Introducing Todoman

Inspired on memo and khal, todoman is a simple todo manager, (or task manager), designed to take note and keep track of pending tasks, that runs as a cli application on almost any Unix-like system (this includes Linux, BSD and probably other OSs from the Unix family).

Todoman is MIT licensed and saves tasks as icalendar, meaning you can use a CalDav-complaiant too to sync your calendar (for example, vdirsyncer). You can also then sync this to your mobile phone, tablet, or any other device with a CalDav-compliant client.

Todoman has a very simple usage:

todo
todo new
todo edit ID
todo show ID
todo done ID

And images are worth a thousand words:

Screenshot of the main view. — Sample output of running `todo`.

Exclamation marks indicate urgent (high priority) tasks. All the rest is pretty self-explanatory.

Screenshot of the edition view. — The todo edition screen; sample output of running `todo edit 1`.

The source code is available at its repository and a github mirror. Go ahead and try it now:

$ curl -L https://git.barrera.io/hobarrera/todoman/repository/archive.tar.gz\?ref\=v1.2.0 -o todoman.tar.gz
$ tar -xzf v1.1.0.tar.gz
$ cd todoman.git/

# python setup.py install

You’ll also need to copy and update the configuration file:

$ mkdir  ~/.config/todoman/
$ cp todoman.conf.sample ~/.config/todoman/todoman.conf
$ vim ~/.config/todoman/todoman.conf

There’s also already a package for ArchLinux.

Feedback is welcome, especially bug reports, which you can email, comment, or open a issue.
