WhatToDo, is a simple but effective to do list manager, based on the todo.txt format by Gina Trapani.
In WhatToDo, your tasks are stored in a single and simple todo.txt text file.
Thanks to this format, you can take always your data with you, even you can edit the file with a simple text editor, because it has no strange or hidden format.
WhatToDo uses a command line style input to perform its tasks.
The help command will show all available commands and a brief explanation for each:
Command (HELP for help)? help
