Taskwarrior is an open-source cross platform command-line task management tool. It allows you to capture, annotate, manipulate and present your tasks, then sync them among devices.
SpecsUpdate
Pros
Pro Intuitive commands
Commands are simple to recall as they are written like natural language.
Pro Great for people who prefer to use the command line
The command line interface puts powerful filtering expressions, context, annotations, tags, due dates, reocurrence, and user-defined-attributes totally in your hands. It’s fast and low friction.
Pro Supports lots of date formats
All properties using dates can be specified in various formats.
Pro Command line interface allows piping from other tools
You can build scripts to take lines beginning with "Todo:" and pass the contents into Taskwarrior to programmatically generate tasks from meeting notes, for example.
Pro Tasks stored in text files
As such, they are very portable across different systems and devices as long as they can open a plaintext file.
Pro Sync across devices
When used in conjunction with the Taskserver, it can sync tasks (conflict-free) across your Taskwarrior devices. This includes integration with Mirakel.
Pro tasksh tool gives you an interactive Taskwarrior session
tasksh will run interactively and provides functionality like 'review', to go through all pending tasks and update them. Great for housekeeping.
Cons
Con Expertise needed to make the most of it
Benefitting from the more advanced features like synchronisation, plugins and extensions, or building integrations with other software, requires a lot of advanced skills on the command line.
Con Documentation is poor and maintainers are terse with feedback
Seeking assistance on IRC channel often results in "See the docs" whereas docs are incomplete, difficult to navigate.
Con Command line interface
A command line interface is a arguably overly verbose, consequently tedious, way to interact with a To Do list.
Con A desynchronised task database can be a nightmare to fix
Using sync services like InThe.AM is great, but occasionally tasks can get out of sync with the server. Ignoring it for even a bit fo time it can snowball into a mess between different machines.
