About Todoist

For a long time, I was using Todoist, a todo-list task tracking app to keep track of everything including recipes, lists, and random thoughts. But Todoist isn't great for doing non-todo related things, so I wanted to move many of my Todoist projects over to Apple Notes with each Todoist task mapping to an individual Note. Contrary to what you might believe, this wasn't easy.

Migrating tasks from Todoist to Apple Notes

1. Go to a Todoist project and choose Export as Template and then choose CSV as the format
2. Run cli todoist <location_of_exported_csv_file from the command line (after setting up this cli tool). A directory will be created at `$CLI_DIR/output/"
3. In Apple Notes, run File -> Import to Notes and choose the folder that was just created from the running the cli tool. You should see everything imported into Apple Notes under a folder called "Imported Notes"
