Importing your data to Any.do is a breeze, allowing you to bring tasks, notes, and other information into the app from various channels. Whether youโre moving items to your personal lists or integrating data into Family or Workspace boards, Any.do offers flexible options to make the process smooth and efficient:
For Personal Lists - Imports are available to all users (Free, Premium, Family, Workspace) through our Copy-Paste feature. Quickly add single items or bulk tasks by simply pasting them into a designated list.
For Boards - Available to Family and Workspace users, this option includes the same Copy-Paste functionality as well as advanced imports from services like Trello, Asana, ClickUp, Monday, and Todoist. Workspace users can also import tasks directly from spreadsheets for fast, large-scale board setup. These imported items will appear as separate boards in your Family or Workspace.
