Lack of start date or defer date functionality
Users are requesting a 'start date' or 'defer date' feature to hide tasks until a specific time. Currently, tasks without a due date are always visible, and there is no native way to schedule a task to appear only when it becomes relevant.

the lack of this feature was exactly the reason I refused to use Todoist
That’s the idea behind “Start date” or “Defer date” as it called in some apps. Todoist is lacking this function.
