A full featured task manager to accompany your Todo.txt file and smartphone apps.
Todo.txt - simple task management Extension
Most to-do apps store your task list in their own database and file format. But you can open a todo.txt file with every text editor under the sun. Todo.txt for Chrome helps you manage your task list in your favourite browser, and automatically syncs the file to all your computers and devices via Dropbox or Google Drive.
Future-proof your to-do list and store it in a plain text file YOU control. Todo.txt for Chrome makes it easy to add, update and prioritise tasks, tag them with project names and contexts, search, filter, and most importantly, mark your tasks complete.
To use this app, you must have a Dropbox or Google Drive account.
