About:
TodoTxtMac is a native macOS GUI client for the minimalist todo.txt format, which stores tasks in a simple plain text file. It provides a clean, keyboard-driven interface that allows for rapid task management without the overhead of complex databases or cloud services. This tool syncs seamlessly with cloud storage services like Dropbox, ensuring your tasks are accessible across devices while maintaining data portability.
Key Features:
  • Keyboard-driven interface for rapid task entry and management
  • Native macOS integration with support for system-wide hotkeys
  • Syncs with plain text todo.txt files for maximum data portability
  • Supports due dates, priorities, projects, and contexts
  • Clean, minimalist UI that stays out of your way
Use Cases:
  • GTD (Getting Things Done) practitioners who value simplicity and data ownership
  • Developers and technical users who prefer plain text workflows
  • Users who need offline-first task management with cloud sync capabilities
Alternatives:
  • TaskPaper – More feature-rich with richer formatting, but less focused on the pure todo.txt standard
  • Things – Commercial app with polished UI, but requires proprietary sync and lacks plain text export
  • Todoist – Cloud-based with collaboration features, but requires subscription and online access
