Guide to the full functionality of OurTodo links: Let the to-do list become your information center
Imagine this scenario: You are preparing for a family trip, open OurTodo and create a "Travel Preparation" list. You have added tasks such as "book a hotel", "purchase air tickets", and "view attraction guides".
In the past, you had to open the browser separately, search for hotels, compare prices, and then come back to continue the list. Now, you can directly add relevant links to each task - hotel booking page, flight inquiry website, detailed introduction of attractions. All information is concentrated in one place and can be accessed directly with a click.
This is OurTodo's new "Task Link" feature, which makes your to-do list no longer just a text list, but an information-rich action center.
Feature Highlights
📎 Add links to each task
OurTodo now supports adding one or more links to any Todo. Just click the "Add Link" button in the task details, enter the display name and link address, and you can integrate relevant information into the task.
🔗 Support multiple links
You can add multiple links to a task, making it easier for you to integrate information from different sources. For example, in the task of "buying a camera", you can add links to multiple purchase channels such as JD.com, Taobao, and the official website at the same time to quickly compare prices and services.
💡 Flexible display name
Each link has a customized display name. You can set a concise and clear title according to your needs, such as "JD Flagship Store", "Official Product Page", "User Reviews", etc., to make the link clear at a glance.
