How do I import my tasks from Todoist, Google Tasks, TickTick or Notion?

Open Settings, Data section, tap “Import from Todoist, TickTick, Notion, Google Tasks or Google Keep”, then choose the exported file. Lumina shows the number of tasks found before importing.

From Todoist, one CSV file per project:

1. In Todoist, open a project, ··· menu, then “Export as a template” in CSV format.
2. In Lumina, choose that file.
3. Repeat for each project.

What comes across: unfinished tasks, their priority, due date, description and subtasks. A recurring date stays as text in the task’s note, and you recreate the repeat by hand. Sub-subtasks move up to the subtask level. Projects, sections, comments and completed tasks don’t come across.

From Google Tasks:

1. On takeout.google.com, export “Tasks”.
2. Unzip the archive you receive.
3. In Lumina, choose the Tasks.json file.

What comes across: unfinished tasks from all your lists, their note, due date and subtasks. The lists themselves aren’t recreated.

From TickTick:

1. On ticktick.com, click your avatar, then Settings › Account › Backup & Import, and generate a backup.
2. In Lumina, choose the downloaded CSV file.

What comes across: unfinished tasks, their due date and time, priority, description and subtasks. The unchecked items of a checklist become subtasks, and TickTick notes become Lumina notes. A task’s list, tags and repeat rule stay as text in its note. Completed and archived tasks and habits don’t come across.

From Notion:

1. In Notion, open the ··· menu of the page, then Export, in Markdown & CSV format.
2. Unzip the archive you receive.
3. In Lumina, select the .md files of your pages and the CSV files of your to-do databases.

What comes across: each page becomes a note, titled with its heading, with its Markdown text. Each unfinished row of a database becomes a task: the title comes from the first column, the due date from a column named Date, Due or Deadline, the priority from a Priority column. Rows marked done (Status column or Done checkbox) are skipped, and the other properties don’t come across.

Importing the same file twice on the same device adds no duplicates. In the free version, the import stops at 10 tasks per day: after switching to Student or Pro, import the file again and only the missing tasks are added. The comparison with Todoist also says when to keep Todoist.
