The Productivity view in Todoist is the perfect place to review your completed tasks, track how well you’re achieving your goal, and see how many Karma points you’ve accumulated.
What can I see in the Productivity view?
The Productivity view lets you see how many tasks you’ve completed on a daily and weekly basis, how much progress you’re making towards your daily and weekly goals, and which projects you’re working on most.
You can also review your Karma, which is a points system in Todoist that rewards you for completing tasks, achieving goals and more.
How to use the Productivity view
Let’s start by viewing your Productivity:
- Click on your daily goal count in the top-right corner to open Your Productivity.
- Swipe up the bottom app bar to open the menu.
- Tap your avatar to open Productivity.
- From Todoist's main menu, tap the productivity icon in the top-left to open Productivity.
View completed tasks
The first thing you’ll notice in Productivity is how many tasks you’ve completed in total, which is also a link to View all completed tasks. Click or tap this option to see which tasks you’ve completed lately.
Daily and Weekly goals
In the center of Productivity, you’ll see how many tasks you’ve completed today and whether you’ve completed your daily goal.
In addition to daily goals, Todoist keeps track of your weekly goals. You can view the weekly goal by clicking the Weekly tab in Productivity. You’ll be able to see how many tasks you’ve completed this week and how much progress you’ve made towards your goal.
By default, your daily goal is 5 and your weekly goal is 25. However, you can edit these at any time on the web, Windows, or macOS app, through the Karma Goals and Settings link or Edit goal links.
Below your goals, you can check out your streak. Your streak is the number of days or weeks in a row that you’ve achieved your goal. You’ll also see your longest streak to keep you motivated.
Completed Task Summary
To get an idea of which projects you’re working on most, you can look at a summary of tasks you’ve completed in the last 7 days.
The colors represent the colors of the projects where you completed tasks. The vertical gray line represents your daily goal.
Karma
As you successfully complete tasks on time in Todoist, you’ll gain Karma points and achieve new Karma levels. You can see your current Karma points and level by selecting the Karma tab in Productivity.

FAQ
I don't want to use daily goals. Can I turn off the daily goal icon in my account?
Unfortunately, you can't turn off the daily goal icon at this point, but you can turn off Karma using the Productivity settings. A workaround is to go into the Productivity settings and set your Daily goal to 0. The daily goal icon will always be completed then and won't get in your way.
