Compatibility

Since I maintain this project in my spare time I don't intend to support versions other than one I currently use. I am usually running current Ubuntu LTS and GNOME version that is shipping with it. Thanks to @aadilayub codebase was adapted to run on GNOME 40/41/42 (reported by @luk400), but there is no guarantees. Still feel free to report any quirks in the issues.

Setup

Clone the repository to ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ into a folder named todoist@tarelda.github.com using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/tarelda/todoist-indicator.git todoist@tarelda.github.com

The name of the directory is important because Gnome Shell won't recognize the extension otherwise.

Then restart Gnome Shell (ALT-F2 and then 'r') and navigate to https://extensions.gnome.org/local/. You can enable the extension and specify your Todoist API token there.

By default extension syncs every 60 seconds. That means it could take up to one minute before the task count appears after setting the API token in the settings.

Past Due tasks are sorted by project id, while Today view shows them in todoist assigned order.
