Taskwarrior

Taskwarrior () is a Article description::to-do list manager for the command line written in C++. It uses a simple human readable text file format to store to-do list items and associated metadata. Taskwarrior isn't tied to a specific school of thought on task organization. It's designed to be simple yet flexible and scalable. As such, Taskwarrior has a syntax that is simple and intuitive.

Notable features include:


 * Data is stored locally in JSON files, easing migration to and from Taskwarror.
 * Interactions can be scripted via Taskwarrior's Hooks API.
 * Multiple UI options are available as part of the Taskwarrior ecosystem.
 * When paired with, tasks can be shared with multiple remote client applications.

Environment variables

 * TASKRC allows the user to relocate the configuration file to a desired directory.
 * TASKDATA allows the user to relocate the data file to a desired directory.

Modifying these variables is not required to enforce XDG Base Directory Support. If you've installed task warrior and it's ignoring you XDG preferences see the troubleshooting section.

Files

 * — XDG local (per user) configuration file.
 * — XDG task list directory with tasks spread across multiple files.
 * — legacy local (per user) configuration file.
 * — legacy local (per user) task list directory with tasks spread across multiple files.

Service
By itself, Taskwarrior is a single device application allowing all users on the device to have their own personal tasks lists. However, the taskd daemon provides a backend task server which provides for multiuser and multiclient support. Some smartphone applications, notably Foreground for Android, have begun to support this.
