T2DO

A todo list that lives in your terminal.

Why

Most todo apps want to be more than a todo list. They want boards, tags, projects, reminders, a mobile app, a login, a subscription. All you actually need most days is: write the thing down, look at the thing, check it off.

T2DO is a small floating box that pops up in your terminal, holds your tasks, and gets out of the way. No accounts, no sync, no clutter.

Your tasks are just saved to a plain JSON file on your machine. Open it, back it up, edit it by hand if you want.

Install

pip install t2do

Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Run

t2do

Using it

• a — add a task
• Enter — save it
• Esc — cancel typing, or quit the app if you're not typing
• ↑ / ↓ or j / k — move through your list
• Space — check a task off (or uncheck it)
• d — delete the selected task

That's the entire interface. If your list gets long, it scrolls, with a small ^ / v marker so you know there's more above or below.

Where your data lives

• Linux/macOS: ~/.config/t2do/todos.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\t2do\todos.json

Delete that file if you ever want to start over.

Philosophy

If this app ever grows a settings menu, tags, or a sync feature, something went wrong. It's supposed to stay this small.
