# ARE YOU NEW TO THE TODO.TXT FORMAT? SEE WHAT IT OFFERS:
## A task list that *you* control
Your task list is a plain text file, not some proprietary format owned by a company or locked to a specific application.
## A simple and timeless format
Plain text is the simplest file format there is. It will always be accessible, by some kind of application, forever.
## Few rules to learn
Learn only a few simple formatting rules (which SwiftoDo will take care of for you) to indicate task priority, task completion, and so on.
## A GTD-ready system
The todo.txt format was built with Getting Things Done in mind. It supports projects (which begin with a “+”) and contexts (which begin with a “@“).
## Use alongside any app on any platform
This app plays nicely with file sync software. It saves changes instantly, and reloads the file when changes are detected from external sources.
What’s New
Version 4.3.3
Enhancements:
- Improved the parsing of time strings, like "12:15" or "(13:30-15:30)" or "(3:00-4:00 PM)", so that they are not parsed as todo.txt tags.
Ratings and Reviews
Great little GUI for todo.txt conferment to do list
This is a great little GUI for todo.txt conferment to do list. I like the line through for done tasks and the colors for projects.
Let's Go Back To Drawing Board
The only explanation I can come up with is the included Help / Instruction file included with SwifttoDo was cut-n-pasted from a different app? Even when you do figure out a function, you ask yourself if it were worth the effort.
Putting all this aside, I think the developer needs to pass out a dozen or so free copies of app to friends and ask them to road test it and return comments. I feel the intentions for development are good, but we must recall that the developer is his/she worst editor and reviewer.
Try again!! Since I've bought it, I'll return for another test drive.
Small Bugs Adding Up
I have found multiple issues with the app - file saving issues, visual glitches, etc. I tried to contact the developer but got no response, and the app has not seen an update in a year.
It's too bad - this is a great task management system and it is generally a well-designed app, but the bugs make it hard to recommend. I will update if the developer gets in touch or the app is updated with fixes.
