todo.txt VS todo.txt-cli

It would be awesome to have an option to sync to/from a text file in the todo.txt format. This is a plain text format for tasks which can be read by different apps on different platforms.

For this project: Make a todo.txt file in the root. Don't go overboard, just note the tasks as you realize them as "(B) Add Audio System". Break them down into components when you realize tasks will take more than one sit-down, "(A) Put AudioDefs into an array \n (B) Load each of the filedata into a stack". Personally, I use (A) for "This is on the schedule", (B) "Do this today", etc.

Another way is to use the todo.txt approach and add context tags like "@work" to the text of the task, and then filter the big Tasks list by searching for that context tag.

todo.txt on linux (format definition, tool -- available in most package repos also I think, though the name is not always the same!)

Actually, it's org-mode. But for the rest of us non-Emacs users, there's todo.txt:

Otherwise, maybe go old school and use a todo.txt type workflow?

FSNotes for macOS and iOS is one I used for a little while.

todo.txt is another thing that comes to mind.

And of course pretty much all of *nix.

Since at least 2012 I've also been using a text file format from http://todotxt.org/ and more recently I wrote a program that takes a crontab-like list to pre-generate entries on a daily, by-day-name (every Sunday for example), and I also pull in a list of holidays from gov.uk, so they are also populated.

It's a web app implementing the todo.txt format (see http://todotxt.org/). It's an exercise to learn frontend currently, I doubt I could successfully monetize it. Would appreciate any feedback!

That format is really similar to todo.txt format, worth taking a look at http://todotxt.org/ (which in turn has application links).

For todo and schedule I use todo.txt (http://todotxt.org/) a plain file managed by scripts which build agenda and plumber to keep track of unique keys.

The ToDo.Txt format makes it easy to use across devices/software, but this is really limited to ToDos.

Here’s the todo.sh features for those interested. There are several addons for it as well: https://github.com/todotxt/todo.txt-cli

Good idea, something similar to todotxt.org. But no 1) iPhone app 2) you need to sigh up and keep your notes at developers servers 3) subscriptions?! come on!

There are a couple different routes you can go down. If your goal is to learn CLI stuff, it's hard to beat using shell-scripting for a simple app like a todo manager. Storing them in a plain-text file, a little sed/grep/awk and you're well on your way. For inspiration & hints, you might check out https://todotxt.org However, you can rapidly hit performance issues and limitations on available tooling if you stick to just POSIX tools.
