history
Project history and usage
pter manages todo.txt files through terminal and graphical interfaces.
Project history
The maintainer's published release history records releases from June 2020, including a 1.0 release later that month. Development is hosted on Codeberg.
Adoption history

How it is used
Launch pter with a todo.txt path, or use qpter for the graphical interface. Tasks can be searched by project, context and completion state; additional features include recurring tasks, templates and time tracking.
Why package nerds care
pter combines terminal and optional Qt interfaces around interoperable plain-text task files. Its installation guidance recommends pipx and provides an optional Qt dependency extra.
