Simple Task Manager inspired by vimwiki and password-store.
RTASK is a simple recursive task manager that helps you organize everything that is thrown at you on a daily basis. It’s designed to be:
- Easy to use. lets you add and edit tasks easily from the command line and stays out of your way.
- Simple. It’s just files on disk, so it can theoretically contain anything you want, and information can be easily drawn from it
- Allows you to set up an infinite (theoretically) amount of sub tasks
- Allows you to add comments to tasks to add context.
The features of this are heavily influenced by my own needs. I now work in an environment where tasks are coming at me from all directions, and I needed some way to keep track of them outside my forgetful, ADHD-addled brain. Any other task manager I looked at either lacked the features I needed, or were heavily oriented toward project management, which adds a layer of features that I wasn’t interested in.
Design Philosophy
- File backend
- infinitely recursive sub-tasks
- comments on tasks
- simple structure. simple functions which output text. These functions can be used by their consumers to transform text to actions
- this means we can change languages for functions easily
