## What it is
Tuxedo is a fast, keyboard-driven terminal UI for managing todo.txt files, written in Rust and shipped as a single static binary. It combines an interactive TUI with a todo.txt-cli-compatible command line, featuring Vim-style bindings, atomic writes, natural-language task entry, and phone capture via QR code.

## Use cases
- manage my todo.txt tasks from the terminal
- add tasks with natural language like 'pay rent monthly on the first'
- capture tasks from my phone into my todo list
- script task management with a todo.txt-cli compatible CLI
- filter and sort tasks by project, context, priority, or due date
- sync my todo.txt across devices via Dropbox without conflicts
- use vim keybindings to manage my todo list

## When to choose
- you already use the todo.txt plain-text format and want a fast TUI
- you want vim-style keyboard navigation and a command palette
- you need a scriptable CLI alongside an interactive UI in one binary
- you value atomic, sync-friendly writes and external-edit detection
- you want offline, local-only task management with no cloud dependency

## When to avoid
- you need a graphical or mobile-first task manager
- you want collaboration, reminders, or cloud sync built in
- you use a different task format than todo.txt
- you need recurring tasks or advanced scheduling beyond due dates
