Todo makes grocery shopping a breeze. Well not the actual shopping part, we can’t help that, but the planning-and-making-sure-you-don’t-forget-a-thing part. Let’s take a look at one feature that will change the way you shop.
What is Intelligent Task Parsing?
Todo has built-in Intelligent Task Parsing. That’s a fancy way of saying that you can do everything from set a start or due date, assign a priority to a task and even create a checklist just by how type in the task. And it doesn’t require additional gestures (swipes, clicks, etc.). Here are a few examples of how Task Parsing works:
- If you type “Buy Milk (Tomorrow)” a task to “Buy Milk” will automagically be created with a due date for tomorrow. This also works if you type “Buy Milk (Wednesday).
- If you type “Pay Electricity Bill !!!” a task to “Pay Electricity Bill” will be created with high priority.
- If you’re big into using tags in Todo type “Buy Milk #groceries #budget” to apply the “Groceries” and “Budget” tags. That’s just #awesome.
Create a Shopping List
Let’s look at a practical way to use Intelligent Task Parsing. By typing “Groceries:” followed by a list of items separated by a comma, you create a checklist. For example if you type, “Groceries: eggs, milk, yogurt” Todo will create a checklist titled Groceries with separate items for eggs, milk, and yogurt.

If you need to have them by Friday type in “Groceries: eggs, milk, yogurt (Friday)” and you’re set.
Happy shopping!
