Todo Emojis

Checkbox emojis for todo lists in Slack

Overview

Todo Emojis are checkbox-style emojis you can use to create to-do lists:

I created them for use in the Ramen Club (opens new window) Slack channel; an Indie Hackers (opens new window) network based in London:

They’re useful to help keep folks accountable in communities, start-ups, stand-ups, catch-ups – in fact any kind of “-ups” !

Using the emojis

Once installed (opens new window), just start typing :todo then choose the emoji from the list:

Then, add the text of the todo (and any other todo’s, of course):

todo

You can use the todo_doing emoji to indicate you’ve started a task:

todo

When you’ve completed your task, edit the message and change the emoji to todo_done:

todo

If you want to let folks know you can’t complete a task, use the todo_pause or todo_cancel emoji:

todo

It’s the simplest way to share updates in Slack!
