sleek is an open-source (FOSS) todo manager based on the todo.txt syntax. Stripped down to only the most necessary features, and with a clean and simple interface, sleek aims to help you focus on getting things done.

All classic todo.txt attributes are supported and enhanced by additional features. Creating todos is straightforward, and tag-based filtering in tandem with highly customisable grouping and smart full-text search allow for rapid information retrieval. Completed todos can be hidden or archived into separate done.txt files. Easy integration with other todo.txt apps is facilitated by continuously scanning todo.txt files for changes.

sleek is available for Windows, macOS and Linux, and in several languages.

User Reviews

  • Best to-do app for privacy-oriented me. Simple, based on the todo.txt file format. Very clean interface. Runs on my desktop (no entity in the cloud harvesting my lists of my activities). The todo.txt file can be viewed on my other devices with any notepad-like app.
  • Probably the best (yet barely famous) GUI for todo.txt and maybe even for simple handling tasks cross-plattform and avoiding Google and proprietary/closed source at all.
  • Love it. Really thought through (filtering and sorting). Learning to use it better every day. I have one really simple suggestion to make it even better: right click on tab to see context menu entry "open file location". Because sometimes editing the text file in notepad etc. is faster (i.e. pushing/replacing a specific date on several items in one go)

    Thanks for your feedback. I implemented this into the latest developer preview of sleek 2.0: https://github.com/ransome1/sleek/releases/tag/v2.0.0-dev12. Feel free to test it out in report feedback on GitHub in case it is not as expected.
  • Very very nice. Love the UI and thank you for continuing to support it. If I had suggestion/request they would be: (A) An option to minimize to taskbar normally, but close to tray. (B) Backup todo.txt on change, max backups editable. Again - Thank you!
