## Project history and usage

tuxedo is a fast terminal UI and compatible command-line front end for todo.txt files.

### Project history

The official repository was created in May 2026, making tuxedo a very new package. Its README positions it as a single static binary for todo.txt, combining an interactive TUI with a `todo.txt-cli`-compatible command surface, vim-style bindings, themes, atomic writes, external-edit detection, and plain-text storage.

### Adoption history

The README already documents Homebrew installation, prebuilt binaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows, and source installation through Cargo. The supplied package metadata records Homebrew and Nix presence, which is notable for a young terminal productivity tool.

### How it is used

Users run `tuxedo` to open an interactive todo.txt interface, or `tuxedo <command>` for one-shot commands such as add, list, complete, prioritize, and archive. It resolves todo files through explicit paths, `$TODO_FILE`, `$TODO_DIR/todo.txt`, a local `./todo.txt`, or a first-run/sample flow.

Its package-manager niche is plain-text productivity: it is installable like a CLI, scriptable like todo.txt-cli, but also comfortable for keyboard-driven terminal users who want filtering, sorting, themes, undo, and atomic sync-friendly writes.

### Why package nerds care

tuxedo is significant as a modern todo.txt package that keeps the old Unix-friendly text-file contract while adding a polished TUI and static-binary distribution story.
