO, FIXME and BUG comments
• Displays all tasks in a dedicated Tree View
• Fast search across TODO comments
• Task priorities using markers (!, !!, !!!)
• Customizable highlight colors and behavior
• Lightweight and fast (no performance impact)

How It Works

Taskio continuously scans your workspace for comment keywords and keeps them organized in a task tree.

No setup required — install and start writing TODOs.

Supported Keywords

By default, Taskio detects the following keywords:

• TODO
• FIXME
• BUG

You can fully customize this list in the extension settings.

Customization

Taskio can be configured via the VS Code Settings UI or directly in settings.json.

Example configuration

{
  "taskio.keywords": ["TODO", "FIXME", "BUG"],
  "taskio.color": "#6042f5",
  "taskio.enhanceAllText": false,
  "taskio.priorityMarkers": {
    "high": "!!!",
    "medium": "!!",
    "low": "!"
  }
}

Configuration options

• taskio.keywords
  Defines which comment keywords are recognized as tasks.

• taskio.color
  Sets the highlight color used to mark tasks in the editor.

• taskio.enhanceAllText
  Highlights the entire comment line instead of only the keyword.

• taskio.priorityMarkers
  Defines how task priority is detected using repeated characters.

Priority Markers

You can define task priority directly in your comments using exclamation marks:

• ! → Low priority
• !! → Medium priority
• !!! → High priority

Example

// TODO! Refactor this function
// FIXME!! Handle edge cases
// BUG!!! Crashes on startup

Higher priority tasks are visually distinguished in the task tree and search results.
