Taskwarrior is an open-source, cross platform time and task management tool, used to keep track of and handle tasks. It uses a command-line interface, although since its inception, graphical user interface wrappers have also been created.
Taskwarrior uses concepts and techniques described in Getting Things Done by David Allen, but is paradigm-agnostic in that it does not require users to adhere to any given life-management philosophy.[2]
According to its author, Taskwarrior was created "to address layout and feature issues"[3] in the Todo.txt applications popularized by Gina Trapani.[4] The authors offer an accompanying tool called Timewarrior for tracking time spent on projects.[5] Configuration allows e. g. to define recurring breaks such as lunch time.[6] The documentation notes that "Timewarrior focuses on accurately recording time already spent, whereas Taskwarrior looks forward to work that is not yet done."[7]
Taskwarrior's source code is a free and open-source software and can be either compiled from source code to run on a variety of architectures and operating systems, or installed as a binary, which is available on many Linux distribution binary repositories.
Typical Workflow
Taskwarrior comprises three main commands: add, list, and done. All other functionality – recurrences, tags, priorities, etc. – are optional.
Adding a task
$ task add Pick up keys to the new apartment Created task 1.
Listing Tasks
$ task list ID Project Pri Due Active Age Description 1 4 secs Pick up keys to the new apartment 1 task
Marking a task as completed
$ task 1 done Completed 1 'Pick up keys to the new apartment'. Marked 1 task as done.
Creating a task with due dates, recurrences, and tags
$ task add Mow the lawn project:Lawnwork due:tomorrow recur:biweekly +home Created task 1.
Syncing
When used in conjunction with Taskserver, can sync tasks into the cloud, and indirectly with other clients/devices.[citation needed]
