Quick Capture for 2Do

Catch a task or plan in Capture before sending it to 2Do. Add a 2Do task, project, or checklist from a Capture, with list, parent, tags, priority, repeat, and the capture’s date as due date.

To send a capture to 2Do, open Capture Settings, choose Export, and add 2Do as a destination. Install 2Do on the device where you use Capture. Optionally enter a list, and a parent project or checklist inside that list. Text and phone captures become the task title. Links use the fetched page title as the task title and put the URL in the note, or use the URL as the title when no title is cached. 2Do is offered as a destination for Text and Links captures.

  2. Capture hands off only the supported types listed above. Complete any confirmation or compose screen shown by 2Do.

Limits and troubleshooting

Limits

  • Images and files are unsupported.
  • Parent requires List; Capture will not save the destination otherwise.
  • Repeat has no effect on captures without a date.
  • Capture does not check that the list, parent, tags, or locations exist in 2Do.

Troubleshooting

  • If Capture reports “Parent requires a list”, enter the list that contains the parent project or checklist.
  • If an unwanted default due date appears, turn on Ignore defaults.
  • If Capture shows “Couldn’t open 2Do”, install 2Do on this device.
