Feels like a project covering some of the same ground as task warrior [0], which I've used on and off over the years. The main thing I've appreciated is integration with various tools - I had access in both vimwiki and the macOS task bar for a while which was nice - but all these tools miss the key thing that stops me using them all the time: integration with tools on my phone. It's great having cli access to tasks and in other places, but without ubiquity, given the way I work, it might well just be another place that ideas of tasks I need to do go to die.

Has't someone made a simple runtime environment for CLI apps for iOS and Android ? With a file picker GUI and not much else GUI ?

I tried to use task warrior, however, a) I need a way to creat task quickly when I think about them (I guess I am being a bit on the attention deficit spectrum) b) I need a way to integrate a bit with time boxing on my work calendar . The problem is that the task warrior android or mobile eb apps app on mobile are really a bit of a UX nightmare compared to the cli interface. And while the plugin landscape of task warrior is broad, support for typical work settings is not really great out of the box. In the end all 'solutions' only seem to be a road towards meta-procrastination, instead of getting things done...

Looks great but a configurable date format to support the European standards of dd/MM/yyy would turn it into something I could actualy use

Does it handle both recurring events and recurrence?

E.g. move the lawn every other week vs pay rent on the 17th every month. If I go a week overdue on rent I still need to pay the next on the 17th. If I go a week overdue on the lawn I don't need to mow again for two weeks, not one.

What I dont like about computer todo or task lists is that they kind of describe you pretty well to prying eyes. As a privacy enthusiast im not that keen on having that info get out, especially with recall and possibly multiple other ai agents running around in the background looking through my stuff. I dont know what the solution to this is and Im not sure Linux will be free from this either in the future. Perhaps a disconnected linux box purely for todo lists that i manually ssh into to get access to? (but that would then be connected, hmm... perhaps through a physical firewall intermediary?)

Also check out org-mode, which is emacs' own journaling and organization system!
