TodoList TUI is a fast, privacy-focused, cross-platform to-do list application designed to function seamlessly across Windows, Linux, and Android terminals. The project aims to address the common challenges in traditional to-do list apps, such as syncing issues, offline support, and data privacy concerns. A major issue with many existing to-do list apps is inconsistent synchronization across platforms, leading to confusion and disrupted productivity. Users may also struggle with apps that require constant internet connectivity, limiting their ability to manage tasks offline, especially in areas with unreliable internet access. Furthermore, many of these apps collect excessive personal data and fail to prioritize user privacy, leaving sensitive information vulnerable. To tackle these problems, TodoList TUI is built using Rust, a language known for its strong cross-platform capabilities and memory safety. By leveraging terminal-based libraries such as ratatui or crossterm, the application ensures consistent performance across multiple operating systems. It operates entirely offline, storing tasks in a local file or database, with optional cloud synchronization when an internet connection is available. The app ensures end-to-end encryption, keeping user data secure both locally and when synced with a cloud service. With minimal data collection and a transparent privacy policy, users maintain full control over their information. Additionally, the app will feature a simple and intuitive command-line interface, allowing users to quickly add, remove, and prioritize tasks with ease. Customizable settings and themes will cater to different user preferences, further enhancing usability. This solution empowers users to manage their tasks securely, efficiently, and privately, regardless of their device or location, ensuring a seamless experience across platforms
