crix-todo 🦀✅

Version 1.0.0 – Saracen

A terminal-based task manager written in Rust — redesigned from the ground up for speed, simplicity, and focus.
No more cluttered commands. Just one clean, unified experience.

⚙️ Overview

crix-todo now runs entirely from a single command:

todo

This launches the interactive TUI, where you can add, edit, delete, split, and reorganize your todos in one streamlined interface.
The philosophy: minimal UI, maximal control.

📦 Installation

cargo install crix-todo

🚀 Highlights

• 🧭 Single Command Workflow – Launch everything with just todo.
• ➕ Add Inline – Press = inside the TUI to instantly create a new task.
• ✏️ Inline Editing – Edit title or notes directly without leaving the view.
• 🔁 Undo Support – Quickly recover from mistakes with u.
• 🪶 Simplified Metadata – No tags, no due dates, no “done” status. Just titles, priorities, and notes.
• 🌳 Modern Tree-Style Layout – Todos and notes are rendered in a clear, visual hierarchy.
• 🧩 Split Tasks – Break large todos into smaller parts with a single keypress.
• ⚡ Instant State Persistence – All changes are saved immediately to your local JSON store.
