myTODO v1.2.0
The structure release: todos can hang under other todos, a toolbar puts the
common moves one click away, and the list keeps itself in a sensible order —
what you are working on stays in sight, finished work sinks, and new todos
never land under it.
Added
-
Named color labels — colors carry categories, so they now have names.
Settings → Todo colors lists the whole palette one color per row: rename
or recolor any of the 8 built-ins, add up to 12 of your own, and put the
built-ins back with one click. -
Every list can rename a color for itself — the palette is shared, the
names are yours: the same blue can be "Waiting for review" at work and
"Groceries" at home. The todo detail panel's Manage… opens the names of
the list you are in; empty means "use the shared name". -
Icon & color for a list — right-click a list → Icon & color… opens a
roomy picker with 36 curated icons (work, home, study, travel, money…) and
the named list colors, with a live preview of how the list will look. -
Lists have their own color — from a separate palette (Settings → List
colors), so list colors and todo colors never fight over the same meaning.
Pick one from the list's right-click menu; it shows as a stripe in the rail,
a tint behind the icon, the tab underline and a line along the top of the
pane — in a split view you can see at a glance which pane is which. -
Settings has a sidebar — the dialog is much roomier and split into
sections instead of one long column: Appearance, Shortcuts and
Files. Ctrl+K also jumps straight to a section ("Settings: appearance"). -
Appearance section — theme (follow system / dark / light), window scale
and todo text size now have a proper home, not just the title-bar popover. -
Todos sort themselves as you work — mark one In Progress and it jumps
to the top (under the pins), mark it Done or Cancelled and it sinks to
the bottom (above the archive). What you are working on stays in sight, what
is finished stops getting in the way. A todo only ever moves inside its own
group, and pinned todos stay put. Turn it off in the new Settings →
Behavior section. -
Reorder a todo from the keyboard — Alt+↑ and Alt+↓ move the
selected todo one row up or down, so ordering no longer needs the mouse. It
stays inside its own group and under its own parent, and a pinned todo moves
among the pinned ones. Both are in the Edit menu and the right-click
menu, which is also where the whole sub-item block (Make sub-item, Lift out)
now lives with its shortcuts spelled out. -
New todos no longer land under the finished ones — Settings → Behavior
→ New todos go picks between to the top (right under what you are
working on) and to the bottom (the end of the list, but still above
everything done and cancelled). Applies wherever a todo is born: quick add,
the global quick-add window, a group's right-click menu, or an applied AI
proposal. -
A todo can become a sub-item of another — for when something turns out
to be part of a bigger job rather than a job of its own. Drag a todo onto
another one and it slides underneath it; aim for the thin strip at the top or
bottom edge of a row instead and a line shows it will land between two rows,
as before. Tab nests the selected todo under the one above it,
Shift+Tab lifts it back out, and the right-click menu has both. Three
levels deep at most — the same limit groups have.
Sub-items travel with their parent: pin, archive, delete or move a todo to
another list and the whole branch goes with it. Statuses stay independent,
except for the new Done with sub-items in the right-click menu, which
closes a todo and everything under it in one undoable step.
A todo with sub-items gets a caret, exactly like a group: fold the branch
away and the row shows how many items are hiding under it. Searching opens
everything up, so nothing stays hidden from a filter. -
Toolbar — a slim row under the title bar for the things you reach for
constantly on the selected todo: undo, make sub-item / lift out, done, pin
and delete. Every button has a tooltip with its shortcut, and greys out when
it does not apply — so the toolbar also tells you what is possible right now.
The title bar is untouched; hide the row from View → Toolbar if you would
rather have the space.
Fixed
- Text inside input fields could not be selected with the mouse.
Changed
- Double-click renames a todo in place — the row turns into an input, Enter
saves, Esc cancels, clicking away saves. No more detour through the detail
panel for a typo. - Enter opens the details of the selected todo (this is what double-click
used to do). Right-click → Open details and F2 still work as before.
Install
- Installer:
myTODO_x.y.z_x64-setup.exe(NSIS) or the.msi— installed copies update themselves from here. - Portable: the
-portable.zip— unzip and run, your data stays in the folder.
