Todos, without the noise
A fast, minimal task manager — personal enough for one person, structured enough for a small team.
Free while in alpha.
Intro
Introcreatetodo is a task manager that stays out of the way — capture, organize, complete, and get back to the work.
It is local-first: the app opens instantly, works offline, and syncs in real time when you are back.
And it speaks MCP, so your AI agents can read, create, and organize todos right alongside you.
Everything you need, nothing you don’t
Keyboard-first
Step through todos with j/k, reach everything from the command palette, and keep your hands on the keys.
Local-first
Your todos live on your device, so the app opens instantly and keeps working offline. Changes sync when you are back.
Real-time sync
Every tab, device, and teammate sees changes the moment they happen — no refresh, no save button.
Made for agents
A first-class MCP server, a JSON-first CLI, and an installable skill let AI agents read, create, and organize todos the way you do.
Structure on demand
Subtodos, labels, priorities, and due dates when you need them — and drag & drop for everything.
Minimal by design
No sprawling settings, no process to maintain. Capture, organize, complete — and get back to the work.
Your agents work here too
The ct command line
Every command prints JSON, so results pipe straight into an agent’s context.
npm install -g @createtodo/cli
ct ready # actionable work: open, no blockers
ct claim MZ-123 # assign to yourself and start it
ct close MZ-123 # done — reports what it unblockedMCP server
