t
Yes, a to-do app in 2026.
t is my first attempt at creating a piece of suckless software. I went through a "debloating" phase a couple weeks ago and thought it appropriate to replace my 2.1mb to-do app with a stripped-down version that had only the features I actually used. The result is a 21kb program that does exactly what I need at a 99% footprint reduction.
Written in C99, this program is bare. But like an old japanese car, it's simple and doesn't break. The benefit of this program is not its functionality, but the fact that I personally undertook the Unix philosophy to create something that does the same as its predecessor for less.
I could go a step further, and just utilize a .txt file and basic linux commands to achieve the same functionality. However, I find that 't' earns the space it takes up on my machine by saving me many keystrokes for a measly 21kb.
Functionality
- t add "" - add a list item
- t del [id] - delete a list item
- t clear - clear the list
- t list - show the list
