Why we like it

To-Do Task Manager keeps task lists inside the .blend file itself, is released under a GPL license, and reached version 4, marked as its final release.

What is To-Do Task Manager?

To-Do Task Manager adds a to-do list inside Blender for writing down and managing tasks to do daily. You can enable it in the 3D view header, the N-panel, or the main header, choosing the display location through the addon's preferences. A floating panel is also available anywhere in Blender by pressing the addon's hotkey combination.

Each task can hold subtasks, and the addon offers a view mode and an icon indicator. It counts completed and total tasks, shows a status for unsaved or modified Blender files, and lets you set the width of the popover panel in the 3D header and the floating panel. Everything is packed into the project's .blend file.

Released under a GPL license, To-Do Task Manager reached version 4, described as its final release, and ships with the latest documentation in the addon pack. It lists compatibility with Blender 2.83 through 2.93. mydream_art also runs a discussion thread on blenderartists.org.
