Move your tasks to Irkless
Most moves take an evening: paste your lists in and sort them when you have a minute. Keep your old app until you're sure.
How pasting works
- Get your tasks out of your old app as text, one task per line. From a CSV export, open it in a spreadsheet and copy the column of task names.
- In Irkless, open a project or the Inbox and paste. Each line becomes a task, and a line indented under another becomes its subtask.
- Lines written as
- [ ]checklist items come across too; ticked ones are skipped.
From your current app
