Taskwarrior

Free, open-source command-line TODO list manager

About Taskwarrior

Taskwarrior is a free and open-source command-line tool for managing your to-do list from the terminal. It is flexible and fast, with powerful filtering, recurring tasks, due dates, priorities, projects, tags, and reporting, yet stays unobtrusive until needed. Data lives locally in plain storage you control. It suits developers and keyboard-driven users who want a scriptable, efficient task manager without a graphical interface or cloud account.
