Sync with Toodledo

Use your Toodledo account to work with supported task data in 2Do and Toodledo. Choose the same Toodledo account on each of your 2Do devices.

Toodledo sync works during Android's full-featured trial and requires 2Do Pro after the trial ends. Your Toodledo account has its own service capabilities and limits.

What Toodledo Sync Carries​

2Do exchanges task titles, notes, start and due dates, times, repeats, completion, priority, stars, and assigned tags. Lists map to Toodledo folders by default.

2Do also stores extra task details with your Toodledo tasks. Projects and checklists can look different in other Toodledo clients, and native subtask support depends on your Toodledo account's capabilities.

Limitations​

Toodledo does not carry task attachments, Smart Lists, list groups, or the full set of 2Do's organization and alert features. Other clients may not understand the extra details 2Do stores in metadata.

For fuller exchange between your own 2Do devices, see iCloud or Dropbox.

Setup​

  1. Open Settings > Sync setup > Sync Method and choose Toodledo.
  2. Enter your Toodledo Username and Password under Credentials.
  3. Tap Sign in.
  4. Return to the task list and pull down to sync.
  5. If asked how to start, choose Replace data on this device to use the account's copy, or Merge local data with server to keep work from both sides.

Make a backup from Settings > Manage Backups and keep a copy off the device before replacing local work.

Toodledo Lists as Folders​

By default, a 2Do list maps to a Toodledo folder. Turn on Settings > Sync setup > Sync 2Do Lists as Contexts if you deliberately want lists to map to Toodledo contexts instead. Use the same mapping on the devices you sync so their list organization agrees.

Daily Sync​

Choose an interval under Sync automatically, or choose Never and pull down on the task list when you want to sync. Android can delay background work. See Background Sync on Android.

Common Issues​

"Could not retrieve info from the server, please try again later"​

Check your connection and wait before retrying. If the same error continues, keep its text and send 2Do's diagnostic logs to support.

"Login is not working" / "Incorrect Toodledo e-mail or password"​

Check that you can sign in to the intended account at Toodledo's website, then check the username and password in 2Do. Do not change an account password merely because a sync error occurred.

"Too many logins" failure​

Wait for Toodledo's restriction to clear before trying again. Repeated sign-in or sync attempts can continue to hit the limit. Follow any wait period stated in the service's error.

Lost lists or different counts across devices​

Confirm the account and folder/context mapping, sync the device with the complete copy, and let it finish. On another device, use Replace data on this device only after backing up work that exists only there.

Toodledo Contexts and Goals​

Contexts can be used as lists through Sync 2Do Lists as Contexts. 2Do does not provide a separate Toodledo Goals view. Check your chosen mapping before assuming a context is missing.

Switching Away from Toodledo​

Sync your devices, make a backup of your complete copy, and follow Switching Sync Methods. Selecting a different method uses the data already on this device; it does not copy tasks directly from Toodledo's servers.

Setting Up Another Device & Troubleshooting​

Connect the same Toodledo account and use the same list mapping. Next sync action offers Sync normally, Merge local data with server, and Replace data on this device. There is no command to replace the whole Toodledo account with the device's data.

Return from the choice, confirm if asked, and pull down on the task list to sync. After a successful sync, 2Do returns to normal syncing. See replacement choices and partially synced data.

Monthly Repeat Limits​

Toodledo supports named weekday rules such as the last Friday of each month. The month-end, Weekday, and Weekend day choices are hidden while creating a rule for this service. If you import one or switch an existing task to Toodledo, it syncs as an ordinary monthly rule. A month-end interval such as every three months keeps that interval, but loses the month-end condition. See Monthly Repeat Rules.
