How to manage your Todoist tasks on your watch using Hopper

Todoist is one of the most popular task management apps, and with Hopper AI on your Wear OS watch, you can manage your tasks directly from your wrist using voice commands — no phone needed.

Overview

The Todoist integration connects Hopper to your Todoist account through the official Todoist MCP server. Once connected, you can:

Create tasks with due dates, labels, projects, and priorities
View tasks filtered by date, project, or priority
Complete tasks by name from your wrist
Manage projects and organize your workflow

All of this works through simple voice commands on your watch.

Setup

Connecting Todoist to Hopper takes about a minute.

Open the Hopper companion app on your phone.
Tap the Tools icon in the bottom navigation bar.
Tap Add MCP Server in the top right.
Enter the Todoist MCP server URL:

https://ai.todoist.net/mcp

Tap Connect. You'll be redirected to Todoist's login page.
Sign in to your Todoist account and approve the permissions.
Once authorized, you'll be taken back to the Hopper app. The Todoist MCP server is now connected.

That's it — Hopper can now read, create, and update your Todoist tasks and projects.

For more details on the Todoist MCP server, see the official Todoist MCP documentation.

Use Cases

Create a Task

Add tasks with natural language. You can include due dates, labels, projects, and priorities — all in one command.

Try saying	What Hopper does
"Add buy groceries tomorrow"	Creates a task due tomorrow
"Add finish report by Friday to my Work project"	Creates a task in your Work project due Friday
"Add call dentist tomorrow priority 1"	Creates a high-priority task due tomorrow
"Add weekly review every Monday with label planning"	Creates a recurring task with a label

View Your Tasks

Check what's on your plate — filtered by date, project, label, or priority.

Try saying	What you'll see
"What's due today?"	Today's tasks across all projects
"What tasks are due this week?"	This week's upcoming tasks
"Show my tasks in the Work project"	All tasks in a specific project
"What tasks have the urgent label?"	Tasks filtered by label
"What are my high priority tasks?"	Priority 1 tasks

Complete a Task

Mark tasks done as you finish them — just say the task name.

Try saying	What Hopper does
"Mark buy groceries as complete"	Finds and closes the task
"I finished the weekly report, mark it done"	Closes the matching task
"Complete the dentist appointment task"	Closes the matching task

Manage Projects

Create and browse projects to keep your tasks organized.

Try saying	What Hopper does
"Create a new project called Vacation Planning"	Creates a new Todoist project
"What projects do I have?"	Lists all your projects
"Move buy sunscreen to the Vacation Planning project"	Moves a task between projects

Tips

Be specific with task names — Hopper matches your words against task titles, so saying the exact name helps it find the right task.
Use natural dates — phrases like "tomorrow", "next Monday", or "in 3 days" all work when creating tasks.
Combine details in one command — instead of creating a task and then editing it, include the project, label, and priority upfront: "Add deploy release to Work project priority 1 with label sprint".
