Here’s how you can import your to-dos from other apps into Things.

This page is about importing to-dos on the Mac. To import to-dos on your iPhone or iPad directly from Todoist, open Things and tap Settings >Import.

How to Use the AppleScripts

Some of the import options below require you to download an AppleScript. Here’s how to use it:

Download the AppleScript you’d like to use via the Download AppleScript link.
Locate the downloaded file and double-click it. This will launch the AppleScript Editor.
In the toolbar, click the ▶ Run button.

Import from Apple Reminders

This option requires macOS 10.15, iOS 13, or iPadOS 13.

Your lists are imported as projects in Things, but some of them might be better off as areas. Consider creating a new area and moving your to-dos over. Repeating to-dos are imported, but are not set to repeat, please re-create them inside Things. Apple doesn’t expose all Reminders data to us, so the following data are not imported: attachments, list groups, sub-task indentation, flagged status, priority, location-based reminders.

Mac

On your Mac, open Things.
In the menu bar at the top of your screen, click File >Import >Import From Reminders.
In the new window, click Import Now to start the migration.

If you’re looking for ways to quickly add individual to-dos to Things via Reminders check out this page instead. (requires macOS 10.14 and better)

iPad

On your iPad, open Things.
In the sidebar, tap > Reminders Inbox.
Tap Open Reminders Importer.
In the new pop-up window, tap Import Now to start the migration.

If you’re looking for ways to quickly add individual to-dos to Things via Reminders, for example by speaking them to Siri, check out this page instead (requires iOS 12.1 or later).

iPhone

On your iPhone, open Things.
In the main view, scroll to the bottom and tap Settings > Reminders Inbox.
Tap Open Reminders Importer.

Watch

You can use Siri to speak Reminders on your Apple Watch, which will then be created in the Reminders app on your iPhone. To add individual Reminders to Things, please check out this page.

Import from OmniFocus 2 or 3 (Pro)

Imports projects and to-dos with due dates and notes, converts top-level folders to areas, and contexts to tags. Once downloaded, unzip the file and double-click the app to run it. Please note that only the Pro version of OmniFocus provides AppleScript support, so it will only work if you have that version installed.

Import from Wunderlist

As of May 6, 2020, Wunderlist has shut down and no longer offers any export option for your data. In turn, it’s no longer possible to import your data to Things. As of now, we do not offer import options for Microsoft To Do.

Import from Todoist

Imports to-dos and projects. Projects with children will become projects in Things; projects without children will become Areas in Things. Repeating to-dos are converted to normal to-dos and you have to make them repeat manually. Labels become tags.

Mac

On your Mac, open Things.
In the menu bar at the top of your screen, click File >Import From >Import From Todoist.

iPad

On your iPad, open Things.
Go to >Import >Import from Todoist.

iPhone

On your iPhone, open Things.
Go to Settings >Import >Import from Todoist.

Import from Outlook for Mac

When you run the script, you’ll be provided with some options for including projects, completed to-dos, categories, and priorities. Notes will be imported as HTML markup.

Import from Toodledo

Uses a Toodledo XML export file. Imports to-dos with due dates, notes, and contexts as tags. Creates projects from your project folders. To-dos without a project go into the Next list.

Import from a plaintext file

Creates a to-do for each line in a plaintext file. If you hit ⇥ Tab after a title, the text that follows will be imported as a note: title⇥ Tabnote

Copy and paste text

If you quickly want to convert a simple list from an app like Apple Notes, Apple Mail or any other text app into to-dos in Things, here’s how:

Mac

Copy a plain text list and hit ⌘ Cmd + V inside Things. Each line of text will be converted into a separate to-do.
Copy a plain text list and hit ⌘ Cmd + V inside an open to-do. The first line of text will be converted into the title of your to-do, the rest of the text will be added to the notes of the to-do.

iPad

Copy a plain text list and hit in the top right corner in Things. Each line of text will be converted into a separate to-do.
Copy a plain text list, tap into the title of a new to-do in Things, and hit in the top right corner. The first line of text will be converted into the title of your to-do, the rest of the text will be added to the notes of the to-do.

iPhone

Copy a plain text list, tap into the title of a new to-do in Things, and hit in the top right corner. The first line of text will be converted into the title of your to-do, the rest of the text will be added to the notes of the to-do.

Todoist has helped
millions of people completeover 1.5 billion tasks
in 150+ million projects.

I literally couldn’t do my job or even manage all the business of being a fully functioning parent and spouse without Todoist.

As a software engineer, it’s useful to break down big projects into smaller tasks, and Todoist is perfect for that purpose.

I kept track of all my school tasks in Todoist and, in 2016, I became the first one in my family to obtain a bachelor’s degree.

Todoist has revolutionized the way we run our small business by helping us simplify projects and coordinate tons of details.
