If you're still having trouble with Todoist on the Apple Watch, get in touch with us.

No, unfortunately not. Currently, our watchOS app requires that the Apple Watch is in range of the iPhone in order to be able to update information and create/complete tasks.

If mobile notifications are turned on in the Reminders settings, and the iPhone is locked or asleep, you'll get notifications on the Apple Watch.

You won't receive notifications on both devices if the Apple Watch is locked with a passcode.
