Bring your stuff with you
Switching apps is annoying. Pikos imports from the formats most note and task apps already export. Here's what works today.
Markdown vaults
Point Pikos at a folder of .md files. Folder structure is preserved. YAML frontmatter at the top of each file (tags, dates, status) is read and applied. Wikilinks and image attachments come across.
Tested with Obsidian vaults. Should work with any tool that writes plain Markdown.
TickTick CSV
Use TickTick's "Backup data" feature to download a CSV. Pikos auto-detects the format and brings across lists, task titles, descriptions, statuses, priorities, tags, scheduled times, reminders, and recurring rules.
All-day events stay all-day. Multi-day events keep their span. Subtasks reconnect to their parents.
Todoist CSV
Export each Todoist project as CSV from the web app. Task titles, descriptions, priorities, tags, and scheduled dates come across.
Recurring rules don't yet transfer — Todoist stores them as natural language ("every monday") rather than as a structured rule, so each task imports with its next due date only. Recurrence support for Todoist is on the roadmap.
Any other CSV
If your app exports to CSV, Pikos will read it. The first time it sees an unknown format, you map each column to a Pikos field (title, body, date, status, etc.) in a side-by-side preview. The mapping is just for that import — change a column, change the result.
Coming from somewhere else?
Pikos is built by one person. I can't realistically test every export format, but I want imports to work well for the tools people actually use.
If you're moving from a tool not listed here, email a sample export to [email protected] and I'll add first-class support.
Anonymize first. Replace task titles and notes with placeholder text — I only need the column structure and a few representative rows, not your actual data. Dates, priorities, and tags can stay as-is.
