This is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for! I love projects that can make retro computers relevant in the modern age and this little utility does a great job. I bought a copy and am using it to keep track of tasks in my office, especially retro-computer projects. There are a couple quirks but overall it works great!
Thanks! Just let me know if there is functionality you find missing and I will try do add it. I am still working on this projekt. I have some ideas that I want to add/change. For example using the arrows keys to navigate the todo list. But I have not got it working yet.
Just listed the code. Wow, that is a lot of work. One potentially simple suggestion and one aspirational. The simple suggestion would be to have the program ask if you want to save when you push 9 to Quit. Currently it is easy to quit without saving recently added items.
The aspirational change would be for people using either a C64U or some type of device with real time clock like the 1541 Ultimate II+ to check the date using DOS commands each time the program is loaded. Then you could create an option for recurring items that reset each day, or have items with deadlines. Either way, it is already a great program with a surprising amount of functionality.

I have updated the program so that it now displays a confirmation dialog when exiting the application.
I have also been thinking about using the RTC, but I haven’t written any code for it yet. I will investigate it further.
