Lines where the two differ have a tinted background and bold values. Where the data itself says which value is better (more marketplaces, a larger figure of the same marketplace, a fresher release, a verified mark on a marketplace that lists both), the better one is also marked green with ▲ and the worse one red with ▼. Where it runs, the transport, the tools, the settings, hooks, the bundle's parts, the licence and the week's changes are marked only as different: more or fewer is not better in itself.
What each says it does
todo4
Todo4 gives Claude Code a durable memory for your work. Ask Claude to create tasks, log follow-ups mid-debugging, or break an epic into subtasks — and those tasks persist across sessions, projects, and even other agents (Claude Cowork, OpenClaw). There are 16 MCP tools cover the full lifecycle (create, update, close, comment, subtasks, tags, notifications) plus a /todo4:status command for a quick overdue / due-today dashboard. Free tier available, OAuth sign-in handles auth on first use.
