Import from Todoist or Things

Open Settings › Your data › Import (on iPad and Mac, File › Import… or ⌘⇧I), then choose the app you’re coming from.

Todoist

1. In Todoist, open Settings › Backups, on the web or in the desktop app, and download a backup. It’s a ZIP.
2. In Billine, choose Todoist backup and pick the ZIP exactly as Todoist downloaded it (or the CSV files inside it).
3. Check the preview, and tap Import.

Each Todoist project comes in as a project. Due dates are read in the language they were typed in; anything Billine can’t read is kept in the task’s notes as “Due in Todoist: …”. Todoist leaves completed tasks out of its backups, so they don’t come along.

Things on a Mac

1. In Billine, choose Things.
2. In the Open panel, press ⇧⌘G and go to ~/Library/Group Containers/JLMPQHK86H.com.culturedcode.ThingsMac.
3. Inside ThingsData, choose Things Database.thingsdatabase.

Things on iPhone or iPad

1. In Things, open Settings › General › Diagnostics › Enter Code, type 491348, and send the database to Files.
2. In Billine, choose Things and pick Things Database.aar.

A repeating task from Things comes in once, with a note asking you to set how it repeats again in Billine.

Safe to try

Importing only adds: what’s already in Billine stays as it is, and importing the same file twice adds nothing the second time. Undo Import in the message at the bottom, or ⌘Z, removes exactly what was added.
