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 tasks
• Task priorities using markers (!, !!, !!!)
• Priority-based task ordering (high → low)
• Export tasks to JSON and Markdown
• 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.

Tree View Actions

The Taskio Tree View provides quick actions via built-in VS Code icons:

• $(search) Search
  Quickly search tasks across the workspace.

• $(list-unordered) Organize
  Organize tasks by priority, file or folder.

• $(export) Export
  Export tasks to JSON or Markdown.

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": "!"
  }
}

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.

Exporting Tasks

Taskio supports exporting tasks for documentation or reporting:

• JSON export for integrations and tooling
• Markdown export for README files and reports

Exported tasks include file path, line number, priority and clean descriptions.
