Use a Todoist widget on an Apple device

Check if your Mac is running on macOS Sonoma (14.x). Then, follow the steps in this Apple Support article to add the Todoist widget to your desktop or Notification Center.

The MacOS widget provides an overview of your tasks. When clicking on the widget, it automatically opens your Todoist app.

Add a home screen widget

1. Touch and hold anywhere on your Home Screen until your apps start to wiggle.
2. Tap the Add button on the top-left.
3. Scroll down and tap the Todoist icon.

A menu will open where you can swipe to choose the widget you want to add — Tasks, Productivity, or Add Task:

• Tasks widget: Available as a small, medium, or large widget. This widget gives you a compact overview of all tasks in a certain view, like Today or Upcoming, or a project, filter, or label.
  On iOS 17, you can complete tasks directly from the medium and large Tasks widget.
• Productivity widget: Available as a medium widget. This widget gives you an overview of your current productivity stats, like how close you are to reaching your daily or weekly goals, as well as your current Karma score.
• Add Task widget: Available as a small widget. This widget lets you open Quick Add from your iOS Home Screen, so you can quickly add a new task to Todoist.

Add a lock screen widget

If your device is running iOS 16 or above, you'll be able to add widgets to your Lock Screen.

1. Touch and hold the Lock Screen.
2. Tap Customize.
3. Tap Lock Screen.

   • Productivity: View your productivity stats.
7. Tap the Close button.
8. Tap Done in the top-right.

If this is your first time customizing a Lock Screen on your device, you'll need to pick a wallpaper for your Lock Screen. If you've added a customized Lock Screen before, you can edit an existing Lock Screen.
