About:
Pter is a lightweight, terminal-based user interface (TUI) for managing todo.txt files. It provides a visual, interactive way to add, edit, complete, and filter tasks without leaving the command line. The tool maintains the simplicity and plain-text format of the todo.txt standard while offering a more efficient workflow than manual text editing.
Key Features:
  • Interactive terminal UI for easy task management
  • Full support for the standard todo.txt format
  • Keyboard-driven navigation and shortcuts
  • Filtering and searching capabilities
  • Low resource footprint
Use Cases:
  • Managing personal task lists directly from the terminal
  • Quickly capturing and organizing ideas or action items
  • Maintaining a distraction-free productivity workflow
Alternatives:
  • vit – VIT is another powerful TUI for todo.txt, often with more complex configuration options.
  • todo.txt-cli – The official command-line interface, which is scriptable but lacks a visual interface.
