## What it is
sleek is a free and open-source todo manager built on the todo.txt plain-text syntax, with a clean GUI for creating, filtering, and searching tasks. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux and stays compatible with other todo.txt apps by watching files for changes.

## Use cases
- manage my tasks in todo.txt format with a gui
- find a todo.txt desktop app for windows mac and linux
- filter and search todos by context project and priority
- track recurring and deferred todos with due dates
- archive completed todos into a done.txt file
- use multiple todo.txt files across different todo apps

## When to choose
- you want a free, open-source, cross-platform todo.txt manager with a modern interface
- you need advanced filtering, grouping, and full-text search over plain-text todo files
- you already use todo.txt and want compatibility via file watching
- you want dark mode, due-date alarms, and multilingual support

## When to avoid
- you need cloud sync or mobile apps out of the box
- you prefer collaborative or shared task management
- you want a web-based or browser-accessible task manager
