MyTodo.txt
A task list that reads and writes the plain-text todo.txt format, so your tasks stay in a file you own and any todo.txt app can open.
What it does
- Full todo.txt syntax: priorities like
(A),+projects,@contexts, due dates and completion dates. - Urgent tasks: the ! button marks a task urgent. Urgent tasks get a red badge and go to the top of the list.
- Notes with Markdown on any task: checklists, headings, links and more, with a live preview.
- Several lists, each with its own storage: on the device, in a Files folder such as iCloud Drive, or on Nextcloud or WebDAV.
- Scheduled archiving: daily, weekly or monthly, with every archive kept and easy to restore.
- History of everything you’ve done, across all archives, with filters.
- Export what’s on screen as Markdown or a Word document.
- Apple Watch: see your open tasks, tick them off and add new ones by dictation. Lists on Nextcloud or WebDAV sync on the watch by themselves; lists in Files are sent from the iPhone, and changes made on the watch are saved once MyTodo.txt is open there.
- Works offline, and changes merge line by line when your server is back.
- Linked with mdNotes: checklist items in your notes can become tasks, and ticking either one ticks both (Pro for both apps in the App Store apps; free in the web apps).
- On a computer: use it in a browser, use MyTodo.txt for Windows, or share it from your iPhone over Wi-Fi.
Where it runs
| Platform | How to get it |
|---|---|
| iPhone and iPad | The App Store app keeps your list in the Files app, where other apps can open it. Choose a text size in Settings → Appearance. |
| Apple Watch | Comes with the iPhone app (Pro). |
| Mac | The App Store app runs on Macs with Apple silicon. A Pro purchase on your iPhone unlocks it on your Mac too. |
| Windows | MyTodo.txt for Windows from the Microsoft Store connects to your iPhone or iPad over Wi-Fi and shows all its lists. It needs Pro on the iPhone or iPad. |
| Any browser | The web app runs in any browser and can be installed as an app. In Chrome and Edge it can read and write a folder on your computer, OneDrive included. |
| Local only | A version with every network feature taken out: your list stays in your browser or a folder on your device, and it can never connect to anything. |
Price
MyTodo.txt is free, and the web app is free with every feature. In the App Store app, a one-time MyTodo.txt Pro purchase adds:
- Nextcloud and WebDAV lists,
- lists in any folder in the Files app, such as iCloud Drive,
- the Apple Watch app, and MyTodo.txt for Windows.
Pro for both apps adds the same to mdNotes, plus the link between the two apps. No subscription.
