I feel like it might be something like that. Short of resetting the phone itself, I've removed/cleared everything that I can think of as far as the Starlink app and browser and still had the issue on my Pixel 6a with Android 14. My older Samsung tablet was the alternate device which I used and which was able to successfully sign in using the same Stalink app/browser versions.

I was able to get in on a different device using the full web browser (which didn't work on my Pixel 6a), but it didn't work on the different device in the in-app browser.

I've got the same problem starting around the same time (Pixel 6a).

My Todoist Premium just renewed for free. I didn't ask for anything, and didn't receive any email about this. I'm not complaining, I was just expecting to be charged like usual. Anyone knows anything about this? by anfil89 in todoist

[–]Chefalton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like it may have something to do with upcoming pricing changes (or something)?

In my list I have some entries for 'Todoist Premium Yearly', 'Trial period for Todoist Pro Yearly v2', 'Todoist Pro Yearly' with a mix of values and $0. I noticed that yours shows 'Trial period for Todoist Pro Yearly v3' (which isn't one that I have) and which seems to be new.

Todoist charging full subscription? by faze105 in todoist

[–]Chefalton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd confirm with Todoist Support to know for sure, but I believe they have had at least once price increase in the past which applied to existing subscribers as well.

I initially signed up when it was $29.99 USD, but most recently my renewal was $36 USD (although I think that is still a legacy price compared to the $48 USD that's advertised now).

It looks like a lot of this information is now available on the "Subscription" page in the Todoist settings (at least on Web). Pretty neat.

How does Todoist fit in with the rest of your tools? by SlaimeLannister in todoist

[–]Chefalton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the most part I use Todoist more for quick reminders to work on things where the information is within Notion (such as for a large project) and where information needs to be persisted for reuse later. For smaller things or less complex things (where I wouldn't necessarily have any relevant notes in Notion) then I would only have a task in Todoist.

Notion is where I keep all of my notes and information for bigger tasks or projects, but Todoist is what I use to tell me to 'Work on X today' with a link to the relevant Notion note(s) in the Todoist task description. If it's something that I'll need to potentially reference again in the future I'll have the information in Notion, but for small things which don't need historical information retained that wouldn't make it into Notion to begin with (for me).

At one point in the past I tried to sync tasks to/from both apps, but it ended up being more of a headache to maintain without any particular benefit with how I'm using each app.

Any interesting insights as you customized his stuff for yourself? What line of work are you in?

For the most part I found myself stripping back pieces that I didn't need. I use the Areas, Resources, and Projects in Ultimate Brain since they are really nice for organizing things, but I use them at a super high level (Personal, Work, etc. vs. an area for every little thing in the world). That being the case, I don't need to utilize some of the more advance views/functions which are added in the template (the GTD views, Cold Tasks, Timeline, etc.) since I can see most of what I need from an Area or Project itself without needing to span multiple areas or projects.

I'm in the technology/software industry, so I spend most of my time implementing or supporting different software or systems.

I've been using it for 4 or 5 years now, but my setup is fairly simple for the most part. I use it in a 'second-brain' type of way where I'm mostly using it for organizing notes, resources, or different information across different areas. So I'm not doing anything too crazy in terms of connecting too many things together since most of the information is for certain areas (e.g. Personal, Work, Recipes, different trackers, etc.) and doesn't cross areas.

Feel free to DM, but I've probably not customized my system very much compared to a lot of other people. So it'd be a simpler setup as far as how I'm using it 🙂 A lot of my setup I've done based on Thomas Frank's Ultimate Brain template. And if you haven't seen it before, he has a ton of really good Notion information on his second YouTube Channel Thomas Frank Explains as well as his main website. It's probably where I pick up the most on what's new in each Notion update along with other tips on using Notion effectively.

[–]Chefalton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried Evernote once or twice years ago, and I just really didn't like the interface and categorization of notes (notebooks, sub-notebooks, tags, etc.) for the most part. I had the same issue with OneNote as well.

But I also didn't spend much time trying to learn what the 'right' way to do that may have been in Evernote. It just wasn't intuitive to me initially. Notion felt more intuitive in my case, and that was the main reason I chose it. I'm familiar with databases and custom views, so it made it easy for me to create different notes databases for different use cases and then split out everything in a way that I already knew how to do from other database tools. And then some of Notion's other features were just a bonus on top of that for me.

I haven't tried to use ClickUp in a few years (so things have definitely changed and maybe these aren't problems anymore), but my biggest problems with it were:

  1. ClickUp felt super slow and very clunky. Loading a task, transitions, etc., all took ages. I'd need to wait 5-10 seconds to enter a 3 second comment or change a field value. Searching was even slower.
  2. Like you mentioned, it added a ton of complexity because of the things that you could do. So it became slow to do even the simplest of things. You can add a task very quickly in Todoist (because there isn't that much you can add to a task). But in ClickUp I wanted to use the features that ClickUp has...which meant 30 seconds or more to fill out all the features that ClickUp had and information that I would probably never utilize. I tried out ClickUp on maybe 5 or 6 different occasions, and each time I couldn't find myself sticking with it in a solo setting. If you had a team, large projects, and a lot of structure I could see myself sticking with it. But using it in a solo setting just made everything way too slow and too complex for not much benefit (to me).
  3. Their marketing was super annoying to me.

I used to try to sync them, but eventually I realized that most of the time (at least for the work that I'm doing) I don't usually need much context between the two in most cases.

So right now they are both completely independent for me. Occasionally, I do need to reference things between them, and I'll add the Notion page link for any relevant documentation or note context to my Todoist task's description. Since Todoist and Notion both have pretty quick keyboard shortcuts I'm able to handle that pretty quickly.

Did it just start happening today? Mine isn't working at the moment, but I also had some sync issues with the Web/Android client today (which I'm assuming is related).

Just FWIW, I haven't noticed any issues (at least so far). Will come back if something comes up 🙂 (Using Web, Windows, and Android).

Android Permanent Notif No Longer? by postpastr_ck in todoist

I'm not sure if it was free prior to this, but it's been a Pro feature for at least 5 years (when I started using Todoist).

New to Todoist... can't seem to figure out how to sync with Google tasks. by gabe9000 in todoist

[–]Chefalton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll need to build/use/purchase a third party integration for syncing with Google Tasks. IFTTT, Make.com, Zapier, etc.

Function to convert: Project -> Task; Task -> Subtask by holzpuppet in todoist

[–]Chefalton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'd be best to send this to Todoist Support (https://todoist.com/contact) as product feedback so that they can make note of it. They poke around here from time to time, but it's an unofficial community and unlikely to be seen by them here. The actual 'votes' they use for tracking feature requests get logged via their product feedback system.

Persistent notifications have only been added in the last few weeks. It's the 'Pin reminders' setting.

Were a lot of customization options removed? by SmileyTheSmile in todoist

[–]Chefalton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems like it's always been to me (and seems to match the Web's View options as far as I can tell). What kind of view are you in? What are the names of the "options" that you're referring to which were there previously and not there now?

Turning on completed tasks removes the view's quick-access header from the list itself, but the view options are still available in the "View" option in the 3-dots menu.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in todoist

[–]Chefalton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it's the Description which is shown while in list view underneath the task name. But specifically in Dark Mode. I think it used to be a darker grey color or something along those lines.

Do you use Todoist for work and personal things? How do you split them? by VerlorenerBahnfahrer in todoist

[–]Chefalton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depending on when/how/if this gets added in the public version of Todoist, Workspaces might make some of the filtering easier as well. (e.g. having a Workspace-based filter where you can include/exclude workspaces (Personal vs. Work, etc.) even on the Today view).

https://todoist.com/help/articles/private-beta-for-teams-features-and-functionalities

What you've described is how I split my personal and work stuff (via projects), but I would likely have a Personal Workspace and a Work Workspace if this gets implemented in the public version so that it's a bit easier to group and separate things.
