What happens if a project has more than 300 tasks?

Todoist has a 300-task limit per project. This skill automatically detects this limit and creates sub-projects to ensure all your tasks are migrated without loss.

Are tags and deadlines preserved during migration?

Yes, Things tags are mapped to Todoist labels, and deadlines/scheduling (Today, Evening, Someday) are mapped to Todoist due dates and priorities.

Does this skill require Things 3 to be installed?

Yes, the skill reads directly from the Things 3 SQLite database on your Mac, so Things 3 must be installed and have your data locally available.

How does the skill handle duplicate tasks?

It uses fuzzy matching algorithms to compare titles. If a similar task is found in Todoist, the skill presents an interactive menu allowing you to skip, update, or create a new entry.
