Hi Gary,
Thanks for trying Toodledo and for sharing this feedback — it’s really helpful. You’re right that the current Context field is a fixed concept in Toodledo’s GTD-inspired structure, traditionally used for things like locations, tools, or people. The field name can feel limiting when your workflow naturally separates those categories. A couple of workarounds that might help in the meantime: 1. Use Tags — Tags are completely freeform and can carry any label you like (e.g., @person:Gary, @org:Acme, @tool:Zoom). They’re filterable and searchable, so you can effectively create your own custom context types. 2. Use multiple Contexts creatively — You can create Contexts with prefixes like Person: John, Org: Acme Corp, Tool: Slack to keep them organized in the dropdown. 3. Custom Fields (on higher plans) — Toodledo supports custom fields where you can define a dedicated “Person” or “Organization” field that fits your workflow precisely. That said, we’ve noted your feedback. The idea of having named, typed context categories (People, Places, Tools) is something worth exploring as we develop the platform. What kind of work are you managing in Toodledo? Understanding your use case better helps us prioritize the right improvements. Warm regards, Hasi — Toodledo Team |

Thanks Hasi for your detailed reply - much appreciated
You say context is for "locations, tools, or people" and I agree. Because it is also essential to identify the conditions for the task I need extras. In my case working outdoors weather is important. Two questions: 1. Please, which of your higher plans adds extra fields/columns to the main view in the web app? 2. One more question Pocket informant allows an "event" to be identified. GTD suggests this allows a day in the calendar to be identified as special because it "flavours" the entire day guiding how you approach it. For example, the birthday of a significant other. Are you planning to add this functionality? Warm regards/gary |
