Came back to this tool after 2 years wandering in an obsidian, things, and a few other tools haze. Looking at my files I realized this was the only tool (along with the original todo.txt) which I was able to use effectively over multiple years. 
Mr. Descy solved cross platform syncing solutions back in 2018 and 2019 that other todo.txt implementations are just realizing they need. 

This is still as close to perfect an app as I’ve come across and I hope Mr. Descy will keep revisiting it every few years to keep it working. 
——
Update March 13, 2020 Still incredibly happy with this tool and it's ios version. I've actually stayed with a tool for the first time in years (like since the palm pilot days when I used lifebalance) and sort of regularly find myself wanting to drop a note to Michael (creator) just to say thank you! Regular updates and bug fixes keep coming and I appreciate the clarity of purpose Michael brings to his choices - eg. when I asked about adding a time of day for due dates he explained with great clarity not only why that wasn't going to happen but why it would actually negatively impact my effectiveness if it was there. If you download this take a good look a the filters options - they make a huge difference. ---- June 25, 2019: My requirements tend to be simple: ascii or excellent import export, multiplatform. I generally float bettween omnifocus, taskpaper and todo.txt (bad habit, but the darn apps keep getting filled up!) It had been a few years sincce todo.txt and I was sad to find that Gina's app no longer worked for sync with dropbox or with ios so I took a look around. Michael did a really nice github version that supported todo.txt formats. Swiftodo, (and the ios version he did) are even better. His sensible additions to filtering are a boon, coupled with great support. -- llamaswill, 2025-01-19 ### ***-- "Reasonable" Managing tasks is easy. Archiving, priorities, filters, and recurrence all behave like I expect My one problem is that I’m using Files for sync and managing underlying with sync thing. I get a reliable crash whenever I open following a remote change. Reopening displays everything fine. M -- Muonic, 2024-07-02 ### **--- "Date picker is still broken" The design is simple and pleasant and I love it. The only problem is that the inline date picker crashes the app when you try to use it, and is automatically opened when trying to enter a due date, so it’s essentially impossible to use due dates. The last patch suggested this was fixed but as of 3.3.4 it’s not -- lolzor6969, 2024-02-03 ### *---- "Still fail in due date" The app freezes when trying to assign an due date. -- sd_8897, 2024-01-31 ### ***-- "Good but lacking a few things.." Love the simplicity of todo.txt and this app’s implementation. However for the price I think it’s lacking some iOS integration. I would like to be able to put a today widget on a screen and cross items off throughout the day without checking the app. Time specific recurring due dates and notifications I think are necessary as well. These couple items would make this a 5 star app. -- Bkstew5616, 2023-12-31 ### ***** "I've tried them all but I keep coming back" I've tried most EVERY to-do and task application in existence (click up, notion, microsoft to do, tick tick, google tasks, remember the milk, evernote, omnifocus and org-mode, to name a few), but, I keep coming back to this plain text swift to do app. I use some tricks to organize my tasks, gtd principles of course and even create an events calendar within the app. -- Ericruns66, 2023-11-24 ### ****- "Works well but auto dark mode would be nice" Would like it to change themes automatically like most apps nowadays. -- Comfortably_nick, 2023-10-05 ### ***** "Tea timer" I have to start the tea timer when i make tea -- sebbyw, 2022-08-18 ### ****- "A really good app with no real private way to sync for" This may not be an issue with the app, but may just be an issue with the iOS files app. I wish to store my to do list on Nextcloud which I host myself. And for some reason the files app will not allow me to sync using SwiftoDo after about 12 hours. The syncing just stops.It would be nice if this app supported either WenDAB or Git direct syncing. -- amp68, 2022-06-26 ### ***** "Can’t Beat Text-based Productivity" Plain text may not be as fancy as web-based to-do apps, but its flexibility makes it more powerful and faster. Coupled with a well thought out process for managing your personal productivity, SwiftoDo really can’t be beat. -- SPE @ SEA, 2022-06-05 [View all SwiftoDo for todo.txt reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Apps Similar to SwiftoDo for todo.txt -
