Todo.txt is one of the most basic todo lists that can be found. It is much like a text editor, except it syncs across devices.
SpecsUpdate
Pros
Pro Can be edited with any text editor
Because todo.txt files are basically plaintext files, you can update it from any device as long as it can edit text and you can access your todo.txt file
Pro Full control over your to-dos
You have full access to the underlying programming rules, and therefore total control over your task lists.
Pro Command line support
You can edit your lists using the command line (e.g., Terminal) via a supplied bash script.
Pro Cross-platform
Todo.txt lists are stored in plaintext files and can be edited in virtually every text editor ever made and can be synced across different devices using Dropbox or similar services. The user community has also created a number of apps for dozens of platforms.
Cons
Con No support for recurring tasks
Tasks have dates corresponding to creation and completion, but there is no explicit support for due dates or for tasks that reoccur.
Con Nested tasks not supported
Many todo tasks end up having sub tasks that need to be performed for a parent task to be completed, but the todo.txt format does not have any nesting.
Con Android app not updated since 2013
The app only seems to support Dropbox. It would be nice to see support for different and newer file storage services.
