Bring your notes and tasks with you
Switching apps is annoying. Pikos reads the formats most note and task apps already export, and it shows you everything it's about to create before it writes a single page.
Markdown vaults
Point Pikos at a folder of .md files. Folders come across, with nested ones flattened into names like "Projects / Work". YAML frontmatter at the top of each file (tags, dates, status) is read and applied. Image attachments come across, and wikilinks arrive as plain text.
Any tool that writes plain Markdown works. The walkthrough uses Obsidian, because that's the common case.
TickTick CSV
Use TickTick's "Backup data" feature to download a CSV. Pikos auto-detects the format and brings across lists, task titles, descriptions, statuses, priorities, tags, scheduled times, reminders, and recurring rules.
All-day events stay all-day. Multi-day events keep their span. Subtasks reconnect to their parents.
Todoist CSV
Export each Todoist project as CSV from the web app. Task titles, descriptions, priorities, tags, and scheduled dates come across.
Repeats don't carry across, because Todoist stores them as a phrase rather than as a rule. Each task arrives with its next due date.
Any other CSV
If your app exports to CSV, Pikos will read it. The first time it sees an unknown format, you map each column to a Pikos field (title, body, date, status, etc.) in a side-by-side preview. The mapping is just for that import. Change a column, change the result.
Coming from somewhere else?
Send a sample export to [email protected] and I'll add proper support for it.
Anonymize it first. Replace task titles and notes with placeholder text. I only need the column structure and a few representative rows, not your actual data. Dates, priorities, and tags can stay as they are.
