history
Project history and usage
todoist-cli-go is an unofficial Go command-line client for Todoist. It predates the current official Doist td CLI in Homebrew and remains notable as a terminal-first Todoist wrapper with local cache, API-token configuration, and integrations with fuzzy finders.
Project history
The official README identifies the project as an unofficial Todoist CLI client written in Go. It documents commands for listing, showing, adding, modifying, closing, reopening, deleting, syncing, and quick-adding Todoist tasks.
The README now distinguishes the Homebrew formula name todoist-cli-go from the official Doist todoist-cli formula, noting that the formula was renamed to make room for the official CLI. It also warns that users must upgrade to v0.23 or later before February 10, 2026 because older versions depend on Todoist APIs scheduled for shutdown.
Adoption history
The project documents installation through Homebrew, the author's tap, AUR packages, Nix/NixOS, Docker, and source builds. That distribution pattern is typical of a popular unofficial CLI: it spread through package managers before the vendor-maintained command arrived.
How it is used
Users register a Todoist API token, run todoist sync, and then use subcommands for task and project operations. The README recommends peco or fzf shell functions for interactive selection, which places the tool in a classic terminal productivity workflow.
Why package nerds care
The package is significant mostly as a naming and migration story. Homebrew users who knew todoist-cli as the Go client later had to distinguish todoist-cli-go from Doist's official todoist-cli, and the README makes that package-name split explicit.
