What is Archiving?

Archiving moves your completed tasks to a separate file, keeping your active todo list clean and organized.

How It Works

sleek uses two files:

  • todo.txt — Your active tasks (including completed ones marked with x)
  • done.txt — Your archive file where completed tasks are stored

When you archive, sleek:

  1. Finds all completed tasks (starting with x )
  2. Moves them to done.txt
  3. Removes them from todo.txt

Setting Up Archiving

  1. Open sleek settings
  2. Set up a Done File (typically done.txt in the same folder as your todo.txt)
  3. Done!

How to Archive

  1. Mark tasks as complete in sleek (add x at the start)
  2. Click the Archive button
  3. All completed tasks move to your archive file

Example

Before Archiving:

todo.txt:
- Walk the dog
x Buy groceries
- Call mom

After Archiving:

todo.txt:
- Walk the dog
- Call mom

done.txt:
x Buy groceries
