What is sleek?
sleek is an open-source (FOSS) todo manager based on the todo.txt syntax. Stripped down to only the most necessary features, and with a clean and simple interface, sleek aims to help you focus on getting things done.
All classic todo.txt attributes are supported and enhanced by additional features. Creating todos is straightforward, and tag-based filtering in tandem with highly customisable grouping and smart full-text search allow for rapid information retrieval. Completed todos can be hidden or archived into separate done.txt files. Easy integration with other todo.txt apps is facilitated by continuously scanning todo.txt files for changes.
sleek is available for Windows, MacOS and Linux, and in several languages.

I've been using todo.txt for years. I guess i just like the nice interface without messing up the underlying simple text data files.
But the recurring todo calendar method needs improvement.
I'm looking forward to improvements.
Sleek is a Amazing Looking todo.txt client. It is cross platform across all desktop environments. While I wish it had mobile apps, IMHO it is the best todo.txt client for desktop.
Very nice interface. I love that I can open my todo.txt file in a text editor and do bulk changes while Sleek is running. As soon as I save the file, Sleek will update itself with the changes. Nice, simple tool that does one thing very well.
Limited to Win-10/11. I was hoping for Win-7 PRO As an alternative to "AlephNote"
Very clean interface, great design, well thought options and edition of tasks (use as model). It looks perfect but I think filters need a click less and it’s not so light I would like. It can be used as alarm soft if you don’t close it.
Thanks for your comment. As for your remark on the filters you have a good point. Since version 0.8.3 you can now open the filter drawer and sleek will remember the state. Like this you can use sleek with the filter drawer always open.
