Free

Spark is an email client for iOS and macOS that allows you to better organize and take control of your inbox.

Among its many time-saving features, there’s a Smart Inbox that automatically categorizes your email, Smart Snooze that postpones an email until you're ready for it, and a deep list of powerful integrations to customize your workflow. Spark is a useful tool to cut through the noise and work with the emails that are important to you.

What does the Todoist/Spark integration do?

You can add emails as Todoist tasks while using Spark.

Later, when viewing the Spark-based task in Todoist, you can click the task name and the email will open in Spark.

What does a Spark task look like in Todoist?

When looking at a Spark-based task in Todoist, it will have the Open email in Spark link in the task, as shown below:

When you add a task from within Spark, unfortunately Todoist won't recognize quick add tags like @label, #projectname or p1. However, you can add them to the task later from within Todoist.
