YOUR TASKS
ARE JUST TEXT.

Modern todo list tools try to store tasks in complex databases and private clouds.

TASK_GENIUS.md returns to the essence.
Markdown is the best format for recording thoughts.
We don't store data; we just elegantly render your .md files.
No database migrations, just file I/O.
