Prerequisites and notes

Taskbutler is not associated or connected with Todoist, Dropbox,Github or Microsoft.

1. You’ll need a Todoist premium account
2. The Dropbox Paper and Github features require a free account atDropbox. The Microsoft Office365 feature requires a paid Office365subscription(or a free Microsoft Office 365 Education subscription).This is optional and not required to use the other features of taskbutler!
3. Taskbutler is tested on Ubuntu
4. For optimal use, Taskbutler should run periodical on aserver/computer to continuously update your tasks

Even though I never experienced any data loss, it’s nice to knowthatTodoist provides a daily backup of your data.

If you used Taskbutler before and want to change a setting: Rememberto stop Taskbutler before changing any setting and always update yourexisting Todoist tasks manually according to your changes beforestarting Taskbutler again.

Taskbutler is not aware of your changes and will mix and mess up yourtasks. Changes can easily be tested by using a different labelname.

Edit the config section in config.ini:

Change progressbar symbols

The bar is implemented by adding unicode charaters to the existingtext. e.g. ⬛⬛⬜⬜⬜ 33 %

To change the bar to bullets, just overwrite thecharacters with other characters ‘’⚫⚫⚫⚪⚪’’.

Change progressbar seperator

To separate the task-text from the progressbar, a rare unicode characteris used. Just replace the seperator in the ‘’config.ini’’ file.

Remember to rename the separator manually in Todoist before runningTaskbutler again!

Edit progressbar label

The bar added to every task with the label ‘’progressbar’’. Thelabel-name can be changed in the ‘’config.ini’’ file:

Remember to rename the label in Todoist when renaming labels!
