Import from Todoist

Move a Todoist export into Mindwtr and reorganize it into a GTD system.

Supported input

Mindwtr supports Todoist exports when the current app build includes the importer for the format you select, commonly CSV exports.

What imports preserve

  • Task title
  • Description or notes when available
  • Dates where the export provides them
  • Project grouping where it maps cleanly to Mindwtr
  • Labels where they can become tags or contexts

After import

Todoist projects and labels may not map one-to-one to GTD projects and contexts. Use Review to clarify what each imported item means.

Good migration workflow

  1. Export from Todoist.
  2. Export a Mindwtr backup.
  3. Run the import.
  4. Check projects, dates, and labels.
  5. Move only trusted actions into Focus.

Mindwtr is free, open source, and local-first.
