It shows sub-task trees nested inline in Today, Upcoming, Boards, Filters, and Labels, where Todoist flattens them. It also adds a focus timer, time estimates, and a font picker. It is unofficial and not affiliated with or endorsed by Doist. ## What it does Outside the project view, Todoist lists a sub-task as its own row and you lose the parent context. Todowing nests sub-tasks under their parent up to four levels deep in date and filter views. Each sub-task row shows its own due date, priority, and labels, and you can check off or reopen a sub-task without opening it. The extension talks directly to the Todoist API from your browser. ## Who it's for Todoist users who plan their day in Today or Upcoming and want the full sub-task hierarchy there. It also suits people who want a focus timer beside their task list, time estimates per task, or Todoist in a different font and text size. It works with any Todoist plan, and Todoist Pro is not required. ## Pricing & access - Free, $0: nested sub-tasks with full row detail, 5 sub-task rows per top-level task, seven palettes, and a text-size slider. No account required. - Lifetime unlock, $19.99 one time: unlimited sub-task rows, sub-task editing, focus sessions with estimates, one task filed in two places, the font picker, a notes pad, hide-done, and Apple Calendar events. It includes future upgrades. The site lists the price as rising to $29.99 after the first 50 licenses. - No subscription, and refunds are no-questions-asked within 14 days. ## Key features - Inline sub-task nesting up to four levels deep, with due date, priority, and labels on each row - Add, rename, and reorder sub-tasks, and hide done sub-tasks with one toggle (unlock) - File a task under a parent in another project without moving it (unlock) - Focus timer that runs one session across all open tabs, plus time estimates with totals in Todoist's header (unlock) - Notes pad above Today with light markdown, stored only in your browser (unlock) - Seven palettes that re-tint dark Todoist themes, and a text size slider from 85% to 200% - Font picker with 50 Google Fonts (unlock) - Read-only Apple Calendar events from up to five calendars shown in Today (unlock) ## Privacy Your Todoist API token stays in your browser and goes only to the official Todoist API.
