About the passwords and security. The app is not collecting anything. Basically it's just browser with opened. You actually enters all your data directly on Todoist site. Here I have a post about the projects as well - http. Using Todoist on Linux. To use Todoist on Linux, start by launching the official app you’ve just installed. To launch the official Todoist app, search the app menu for “Todoist.” If you can’t find it, try running the todoist command in a terminal, and the app should launch. Once the official Todoist app is open, follow the step-by-step instructions below.

Todoist is available as an AppImage which means 'one app = one file', which you can download and run on your Linux system while you don't need a package manager and nothing gets changed in your system. Awesome!

AppImages are single-file applications that run on most Linux distributions. Download an application, make it executable, and run! No need to install. No system libraries or system preferences are altered.Most AppImages run on recent versions of Arch Linux, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, Red Hat, Ubuntu, and other common desktop distributions.

Running Todoist on Linux without installation

Unlike other applications, AppImages do not need to be installed before they can be used. However, they need to be marked as executable before they can be run. This is a Linux security feature.

Behold! AppImages are usually not verified by others. Follow these instructions only if you trust the developer of the software. Use at your own risk!

Download the Todoist AppImage and make it executable using your file manager or by entering the following commands in a terminal:

Then double-click the AppImage in the file manager to open it.

Sandboxing Todoist

If you want to restrict what Todoist can do on your system, you can run the AppImage in a sandbox like Firejail. This is entirely optional and currently needs to be configured by the user.

Updating Todoist

If you would like to update to a new version, simply download the new Todoist AppImage.

Integrating AppImages into the system

If you would like to have the executable bit set automatically, and would like to see Todoist and other AppImages integrated into the system (menus, icons, file type associations, etc.), then you may want to check the optional appimaged daemon.

Note for application authors

Thanks for distributing Todoist in the AppImage format for all common Linux distributions. Great! Here are some ideas on how to make it even better.

Pro Tips for further enhancing the Todoist AppImage

Please consider to add update information to the Todoist AppImage and ship a .zsync file so that it can be updated using AppImageUpdate. Tools like appimagetool and linuxdeployqt can do this for you easily.

Improve this entry by shipping an AppStream metainfo file inside the AppImage in the usr/share/metainfo directory. We have an online tool that makes it easy to make one.
