Due dates and times
An optional date, an optional time, and a timezone that follows your profile. Overdue and due-soon rows are tinted so you see them without reading them.
By ToDidIt Product TeamUpdated
From the date field on the task, or by typing it straight into the name while capturing: "Pay the invoice friday at 9" files it dated, with the words lifted back out of the name. See natural-language entry, which is free on every plan and not an AI call.
The time is separate and optional, so add one only when the time genuinely matters.
Dates are read in the timezone on your profile, which is why the welcome wizard asks for it. A task due today stays due today when you travel.
- Typing it is fastest: ⌘ K, then any date phrase in the task name is parsed as you type.
- Asking Didi is for when you do not know. Smart Due Dates proposes one from the priority and what is already on your plate, and only spends a To-Did if you keep the suggestion.
- Drafting a project dates everything at once. Project Blueprint returns the whole tree with relative due dates already set, which you edit before anything saves.
Tip
A task with no due date is not a failure state. Dates are for work that genuinely has to happen by a point in time. Putting one on everything just teaches you to ignore them.
Two states, both deliberately quiet: enough to catch your eye while scanning, not enough to make the app feel like it is shouting.
- Overdue rows carry a red left border and a faint red tint.
- Due soon rows get an amber one, meaning due within the next 24 hours.
Smart Due Dates will propose one based on priority and what is already on your plate, and Overdue Honesty helps with the ones that got away from you rather than just coloring them red.
Your dated work is also readable outside the app through the calendar feed.
