Todoist does offer its own native dark theme, but it’s not currently integrated with your device’s system setting. However, I’m disappointed that in today’s major release there’s still no support for system dark mode on iOS, not to mention advanced iPad functionality like multiwindow. It’s not uncommon for Todoist to take some time to gain new iOS system features because the app is cross-platform, spanning Android, Windows, the web, and more. I’m intrigued by the promised Upcoming View and Boards option, but on the more immediate horizon I’m hoping Todoist’s team has iOS 13 feature adoption at the top of its priority list. This makes it easy to keep track of which labels are your own, and which were set by your colleagues. Whenever a task in one of your shared projects has a label added to it, you’ll see that label in a new Shared section of your labels list. Todoist has long offered an excellent shared projects feature for collaboration, and now the app will apply that functionality to labels too. I really like what Todoist has done with its new task views: by emphasizing the most important options via design adjustments, they’ve made each view simpler to use while simultaneously, in the case of the new sub-tasks section, adding new functionality. Like the Quick Add view, the updated task view makes key metadata more prominent and everything easier to understand it also features a dedicated Sub-task section, where you can add and view all sub-tasks associated with that task. For existing tasks, tapping them loads a fresh task view which pops up from the bottom of the screen on iPhone as a modal card, while on iPad it slides in from the right side of the screen. When creating a task, the redesigned Quick Add view makes date and project more prominent than before, while still offering access to other options like flags, comments, and labels. Todoist has newly improved views for two key task screens. Todoist’s new Quick Add (left) and Task (center, right) views.
I find this especially handy in the Next 7 Days list, where the Dynamic Add button is an easy way to assign new tasks to a specific due date, but it also works great in projects, especially in conjunction with the new sections feature. Dynamic Add ButtonĪlso clearly inspired by Things 3, the button for adding new tasks in Todoist can now be picked up and dropped into the exact place you want that task in your list or project. If, for example, you create sections for a project based on the different ordered stages that need to be tackled, it could be a significant focus aid to hide future stages while keeping them close at hand for reference. I’ve found this a key addition so you can see only the tasks you want to focus on at any given time. Every section includes an arrow you can tap to either show or hide the tasks it contains. Though sections largely serve the same purpose as Things’ headings, they offer one functional benefit you won’t find in Things: they can be collapsed or expanded. Personally, I would have appreciated an option to see section information from within those other pages too, but even without that sections remain a valuable tool inside project views. Like in Things, sections are strictly a visual organization aid, they don’t actually impact a task’s metadata this means, for example, that when viewing a task inside the Today or Next 7 Days lists, you won’t see any information about which section a task is sorted under, only the project it’s assigned to. Sections can be reordered within a project via drag and drop, and you can drag and drop your tasks too as an easy way to sort them under a given section. When viewing any project in Todoist, tapping the triple-dot icon will reveal the option to add a section to that project. Sections are Todoist’s take on the same concept, but with one added bonus to them.

One of my favorite additions to Things when its big version 3 update launched was that you could add headings to your projects, enabling a new level of task organization. Sections are a new way to organize tasks inside projects.
