todolist's Introduction

Ultralist

Simple task management for tech folks.

Ultralist is a task management system for technical people. It is command-line component that is very fast and stays out of the way.

Ultralist is based off of the Getting Things Done system. It has a concept of due dates, projects, and contexts.

Combined with Ultralist Pro, Ultralist provides a superior task management experience to Todoist, Any.do etc. The command-line will app always be first and foremost.

See the ultralist docs for the all documentation.

How does Ultralist relate to Ultralist Pro?

ultralist is this tool.
Ultralist Pro is an enhancement service to the ultralist tool. It allows for synchronization between computers, management of your task lists on the web + mobile, integrations with tools you already use, teams, and more.

How is this different from todo.txt?

todo.txt is great. But it didn't work well for my needs.

Here's how ultralist compares specifically to todo.txt:

Due dates. they are a core concept of ultralist but not todo.txt.
Synchronizing. Syncing is built into the CLI using the ultralist.io service.
Active development. the ultralist CLI is under active development, whereas todo.txt's CLI is not.
