Filter Syntax

Todoist supports powerful filter queries:

• p1, p2, p3, p4 - Priority levels
• today, tomorrow, overdue
• @label - Tasks with label
• #project - Tasks in project
• search: keyword - Search

Notes

• Task IDs are shown in task listings
• Due dates support natural language ("tomorrow", "next monday", "jan 15")
• Priority 1 is highest, 4 is lowest
• Use --order <n> (1-based) or --order top to insert a task at a specific position within a project/section
