Obsidian Todoist Plugin (Sync with Todoist, v2.6.0)

An unofficial plugin that integrates Todoist tasks into your Obsidian vault. Primarily one-way sync (Todoist → Obsidian), with limited ability to create tasks from Obsidian. Works on desktop and mobile.


Reference files

Load these only when the user's question requires the detail:

File When to read
references/query-blocks.md User asks about embedding tasks, query syntax, filter options, sorting, groupBy, show, autorefresh, view
references/commands-and-config.md User asks about add task command, sync command, or any plugin configuration setting

1. Installation

Via Obsidian (recommended): Open this link in Obsidian: obsidian://show-plugin?id=todoist-sync-plugin Or visit: https://obsidian.md/plugins?id=todoist-sync-plugin

Manual:

  1. Settings → Community Plugins → enable community plugins
  2. Browse → search "Todoist Sync" → Install → Enable

2. API Token Setup

After enabling the plugin:

  1. A popup asks for your Todoist API token
  2. Enter the token directly or use "Paste from clipboard"
  3. A checkmark appears if the token is valid
  4. Click Save

Token is stored in Obsidian's built-in secret storage by default. File-based storage (.obsidian/todoist-token) is available in configuration — avoid syncing that file if you share your vault.


3. Quick Start

Embed tasks in a note:

```todoist
filter: "today | overdue"
```

Only filter is required. All other options (name, autorefresh, sorting, groupBy, show, view) are optional. → For full query block reference, read references/query-blocks.md

Add a task from Obsidian: Command Palette → "Add task" (pre-populates with any selected text) → For command variants and configuration, read references/commands-and-config.md
