Is your Mac up to date with the latest version of the Mac operating system (macOS or OS X)? Is it using the version required by some other product that you want to use with your Mac? Which versions are earlier (older) or later (newer, more recent)? To find out, learn which version is installed now.

• Microsoft Todo Mac Os
• Todo App Mac

Todo for Mac helps you organize your various tasks and stay on top of projects. You will surely benefit from this app's organizational tools. The apps are available on Mac, iPhone, Apple Watch, and iPad. Check out our 15 day free trial of Things for Mac. MacOS 10.13+ $49.99 (US).

If your macOS isn't up to date, you may be able to update to a later version.

Which macOS version is installed?

From the Apple menu  in the corner of your screen, choose About This Mac. You should see the macOS name, such as macOS Mojave, followed by its version number. If you need to know the build number as well, click the version number to see it.

This example shows macOS Catalina version 10.15 build 19A583.

Which macOS version is the latest?

These are all Mac operating systems, starting with the most recent. When a major new macOS is released, it gets a new name, such as macOS Catalina. As updates that change the macOS version number become available, this article is updated to show the latest version of that macOS.

If your Mac is using an earlier version of any Mac operating system, you should install the latest Apple software updates, which can include important security updates and updates for the apps that are installed by macOS, such as Safari, Books, Messages, Mail, Music, Calendar, and Photos.

TodoTxtMac is a minimalist, keyboard-driven to-do manager for Mac OS X that conforms to the todo.txt format spec. Official support and testing are only done on Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) at this time, though the application is built to run on Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) and higher. (Additional screenshots below.)

The commercial version of TodoTxtMac is called SwiftoDo Desktop and is available from the Mac App Store. SwiftoDo Desktop has the same features as TodoTxtMac, but adds application sandboxing and is code-signed, so it plays nicely with Gatekeeper (i.e., Security & Privacy systems preferences). Purchasing SwiftoDo Desktop will help support further development of this app and other todo.txt apps on Apple platforms, such as SwiftoDo for iOS.

There is also a free version of TodoTxtMac available on the Releases page on GitHub. TodoTxtMac releases hosted on GitHub are not sandboxed or code-signed.

This application is inspired by the Todotxt.net application for Microsoft Windows with numerous improvements and modifications specific to the Mac OS X platform. It is designed to pair well with other todo.txt applications, such as SwiftoDo, Todotxt.net, SimpleTask, topydo, and many others.

From a design perspective, the goal is to be the fastest, simplest, and cleanest implementation possible.

• This application is not meant for direct reordering of tasks in the todo.txt file.

• This application does not support line breaks, long-form notes, attachments, or other features not part of the todo.txt format specification.

Is there a preference to re-open my todo.txt file on launch?

Yes, but most people will not need such a preference, because the default behavior of TodoTxtMac is to reopen whatever todo.txt files were open when you last quit the app. To enjoy this behavior, do not close your todo.txt file's window prior to quitting the app.

If the TodoTxtMac is not reopening your files, or keeping a list of them in the 'File > Open Recent' menu, then you should check the following preferences under System Preferences > General:

1. 'Close windows when quitting an app' must be unchecked.
2. 'Recent items' must not be 'None'.

If you need to force TodoTxtMac to open a particular todo file on launch, you may set a default todo.txt file in TodoTxtMac's Preferences > Startup.

You may also force TodoTxtMac to open a particular todo file on launch, you may launch the app with the command-line argument 'todo-file', in the Terminal, as follows:

$ open /Applications/TodoTxtMac.app --args -todo-file ~/Documents/todo.txt

Is this application Dropbox-enabled?

No. Unlike the official Todo.txt iOS application, this application does not call Dropbox's API. You can sync your file outside of TodoTxtMac via Dropbox or other services. TodoTxtMac will automatically reload your file if it detects changes init, from Dropbox or other sync providers. Also, you can easily reload you todo.txt file on demand with a keyboard shortcut ('.').

TodoTxtMac says my todo.txt file cannot be autosaved. The file has been changed by another application.

Note: The section below applies to versions prior to 2.3.0. TodoTxtMac now will automatically reload your file when it changes on disk.

Your todo.txt file can get modified outside of TodoTxtMac, especially if you are syncing the file via Dropbox or a similar service. TodoTxtMac uses Cocoa's default document object model to handle the file interactions. This means that the application will warn you of file changes that came from outside the application when you try to make changes to the file, not at the moment the file was changed. To avoid file conflicts, try the following strategies:

1. Reload your TodoTxtMac file manually (press .) before making changes to it, if you believe the file was updated (by Dropbox for example) recently.
2. Close TodoTxtMac when not using it for extended periods.
3. When presented with the option to 'Save Anyway' or 'Revert' changes, always revert changes. You will have to re-do your last action in TodoTxtMac, but you will not lose the changes that originated outside the application.

Note that modifying your todo.txt file in a Cocoa NSDocument-based application, such as TextEdit, will result in live updates in TodoTxtMac.

Will this project be ported from Objective C to Swift?

At this time, there are no concrete plans to move from Objective C to Swift. If Apple deprecates Objective C, this will change.

Thanks to Gina Trapani who created the Todo.txt format and the community of developers who created the command line tools and iOS/Android apps.

Thanks to Ben Hughes whose Windows application todotxt.net formed the basis of this application's design and feature set. Todotxt.net is a fantastic program and did not have an analog on the Mac. After starting my application, I contributed some patches to todotxt.net and am happy to be a contributor on such a great project.

Thanks to Josh Wright <@BendyTree> for his RegExCategories library.

Thanks to Sam Daitzman <@sdaitzman> for the application icon.

Thanks to Andy Matuschak and the other contributors for the Sparkle framework.
