Using OpenTodo › Switch from another appVersion 0.13.0

Switch from Any.do

Any.do has no export button, but it sends you a copy of your data when you ask for it.

Request your data from Any.do#

1. In Any.do, open Settings → Privacy (on the web: your profile, then Privacy), and choose Request my data (or write to Any.do's support asking for a copy of your personal data).
2. Any.do emails you a download, usually within a few days. Unpack it if it is a ZIP; the tasks are in a .json file.

Any.do does not document this file, and its format may change without notice. If the import does not recognise your file, tell us and attach a copy with the personal text removed.

Import into OpenTodo#

1. Open Settings → Data → Import data (or press g then Shift+I).
2. Choose the JSON file. The preview shows Any.do (JSON from a data request).
3. Check the warnings and select Import.

What carries over#

• Each list becomes a project. Your default list (usually Personal) goes to your Inbox or the target project.
• Titles, notes (as the description) and subtasks.
• High priority becomes p1.
• Due dates, with their time unless the task was due "any time" that day.
• Daily, weekly, monthly and yearly repeats.
• Tags as labels, and the reminder as a reminder at the same moment.
• Completed tasks, with their time.

The full mapping is in Import formats.

What does not#

• Deleted tasks are in the file but skipped; the preview says how many.
• Shared lists: other members are dropped with a warning; share the project again.
• Attachments are not in the file.
• The "My Day" plan is dropped; use Today instead.
