So many power users try dozens of complicated todo list software applications, only to go right back to their trusty todo.txt file. It's simple, straightforward, and readable by every text editor ever made.
But it's not as easy as it should be to open todo.txt, make a change, and save it—especially on your touchscreen device and at the command line. Todo.txt apps solve that problem.
You're not going to find many checkboxes, drop-downs, reminders, or date pickers here.
Todo.txt apps are minimal, todo.txt-focused editors which help you manage your plain text todo list with as few keystrokes and taps possible.
Your todo.txt file isn't useful if it's not always at your fingertips. The Todo.txt mobile apps make it easy to view and update your todo list on the go.
Currently coupled with Dropbox, Todo.txt Touch helps you manage your todo.txt on your touchscreen mobile device and automatically syncs your changes to all your devices.

Countless productivity apps and sites store your tasks in their own proprietary database and file format. But you can open a todo.txt file with every text editor under the sun, regardless of operating system or vendor.
A todo.txt file future-proofs your task list and stores it in a text file YOU control. It isn't dependent on any software or platform to be useful.
The todo.txt format is a simple set of rules that make todo.txt both human and machine-readable. The todo.txt format supports priorities, creation and completion dates, projects and contexts. That's all you need to be productive.
These apps are built and maintained by Todo.txt users just like you. We believe in the power of portable file formats, data ownership, and getting things done in plain text.
