history
Project history and usage
ttdl is a Rust command-line todo-list manager built around the todo.txt format.
Project history
The upstream GitHub repository was created in January 2019. The README describes ttdl as a CLI tool for managing todo lists in todo.txt format, with installation through Cargo, prebuilt releases, Scoop, Homebrew, and AUR.
The project has continued as a terminal productivity utility rather than a service-backed task manager. Its Cargo metadata classifies it under command-line utilities and uses keywords such as `todotxt`, `terminal`, `cli`, `todo`, and `tasks`.
Adoption history
ttdl's adoption path is typical for modern Rust CLI tools: first Cargo and GitHub releases, then package-manager formulas for users who prefer system package workflows. The README documents Homebrew, Scoop, and AUR installation, while the supplied package facts add Alpine and Nix.
GitHub releases show a long release train from 2019 through 2026, including later additions such as agenda view, Markdown output, and multiple task lists.
How it is used
ttdl stores todos in plain todo.txt-style files, supports filtering, grouping, archive handling, tags, hashtags, time tracking, statistics, agenda/calendar views, human-readable dates, custom columns, and multiple task lists.
Its configuration is optional and file-based. The README states that the standalone binary does not create files automatically, checks for `ttdl.toml`, and can initialize default config files with command-line flags.
Why package nerds care
ttdl matters in the package-nerd niche as a small, self-contained Rust productivity CLI with no server dependency and plain-text data. It fits the terminal-user preference for scripts, dotfiles, and portable todo lists.
Its value is not broad historical influence; it is a maintained example of the todo.txt lineage surviving inside modern Rust and package-manager ecosystems.
Timeline
