Export from TickTick#
TickTick creates a backup as one CSV file from its settings (look for Backup). Download it; it is named like TickTick-backup-2026-10-14.csv.
Import into OpenTodo#
- Open Settings → Data → Import data (or press
gthenShift+I). - Choose the CSV file. The preview shows TickTick backup (CSV).
- Check the warnings and select Import.
Lists you used as a board (kanban) open as boards on this device.
What carries over#
- Folders become parent projects; lists become projects inside them.
- Board columns become sections.
- Checklists become a task with one subtask per item; checked items are completed.
- Subtasks, tags, descriptions and priorities (high, medium, low, none become p1–p4).
- Due dates and times as you saw them, all-day tasks as dates.
- Reminders and repeat rules, when OpenTodo's recurrence rules can express them.
- Completed tasks; abandoned ones are completed with the label
canceled.
The full mapping is in Import formats.
What does not#
- Attachments, habits, focus records and comments are not part of the CSV backup.
- Repeat rules OpenTodo cannot express are dropped with a warning; the task is kept.
