Fast TODO discovery for VS Code, with tree/list views, editor highlights, and ripgrep-powered workspace scans.
Features
- Browse TODO comments from a dedicated Activity Bar view.
- Switch between compact list mode and grouped tree mode.
- Scan workspaces quickly with
@vscode/ripgrep.
- Refresh automatically when files change or when open text buffers are edited.
- Highlight
TODO and TODO: markers directly in the editor.
- Recognize common comment styles for JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust,
Java, C/C++, C#, HTML, Markdown, CSS, SQL, Shell, PowerShell, Ruby, Lua,
Haskell, Elixir, Svelte, Blade, Razor, Vimscript, Batch, LaTeX, Lisp, and
INI-style files.

Development
Install dependencies, then launch the extension host from VS Code:
npm install
npm run compile
Press F5 in VS Code to start an Extension Development Host.
npm test
npm run check
npm run lint
npm run format:check
Package and publish:
npm run package
npm run package:darwin-x64
npm run package:all
npm run publish:all
GitHub Actions publishes automatically when a v* tag is pushed. Add a
VSCE_PAT repository secret before releasing. The workflow packages each target
separately so the native @vscode/ripgrep binary matches the VSIX platform.
For platform builds, use npm run package:<target> instead of calling
npx @vscode/vsce package --target <target> directly; the npm script copies the
matching native ripgrep binary before packaging.
