[x]it! is a plain-text file format specification for todos and check lists, stored in .xit files editable with any text editor. The repository hosts the specification and documentation rather than a runnable tool.

Use cases

• keep a plain-text todo list in version control
• write checklists in a structured text format
• track tasks with priorities, tags, and due dates without an app
• define a standard format for todo files across tools
• maintain packing lists or backlogs as text files

When to choose

• you want todos as plain text editable anywhere with no tooling lock-in
• you need a well-defined, human-readable checklist format to build tools against
• you prefer version-controllable task files over task apps

When to avoid

• you need a GUI task manager with reminders and sync
• you want ready-made tooling rather than a format specification
• you need collaborative or multi-user task management
