• Auto-discovery - Find other instances on your network via mDNS/Zeroconf
• Dark/light themes - System-following or manual theme selection
• Cross-platform - Linux, macOS, and Windows support

Requirements

• Python 3.11 or later

Configuration

Configuration is stored in XDG-compliant locations:

Platform	Config	Data
Linux	~/.config/pytodo-qt/	~/.local/share/pytodo-qt/
macOS	~/Library/Application Support/pytodo-qt/	same
Windows	%APPDATA%\pytodo-qt\	same

config.toml

[database]
active_list = ""
sort_key = "priority"
reverse_sort = false

[server]
enabled = true
address = "0.0.0.0"
port = 5364
allow_pull = true
allow_push = true

[discovery]
enabled = true
service_name = ""  # defaults to pytodo-{hostname}

[appearance]
theme = "system"  # light, dark, system

Synchronization

pytodo-qt uses a secure peer-to-peer protocol for syncing between instances:

1. Discovery - Instances advertise themselves via mDNS (_pytodo._tcp.local.)
2. Key exchange - Ed25519 identity keys with X25519 ephemeral session keys
3. Encryption - All data encrypted with AES-256-GCM
4. Merge - Last-write-wins conflict resolution with UUID-based items

Identity keys are stored in your system keyring (GNOME Keyring, macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Locker).
