Features

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Six things the app does well, and no menu to bury them in.

01

Plain text at heart

Your tasks live in a todo.txt file. Open it anywhere, sync it with any tool, keep it forever.

02

Smart views

Dynamic views from your own rules — overdue, important this week, whatever the week demands.

03

Filters and groups

Slice by priority, context, project or date. Group the result any way you read it best.

04

Contexts and projects

Write @context and +project inline. Both are indexed and browsable in the sidebar.

05

Recurring tasks

Set an interval and the task returns on its own. No copy-paste, no habit quietly forgotten.

06

Dates and scheduling

Due dates with overdue visible at a glance, and an Upcoming view that keeps tomorrow in order.

The format

One line per task.
Readable for good.

Priorities in parentheses. Contexts with @. Projects with +. Dates written out. That is the entire specification.

No proprietary database and no lock-in: any text editor on any device opens the file and shows you the same thing.

Your file is yours either way. If you would rather sync it with Dropbox, iCloud Drive or git, that works and always will — a cloud account is for people who would rather not think about it.

Ready when you are.

The app is free and yours to keep. A cloud account is there when you want the same file everywhere.
