listtodo(1)

🌸 listtodo — the manual, but make it cute 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the listtodo(1) page, General Commands Manual edition, and lemme tell you this lil utility is so underrated 💖

---

✨ NAME ✨

listtodo — Create a context-based todo list from todo.txt task file

like… it takes your chaos and gives you a context listing. iconic behavior honestly 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

listtodo [options]

that's it. that's the whole thing. simplicity ate 💅

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this program creates a formatted context listing of the tasks in the configured todo.txt tasking file. yes, YOUR tasks. the ones you've been avoiding. not me calling you out tho 🙈

the output gets saved to a .odt file, and then it's automatically opened. no extra steps, no "now go find the file", it just pops open like it's the main character. periodt ✨

the default location of the todo.txt tasking file is determined by running todo.txt --info. so if you're like "where is my file even" — that's the vibe check right there. it asks, it listens, it finds out 🌈

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

one bullet per flag, no skips, we respect the whole lineup 🫶

• -h, --help — Print help and exit. the classic. the "wait what does this do again" button 💀
• -f <FILE>> — Use <FILE> as the tasking file. point it at the file you actually want, bestie 📁
• -p <PRIORITY> — Only show tasks with priority <PRIORITY> or higher. so like, filter out the low-effort noise and keep the stuff that matters 🔥
• -t — Output the tasks to STDOUT. for when you wanna pipe it somewhere else instead of getting a whole .odt — very "I do my own thing" of you 😌
