TodoTxtMac

TodoTxtMac is a Mac‑only to‑do manager that works directly with a plain‑text todo.txt file and follows the official todo.txt format specification. It lets users create, edit, and organize tasks using only the keyboard, with single‑key shortcuts for common actions such as toggling completion, setting priority, and adding due or threshold dates. The interface supports multiple selection, automatic line‑ending preservation for cross‑platform files, and can archive completed items to a separate done.txt file.

The application is designed for users who prefer a minimalist, fast workflow and want tight integration with other todo.txt tools on macOS. It includes features like due date handling (due:YYYY‑MM‑DD), recurring task tags, hidden tags, and on‑screen metadata showing task counts. Updates are checked automatically, and the program can import tasks from the clipboard.

A commercial variant, SwiftoDo Desktop, offers sandboxing and code signing for Gatekeeper compatibility, while the free GitHub release provides the same core functionality without those macOS security enhancements.
