Get Started
All it takes to use [x]it! is a plain text file and the text editor of your choice.
The file extension is .xit
. Some examples:
-
todo.xit
for your personal tasks. -
loans.xit
to keep track of things that people borrowed from you. -
movies.xit
as a backlog of films you want to watch. -
packing.xit
with things you really shouldn’t forget on your next camping trip.
Tooling
You don’t have to use a specific tool for .xit
files,
the basic operations like creating items or checking them off can be done in every text editor.
But tooling support makes working with [x]it! more fun, powerful and convenient. The ones below were created and shared by other users. (They are independent projects.)
