This does not restrict or limit users — it simply reflects our new business trajectory. You can continue using the product freely. What it means for you: more visibility, earlier access, and the ability to shape Todorix directly with your feedback.

  • Create new items instantly
  • Execute quick actions (“commands”) right from the bar
  A single shortcut — endless power.
