Plain-text to-do managers

This cluster consists of desktop and command-line to-do list managers that store tasks in plain-text formats such as todo.txt, Markdown, or JSON, with tagging, filtering, and search capabilities. The dated entries are sporadic from 2009 to 2025, with a slight concentration in early 2026. The traction leaders are 0x54ask, todoist-cli, and reinschrift, each showing zero stars.
