Import from CSV

You need to create a table that can contain up to eight columns. The most important one is Name. If you fill in only this column, each row will be imported as a separate task. If you fill in the other columns as well, you can recreate in SingularityApp a complex structure of projects, sections, and tasks with dates, priorities, and descriptions.

Column Descriptions

• Id
  • Purpose: defines the hierarchy (nesting level) for your projects and tasks.
  • How to fill in: use numbering like 1, 1.1, 1.1.1. For example:
    • 1 — top-level project
    • 1.1 — nested project, section, or task inside project 1
    • 1.1.1 — task nested inside task 1.1
  • Nesting rules: a project can contain other projects, sections, and tasks. A section can only contain tasks. A task can only contain other tasks (subtasks).
  • If left empty: all rows will be imported as a flat list.
• Type
  • Purpose: defines whether the row is a project, section, or task.
  • How to fill in: use one of the following values:
    • project — for a project
    • section — for a section
    • task — for a task
  • If left empty: all rows will be imported as tasks.
• Name (Required Column)
  • Purpose: this is the name of your project, section, or task.
• Description
  • Purpose: allows you to add a detailed description or notes for a project or task (sections don’t have descriptions). Links are supported.
• Priority
  • Purpose: sets the task priority.
  • How to fill in:
    • 0 — pin the task at the top (highest priority)
    • 1 — high priority (task name appears in bold)
    • 3 — low priority (task name appears dimmed)
• Status
  • Purpose: allows you to import tasks with a specific status.
  • How to fill in:
  • x — canceled task
  • — — completed task
  • . — task in progress (it will appear in „Today“ every day until completed)
• Date
  • Purpose: sets the start date for the task.
  • How to fill in: use the format YYYY-MM-DD. You can also specify the time, for example: 2025-12-31 18:30.
• Deadline
  • Purpose: sets the due date (deadline) for the task.
  • How to fill in: use the format YYYY-MM-DD.

Example File and Saving

You can download an example file to better understand the structure: SingularityApp-CSV-example.csv

When saving the file, make sure that:

1. File format is CSV.
2. Encoding is UTF-8.
3. Column separators are commas.

If you’re using Google Sheets, simply select File → Download → Comma-separated values (CSV). The file will automatically be saved in the correct format.

1. In the top system menu of SingularityApp, select File → Import → Import from CSV.
2. Select your prepared CSV file in the dialog window that opens.
3. Wait for the import process to complete.
