todo.txt is the simplest project management tool I've ever used.

I've used a lot of issue trackers and project management tools since I started doing software development in 2007.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Many come with a lot of features I don't use or make the software overcomplicated.
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
I prefer simple software that does it's thing well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I manage my projects with a simple todo.txt file in the project directory that contains a list of my current and upcoming tasks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I can quickly open or add to it as I work and don't need to open a browser and click through multiple screens to find what I need.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It works offline, so I don't need an Internet connection if I'm travelling or somewhere where there's no wifi or mobile connectivity.
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
I will use a more complicated tool if needed but a simple text file will always be my preferred option.
