I am looking for a really fast, no-friction way to add tasks with more info than just the title. Email and Twitter, which allow for a fuller syntax, are too slow. Ideally I'd like something that with a keystroke I pop up a window or open Launchbar or Alfred or similar, enter my task, hit return, and I'm done.
I guess this will have to piggyback on twitter or email unless someone has written a script that can use the API in a fuller way than I understand the toodledo Ruby gem can. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to do this? Also, TO TOODLE ADMINS: I don't know what you backend system looks like, but I don't understand why we *still* can't use the full syntax for adding tasks in the quick add bar! Note: ToodleAir, if it can use the full syntax, doesn't run on my machine anyway,though something along those lines would be great. I am on a Mac. |

Try toodledo slim with a task launcher like Clickit or

Odd, I still run ToodleAir on my mac and it works well. I'd love to see a good Alfred Integration though.

Strange. I wonder why ToodleAir hates me... are you running 10.7?
I am using LaunchBar and a script that uses Perl command-line twitter app to route to twitter using DMs to ToodleDo, but it is a fragile chain and definitely not very portable. Maybe I 'll try to see what is going on with ToodleAir on my machine |

Yeah, I'm all current on OS. Maybe an Air thing?
I have had it lose connection a couple of times so it would stop adding tasks but resetting it worked. Does it even load or just not add the tasks? |

This Alfred extension sounds like it does what you want. I'm not sure whether you're saying that you want something that the Ruby gem can't do, or that you don't have the option of installing the Ruby gem.

The problem with the Ruby gem is that it is limited to standard syntax. Through email or Twitter I can use an entry like:
drink beer #tomorrow *folderx !! to get a task with a due date of tomorrow, set to the folderx, with a priority of 2 I use to have a script that did this via Twitter, but it stopped working when they changed authentication and I've never been able to get it working again. So, for now, my quickest route is to open twitter and do a direct message to toodledo with the task. Not super-efficient. |

There is an Alfred Extension that can send DMs to Twitter which would seem to let you use all the syntax. I have used the extension and it works well although I haven't tried pushing to Twitter yet.
