Todoist for linux
Authors: cyfrost
Usage
Todoist is available as an AppImage which means 'one app = one file', which you can download and run on your Linux system while you don't need a package manager and nothing gets changed in your system. Awesome!
AppImages are single-file applications that run on most Linux distributions. Download an application, make it executable, and run! No need to install. No system libraries or system preferences are altered.Most AppImages run on recent versions of Arch Linux, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, Red Hat, Ubuntu, and other common desktop distributions.
Running Todoist on Linux without installation
Unlike other applications, AppImages do not need to be installed before they can be used. However, they need to be marked as executable before they can be run. This is a Linux security feature.Behold! AppImages are usually not verified by others. Follow these instructions only if you trust the developer of the software. Use at your own risk!
Download the Todoist AppImage and make it executable using your file manager or by entering the following commands in a terminal:
Then double-click the AppImage in the file manager to open it.
Sandboxing Todoist
If you want to restrict what Todoist can do on your system, you can run the AppImage in a sandbox like Firejail. This is entirely optional and currently needs to be configured by the user.
Updating Todoist
If you would like to update to a new version, simply download the new Todoist AppImage.
Integrating AppImages into the system
If you would like to have the executable bit set automatically, and would like to see Todoist and other AppImages integrated into the system (menus, icons, file type associations, etc.), then you may want to check the optional appimaged daemon.
Note for application authors
Thanks for distributing Todoist in the AppImage format for all common Linux distributions. Great! Here are some ideas on how to make it even better.
Pro Tips for further enhancing the Todoist AppImage
Please consider to add update information to the Todoist AppImage and ship a .zsync file so that it can be updated using AppImageUpdate. Tools like appimagetool and linuxdeployqt can do this for you easily.
Improve this entry by shipping an AppStream metainfo file inside the AppImage in the usr/share/metainfo directory. We have an online tool that makes it easy to make one.

Prepare for a productivity boost because an official Todoist app for Linux desktops has been released.
Todoist Linux Applications
Todoist is a task and project management service with serious pedigree as more than 20 million people use it to arrange, plan, track, and collaborate on projects, tasks, and other todos.
Official Todoist apps have long been available on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. Now Linux joins the family too.
Using Todoist you can:
- Create and organise tasks quickly
- Set due dates and recurring due dates
- Collaborate on projects
- Assign tasks to other users
- Assign priority levels to tasksand subtasks
- Integrate with Gmail, Slack, Amazon Alexa, etc
The Todoist Linux app has all of the same features as the Todoist apps for macOS and Windows. This parity is made possible because these desktop apps aren’t really apps at all but wrappers around the (frequently updated) Todoist web app. A few extra bells and whistles (like a system tray item) are included though.
Though a web-wrapped app isn’t as exciting as a native client the feature parity among the desktop apps is a definite boon. Linux users aren’t left out or treated any differently. The app also works offline; it’s web-based but not web-dependent.
Overall, Todoist manages to strike a balance between powerful features and ease of use. It’s not as souped-up as other, more serious task management software but is far more accessible to regular users as a result. Todoist describes itself as the tool you can “take anywhere” and with the Linux version now available that claim is finally true.
If you don’t currently use to-do list software then Todoist is a great place to start. Its clear, uncluttered, and easy to master with enough advanced features tucked beneath the surface should you need them.
