Todoist
Task & Project Management
Todoist keeps the system. Fokus runs the day.
Import Todoist tasks with priorities and labels intact, schedule them onto your calendar, and define exactly what each side does when a task completes, changes, or disappears.
Integrations
What Fokus adds
Not a mirror of the other tool — capabilities that only exist once the two are connected.
Tasks arrive with their context
Todoist priorities and labels survive the trip — a p1 in Todoist is urgent in Fokus, and your label system keeps meaning something.
Real-time, both directions
Todoist webhooks push changes to Fokus the moment they happen; edits and completions in Fokus write back through the API just as fast.
Sync behavior you define per action
Completed, updated, deleted — for each event, in each direction, you choose the consequence: close, sync, delete, complete, or do nothing. No surprises in either system.
Per-project auto-import
Choose which Todoist projects feed your plan — “Work” syncs, “Someday/Maybe” doesn’t have to.
How the sync works
Under the hood
Todoist webhooks stream changes to Fokus in real time; your per-action sync rules decide what each change does on the other side.
-
A task is added to an enabled project
It appears in Fokus with priority and labels
-
You complete the task in Fokus
Your rule runs in Todoist — complete it, close it, or leave it
-
A task is updated in Todoist
Your rule runs in Fokus — sync the changes or ignore them
Settings, explained
The controls you actually get after connecting — exactly as they appear in Settings → Integrations.
Sync Settings
Auto-Import picks the projects; Sync Settings defines what happens on completed / updated / deleted — separately for each direction:
-
Auto-Import Settings · toggle individual projects
- Inbox
- Work
- Side project
Only enabled projects import their tasks into Fokus.
-
Fokus → Todoist · On task completed
What happens in Todoist when you complete a task in Fokus. Options: Close task, Sync changes, Delete task, Complete task, Do nothing.
-
Fokus → Todoist · On task deleted
Deleting in Fokus doesn’t have to touch Todoist — unless you want it to.
-
Todoist → Fokus · On task completed
Check it off on your phone in Todoist; the Fokus task — and its time block — resolve too.
-
Todoist → Fokus · On task updated
Renames, priority changes and label edits in Todoist flow into the Fokus copy.
