todo is a compact command-line application for managing a list of tasks. It concentrates on basic operations rather than offering the extensive project management and scheduling functionality found in larger task managers.
The program is designed to be used through short commands. Users can add tasks, display the current list, change task descriptions and mark completed activities. Tasks can also be removed individually or cleared from the list.
Its straightforward approach makes todo suitable for people who want a minimal personal task list that is quick to access from a terminal. The application is also small enough to be useful as an example of a task manager that avoids unnecessary complexity.
In addition to interactive command-line use, todo provides output suitable for processing with scripts and other command-line utilities.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Add one or more tasks to a to-do list.
