Personal Todos: for everything fleeting alongside your tickets
A private todo list per user – with WYSIWYG description, reminders, and optional delegation to team members. Tickets still cover everything else.

Spedy is good for project work in boards. But everyone has scribbled tasks on the side: ask Christian about the contract, follow up on onboarding Wednesday, upload receipts later. Opening a ticket for that is overkill. Sticky notes get lost.
That's why personal todos are now a thing.
What it is
A private todo list per user. Reachable from the sidebar under Todos. Each entry has:
- Title – short, written in one line
- Description (optional) – the same WYSIWYG editor as tickets, so lists, code blocks, mentions, images
- Reminder (optional) – a time when Spedy pings you
- Recipient (optional, Pro) – a team member you're handing the todo to
- Comments (optional) – quick back-and-forth on the task, without opening a ticket
Tick it off with one click on the checkbox in the list. No status, no workflow.
Private means private
By default, no one but you sees your todos. Not even the admin. Not via filters or search.
Only when you explicitly delegate to a team member does a second person come in – creator and recipient see the task, no one else.
Three tabs in the list:
- My todos – what you wrote for yourself
- Delegated – todos you delegated (or that someone delegated to you)
- Done – ticked off
Delegation: Alex writes Christian a todo
The detail drawer has an assignee picker. With Pro active, you pick a colleague there, optionally add a reminder, hit save – done.
On the other side this happens:
- Christian gets a notification (in-app + realtime)
- The todo shows up in his Delegated tab
- He can tick it off – you don't get notified unless you set the reminder for yourself
- Optionally he can add a comment ("done, contract is in the wiki")
Christian can only tick off and comment. He can't change the title or description – that stays with the creator.
Reminder: pings at the right time
Set a time on creation or in the drawer – e.g. "today 3:00 PM" or "tomorrow 9:00 AM". When it's due, Spedy sends:
- an in-app notification with one-click access to the todo
- an email (configurable via your normal notification settings)
If the todo was delegated, the reminder goes to the recipient – it's their task now.
The reminder fires once. To re-arm, just set a new time.
What it's not
Personal todos don't replace tickets. If the task:
- needs multiple collaborators
- has to live in a board / release / sprint
- moves through a status workflow (Backlog → In Progress → Done)
- is billable (time tracking, budgets)
- ties to code, PRs, or the runner
→ then it's a ticket, not a todo. Rule of thumb: anything longer than "do that in 10 minutes" belongs in a board. More on the Tickets page and Boards.
Plan gating
| Free / Trial | Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Write your own todos | ✓ | ✓ |
| WYSIWYG description + comments | ✓ | ✓ |
| Set reminders | ✓ | ✓ |
| Delegate to team members | – | ✓ |
Your own todos are free for everyone. Delegating to colleagues is part of Pro. Without Pro, picking a colleague in the assignee picker shows an upgrade hint – no hidden limit.
How to start
- Open Todos in the sidebar
- Type a task in the quick-add field and press Enter
- Click the entry to set description, reminder, and (optionally) a recipient
- Tick the circle on the left when you're done

That's it. Exactly the way it should be.
