atlas.todo is a fast, keyboard-centric terminal user interface (TUI) for task management. Part of the Atlas Suite, it helps you organize your life with local-first storage, smart grouping, and Vim-like navigation.
- 📊 Smart Grouping: Cycle views by Category, Day, or Priority with a single key.
- ⌨️ Vim Bindings: Navigate, edit, and move tasks without leaving the keyboard.
- 🏷️ Metadata Parsing: Add
@categoryor!priority(!high, !med, !low) directly in the task title. - 🔍 Real-time Search: Filter tasks instantly as you type.
- 💾 Local First: Your data lives in
~/.atlas/todo.json—no cloud, no latency. - 📦 Cross-Platform: Binaries available for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
