About:
TodoTxt is a minimalist command-line editor designed specifically for managing todo.txt format files. It provides a streamlined interface for adding, editing, and organizing tasks without the overhead of complex task management systems. The tool focuses on speed and simplicity, adhering to the todo.txt philosophy of plain text task management.
Key Features:
  • Minimalist command-line interface
  • Native support for todo.txt syntax
  • Fast task manipulation and filtering
  • No database or complex setup required
Use Cases:
  • Managing personal tasks and to-do lists from the terminal
  • Quick capture and organization of action items for developers
  • Maintaining a distraction-free task management workflow
Alternatives:
  • taskwarrior – More feature-rich with complex task attributes, but heavier than todo-txt
  • vim-todo – Vim plugin approach requiring editor context, vs standalone CLI tool
