Features

• Command Line Task Lists - Provides a full-featured command-line task manager for creating, modifying, filtering, and completing to-do items.
• Recurring Task Scheduling - Defines tasks that automatically regenerate on a fixed schedule such as daily or weekly.
• Task Urgency Scores - Computes a numeric urgency score for each task based on weighted factors like age, tags, and due date.
• Task Attribute Modifications - Enables updating any attribute of an existing task, such as description, priority, tags, or due date.
• Task Creations - Provides a command to create new to-do items with descriptions and optional metadata.
• Task List Management - Provides a command-line interface to list all tasks with filtering and sorting by user-defined criteria.
• Priority Management - Assigns priority levels to tasks to influence their ordering and urgency calculations.
• Task Synchronization Servers - Ships a built-in sync server that keeps task lists consistent across multiple machines.
• Flat-File Storage - Stores all tasks in a single plain-text file using a custom serialization format for portability.
• Automation Hooks - Runs custom scripts before or after task operations to enforce rules or trigger actions.
• Task Status Changes - Allows users to mark tasks as complete, recording the completion date for tracking progress.
• Expression-Based Filters - Provides a custom expression language for selecting tasks by status, priority, tags, and date ranges.
• User Data Syncing Utilities - Synchronizes task data across multiple devices so changes on one machine appear on all others.
• Task Automation Scripts - Runs external scripts before or after task operations to enforce rules, send notifications, or transform data.
• Task Filtering - Selects a subset of tasks by criteria such as status, project, tag, or due date to narrow the view.
• Task Text and Metadata Searches - Searches tasks by text, tags, priority, and date ranges using a flexible query syntax.
• Task Hooks - Runs custom scripts automatically before or after task operations to add behavior.
• Task Tagging Systems - Attaches labels to tasks for categorization and filtering, including a virtual tag system for dynamic tags.
• Urgency Scoring - Computes a numeric urgency score from weighted factors like age, tags, and due date to order tasks.
• Event-Driven Hook Systems - Executes external scripts at defined lifecycle points before or after task operations for automation.
• Task Ordering - Computes a numeric urgency score for each task based on priority, age, and tags to determine ordering.
• Urgency-Based Task Orderings - Computes a numeric urgency score for each task based on age, tags, and due date to determine ordering.
• Recurrence Templates - Generates new task instances from a template after completion, supporting flexible recurring schedules.
• Lifecycle Hook Scripts - Runs custom scripts at defined points in the task lifecycle to automate actions or enforce policies.
• Formatted Task Summaries - Generates formatted summaries of tasks with counts, status breakdowns, and overdue item highlights.
• Cross-Device Task Synchronization - Transfers task data between multiple installations so changes made on one machine appear on all others.
• JSON Data Exports - Outputs task data in structured JSON format and loads task data from JSON files for integration.
• Task Metadata Customization - Extends the default task schema with user-defined fields to store project-specific metadata.
• Reference Date Derivations - Parses human-readable date expressions like 'today' or 'eom' into absolute timestamps for task scheduling.
• Duration Value Retrievers - Parses human-readable duration strings like '1h' or '2w' for task estimates and recurrence intervals.
• JSON Data Import - Provides a built-in command to import task data from JSON files into the task database.
• Manifest-Defined Tasks - Extends the task schema with user-defined fields to store project-specific metadata alongside built-in properties.
• Custom Task Attribute Definitions - Allows users to define custom fields on tasks to store project-specific metadata.
• Named Date Expressions - Parses human-readable date strings like 'today' or 'eom' into absolute timestamps for task scheduling.
• Formatted Task Reports - Ships built-in report views that display tasks in formatted tables with status and urgency summaries.
• Event-Driven Scripting - Runs custom scripts triggered by task lifecycle events to enforce policies, send notifications, or integrate with other tools.
• Context-Based Filter Presets - Applies predefined filter presets to limit the visible task list to a specific subset of tasks.
• Context Presets - Ships predefined filter presets that limit the visible task list to a specific subset of tasks.
• Dynamic Tags - Assigns dynamic tags based on task state and attributes, enabling filtering without explicit user-defined labels.
• External Script Execution - Invokes arbitrary programs or scripts from within the task management workflow.
• Event-Triggered Scripts - Runs external scripts before or after task operations to enforce rules or send notifications.
• Custom Data Fields - Extends the task schema with custom fields to store project-specific data.
• Time and Task Management - Command-line based task and to-do list manager.
