You kept going back to atxt file, so I made it faster. Tasks.txt is a free native macOS app for people who run tasks in atxt file. Plain text todo.txt format, keyboard shortcuts for everything. No cloud, no account.

For me its always been scratching down a todo list in TextEdit. This is a great little app for having that experience of ticking a box and seeing the task disappear.
The only things i'm currently missing for it to be perfect are: - Ability to copy paste completed tasks back out of the app (for reporting purposes). - It would also be good to be able to nest sub-tasks beneath other larger epics.
Looks wonderful. I am about to explore the features. Just a quick thought - while launching the app, it is better to keep the keyboard focus on the text input, so that I can just open it and type it.

Finally a todo app that doesn't try to be a project manager. The keyboard shortcuts feel right and it loads instantly since it's just reading a text file.

@tuncay2tva thank you! That’s exactly what I was aiming for. In my opininio the best productivity tools are the ones that feel completely invisible and let you save your brainpower for the actual work.

The decision to skip the cloud entirely and keep everything in plain text is genuinely thoughtful. Appreciate the respect for how some of us actually like to work.

Thanks for the feedback@demirleng78497 ! I am a big fan of lean and powerful instruments and my philosophy for that kind of approach comes long way back when i started programming: redis, git, rsync - these are the tools i always loved. they do their thing and they do it perfectly.
