1. Installation
Via Obsidian (recommended):
Open this link in Obsidian:
Or visit: https://obsidian.md/plugins?id=todoist-sync-plugin
obsidian://show-plugin?id=todoist-sync-pluginManual:
- Settings → Community Plugins → enable community plugins
- Browse → search "Todoist Sync" → Install → Enable
2. API Token Setup
After enabling the plugin:
- A popup asks for your Todoist API token
- Enter the token directly or use "Paste from clipboard"
- A checkmark appears if the token is valid
- Click Save
Token is stored in Obsidian's built-in secret storage by default. File-based storage () is available in configuration — avoid syncing that file if you share your vault.
