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 - 2019: The GitHub repository is created and early 0.x releases begin. - 2020: Release notes include custom formatting and human-friendly due dates. - 2026: Release notes include agenda updates, Markdown output support, and multiple task lists. ### Related projects - The README identifies todo.txt as the data format lineage. - Distribution-related peers include Cargo, Homebrew, Scoop, AUR, Alpine, and Nix packages. ### Sources - - - - source_facts.package-manager lists Alpine, Homebrew, Nix, and Scoop packages. ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
