Why the hell another TODO app?

Many times, I found myself in the situation to switch from one task to another? Those tasks are more like mini-projects. Therefore, I need to shift my brain to a completely different topic which is annoying because you have to remember all the important stuff you wanted to do. To make it easier for me I tried different apps including some mindmapping tools. I never felt really comfortable but to be honest, I didn't spent much time to learn all the cool quirks per app.

What does clerk aim for?

Satisfy my needs!

No mouse interaction at all
No fancy UI
Interactive commandline
Get the job done with as few keystrokes as possible
Visual feedback such as highlighting

When this is all for you why make it public?

You got the same needs? => Get it!

You like the approach but you can do better? => Fork it!
