I've used sleek as my primary todo.txt UI for a while now, and I'm really happy with it. If you are interested in a simple, but useful way to put together a todo list in plaintext, the todo.txt spec is a great way to handle it, and sleek is by far the nicest GUI I've found.
About a week ago, I ran into a minor annoyance with an edge use-case that I have, and I wrote about it in the sleek github discussion page. Within 4 days, the maintainer of the project had a new build ready that fixed my issue. Nobody else said they needed it, but they took the time to add the feature I requested and now my workflow is that much easier.
I know not every project is like this, or can be like this, but there's no way that something like this would get added at anywhere near this pace in proprietary software. I, for one, am super grateful that software like this and the people that maintain it exist. Thank you.
Please check out sleek!
Which Obsidian plugin are you using?

Thanks. Did you end up saving your todo file with the .todotxt extension then for now? Does that work for Sleek on desktop?
For now, I use the 1.3.1 release of sleek because it has more features than the 2.0.0-dev8 pre-release build that solved my problem. As a temporary workaround, I create my todo.txt files as
filename.todotxtin my obsidian vaults and manually hardlink those files tofilename.txtin atodo_txtdirectory somewhere else on each machine I use sleek on. It works totally fine, it's just a bit janky. I'll be happy when sleek 2.0 comes out and I can get rid of the hardlinks.Thanks, appreciate the help! I can live without tasks on phone for a little longer, so I guess I'll wait out for the release and then set up the sync.
