What KomoDo is

KomoDo is a Linux desktop todo manager built around the todo.txt specification. It opens existing todo.txt files and lets you create new ones, presenting their contents as task lists. You can add, edit, or delete tasks, then use search and filtering to find particular work. Help inside the app explains the todo.txt format for newcomers. KDE distributes KomoDo for Linux through Discover, other AppStream stores, and distribution package managers. The software is free to download, with a listed price of $0, and there is no free trial. It uses the GPL-2.0-or-later license. The listed 1.6.0 release, dated 2026-02-20, includes markdown-style inline links and parsing fixes. KDE links to its Discuss forum for assistance and bugs.kde.org for bug reports. KDE’s policy says its software generally transfers no device information except after explicit user action.
