Why the hell another TODO app?

Many times, I found myself in the situation to switch from one task to another? Those tasks are more like mini-projects. Therefore, I need to shift my brain to a completely different topic which is annoying because you have to remember all the important stuff you wanted to do. To make it easier for me I tried different apps including some mindmapping tools. I never felt really comfortable but to be honest, I didn't spent much time to learn all the cool quirks per app.

What does clerk aim for?

Satisfy my needs!

• No mouse interaction at all
• No fancy UI
• Interactive commandline
• Get the job done with as few keystrokes as possible
• Visual feedback such as highlighting

When this is all for you why make it public?

You got the same needs? => Get it!

You like the approach but you can do better? => Fork it!
