What is Todotxt.net?
todotxt.net is an open source, text-based task management system for command-line users. It uses a plain text file synced between devices to store a hierarchical set of to-do lists and notes. The philosophy behind todotxt is simplicity and speed.
With todotxt, you create todo.txt files wherever you need them - on your computer, external drives, or cloud accounts. You edit tasks directly in the text file or use one of the many supported apps and extensions. These range from command line tools to desktop and mobile apps. Each one lets you quickly add, edit, complete and organize tasks. There is basic support for setting priorities, categories and projects.
As the tasks are stored in a text file, todo.txt is lightweight and fast. You can edit the file in any text editor when needed. The formatted text also makes your tasks readable, portable and future proof. For users who prefer keyboard use and text editors over heavy GUI apps, it provides a frictionless way of tracking tasks.
However, the lack of more advanced features like reminders, analytics or collaboration may be limitations. The command line use also has a learning curve. Overall, todotxt focuses on being a no-frills, rapid personal task manager for text-oriented workflows.
