It focuses on interactive task management, Vim-like keybindings, topic-separated todo lists, theming, and Python-based customization. ### Project history The public dooit-org/dooit repository was created in April 2022. Its README presents the project as a customizable TUI todo manager and points users to the project wiki for installation and configuration. The project progressed from early 0.x tags to 1.0 and later 3.x releases. GitHub release metadata shows 3.3.4 published in November 2025, and repository metadata shows continued activity into 2026. ### Adoption history Dooit found a home in the terminal productivity niche: it is distributed through PyPI and appears in Unix package-manager ecosystems such as Homebrew, Alpine, and Nix. Its README also links a Discord community and screenshots of user-customized configurations. ### How it is used Users launch `dooit` to manage todo lists interactively in the terminal. The README highlights keybinding help with `?`, topic-separated lists with branching, and customization through a Python config file and companion Dooit Extras configurations. ### Why package nerds care Dooit is package-nerd interesting as part of the wave of polished terminal productivity applications distributed like developer tools. It is a Python TUI app with themes, extras, package-manager support, and release artifacts rather than a simple script. ### Timeline - 2022: The public GitHub repository is created. - 2022: Early 0.x tags appear in the current repository. - 2025: Release metadata shows the 3.3.x series. - 2026: GitHub metadata shows continued repository activity. ### Related projects - Related projects include Dooit Extras, smassh, other Python terminal UI todo managers, PyPI, and terminal productivity tools using Vim-like interaction patterns. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** dooit - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 1 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - dooit: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/do/dooit/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - apk - dooit - 3.3.3-r1: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: dooit from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | TUI todo manager | https://dooit-org.github.io/dooit/ - apk - dooit-pyc - 3.3.3-r1: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: dooit-pyc from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Precompiled Python bytecode for dooit | https://dooit-org.github.io/dooit/ ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Language runtime packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/language-runtime-packages/) - Matched language runtime, compiler, or interpreter metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [python@3.14](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/python-3-14/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [cmake](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cmake/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [bagels](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bagels/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity, terminal, tui. - [circumflex](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/circumflex/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity, terminal, tui. - [jiratui](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/jiratui/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity, terminal, tui. - [khal](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/khal/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity, python, terminal. - [lf](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/lf/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity, terminal, tui. - [midnight-commander](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/midnight-commander/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity, terminal, tui. - [mprocs](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mprocs/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity, terminal, tui. - [newsboat](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/newsboat/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity, terminal, tui. - [vit](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/vit/) - Both packages touch the same language runtime or ecosystem.
