Doist Developers

All things development from the @doist team, working on @todoist and @twistwork.

You asked, and it’s finally here: Todoist’s Claude connector is live! ✨

Less tab-switching, copy-pasting your tasks between Todoist and @claudeai, and losing your train of thought, more actually getting things done.

Your team (and your 47 open tabs) will thank you.

Who would've thought @playdate needed a @todoist client? @MichaelMofina did, and it's BRILLIANT.

Crank to complete is *peak* UX.

I wrote something! On “Harness Engineering.”

Unless the next generation of models cleans up all the slop from previous versions (and our own from before), I suspect creating and nurturing harnesses and guardrails will become a major lever for engineering teams of all sizes.

Behind the scenes of optimizing Todoist's iOS app 🔍
We migrated our storage layer to GRDB. Some users reported sluggish performance. After weeks of debugging, we found the culprit — and achieved 90-99% faster queries.

This was a fun side project to work on before ending 2025, and I’m really happy with the final result. Looking forward to reading your feedback!

UI tests that are 99% reliable, 4× faster, and 50% cheaper...

Sounds too good to be true 👀?

I've jotted down some insights on Bitmapist, our open-source cohort analytics tool that's already saved us millions and guides many decisions across nearly every Doist team.

Not many people know about it, but you should check it out! We also open-sourced bitmapist-server, which achieved a 443x reduction in memory usage compared to the standard Redis server.
