Todowing injects the indented rows

Todoist flattens. Todowing restores.

Your hierarchy already exists; Todoist doesn't show it in date<br>and filter views. Same account, same tasks.

Every upgrade, one extension

Todowing started with nested sub-tasks. Fonts and text size<br>came next, and the list keeps growing.

YOUR SUB-TASKS, BACK

Inline, four levels deep

Sub-tasks appear inline under their parent in Today, Upcoming, Filter and Label views, nesting intact.

Complete without leaving

Check off or reopen any sub-task right in the list, without opening the task.

Collapse that survives

Fold a parent once and it stays folded, even through Todoist's constant view rebuilds.

Progress you can see

Todowing merges completed sub-tasks back from the archive (30-day window), so checklists show what's done.

Recurring starts fresh

When a recurring task recurs, Todowing reopens its completed sub-tasks, so each cycle starts with a fresh checklist.

BEYOND SUB-TASKS

Aa<br>Pick your font

Restyle the whole Todoist app with one of 50 Google Fonts. Part of the unlock.

AA<br>Text size, your call

Scale Todoist's text from 85% to 200% in steps of 5, whichever suits your eyes. Free for everyone.

Licensing that fails open

If the license server is unreachable, you stay unlocked. Only an explicit revocation locks a paid key; a network hiccup can't.

More on the way

Todowing is a growing set of upgrades. The next one lands in this same extension, and if it's paid, your unlock already covers it.

Pay once. Use it forever.

From the maker

I use Todoist every day, and the Today view kept showing me a fraction of what I'd planned. My checklists were there, hidden. So I wrote a userscript that put them back, for myself at first. Todowing is that tool, rebuilt as a proper extension. It still runs on my own Today view every day.

Questions, answered

Is this a subscription?+<br>No. You pay $9.99 once and get a license key that unlocks the extension forever. There is nothing to renew or cancel.

What does the free tier include?+<br>Every nesting feature (inline nesting, completing, collapsing, recurring resets) plus the text-size slider, limited to 5 sub-task rows per top-level task. The unlock removes the limit and opens the font picker.

Do future upgrades cost extra?+<br>No. New upgrades land in this same extension, and the unlock you already bought covers every paid one.

Which views does it work in?+<br>Today, Upcoming, and any Filter or Label view: the places Todoist renders tasks flat. Project views show nesting on their own, so Todowing leaves them alone.

What if your license server goes down?+<br>You stay unlocked. Validation fails open: only an explicit "revoked" answer from the server locks a key. An outage or an offline day changes nothing.

Do I need Todoist Pro?+<br>No. Todowing works with any Todoist plan in the Todoist web app on Chrome.

Private by design.

The extension stores your Todoist API token in your browser and sends it only to the official Todoist API.

Your tasks never touch our servers. The extension talks straight to Todoist.

No analytics or tracking inside the extension. Read the privacy policy.
