What is KomoDo?
KomoDo is a free KDE application for Linux that manages to-do lists stored as todo.txt files. It reads any file that follows the todo.txt specification and shows each line as a task card that can be added, edited, deleted, filtered and searched. A built-in help section explains the todo.txt format, and the source code is published under the GPL-2.0-or-later license.
KomoDo is free to use. See every plan
Good for
- Linux and KDE Plasma users who keep tasks in todo.txt
- People who want their list in a plain-text file they control
- Newcomers to todo.txt who want the format explained in the app
Worth knowing
- Linux only: the KDE page offers installation through Linux app stores, distribution packages and Flathub, which marks it as desktop only.
- The feature list covers opening, editing, filtering and searching todo.txt files; it mentions no sync, reminders or mobile app.
- The project is young: version 1.0.0 was released on 2025-08-01.
Key features
- Works on todo.txt files
- KomoDo opens any file that follows the todo.txt specification and can create new ones, so a list stays in a plain-text format that other todo.txt tools read.
- Tasks shown as cards
- A line with a priority, a date, a +project, an @context and tags such as due: is parsed and shown as a card, not as raw text.
- Add, edit and delete tasks
- Tasks are added, changed and removed from within the app, which works directly on the todo.txt file.
- Filter and search
- The task list can be filtered and searched. Version 1.5.0 sped up search and fixed loading of a saved filter.
- Built-in todo.txt help
- A help section inside the app explains the todo.txt specification, which the project says makes it suitable for newcomers to the format.
- Inline links and launch arguments
- Version 1.6.0 added Markdown-style inline links in tasks, and version 1.5.0 added arguments for starting the app from the command line.
