Using todo.txt in Obsidian (Or Wherever You Like), Part 2
In part 2 of Using todo.txt in Obsidian (Or Wherever You Like), I cover using the todo.txt format in apps both in and outside of Obsidian. Click here for part 1.
Seven years ago, my alter-ego (OphélieD) left a long, glowing review on the Apple App Store for Michael Descy’s SwiftoDo Desktop app.
SwiftoDo is wonderfully simple, and the sort and filter options are really useful. …SwiftoDo for iOS is every bit as easy to use, and syncing through DropBox has so far been seamless between the two.
This was just a couple of years into my plain text journey, pre-Obsidian. The feature requests I mentioned in the review have since been addressed.
From 2017 to 2022 my plain text task management system gradually gained a bucketload of complexity. But oddly enough, more complexity led to less motivation! It wasn’t until simplifying right down that I was able to consistently focus on the work to be done, rather than the system for organising it.
FYI SwiftoDo was last updated three years ago, not a good sign.
Even if the app has been abandoned, the beauty of the todo.txt format is that it’s open…
