omm (short for “on-my-mind”) is a keyboard-driven task manager designed for the command line.
It focuses on a simple priority-based list that reflects the reality that most people concentrate on one task at a time while priorities shift throughout the day. The application provides an interactive terminal user interface (TUI) where tasks can be created, reordered, archived, and annotated without leaving the keyboard.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Keyboard-driven command-line task manager with an interactive terminal user interface.
- Priority-based task list allowing tasks to be moved up or down as priorities change.
- Create, update, archive, or permanently delete tasks directly from the interface.
- Separate lists for active tasks, archived tasks, bookmarks, and prefix selection.
- Context pane for storing detailed notes about tasks using a text editor.
- Task details pane displaying all metadata for the selected task.
- Task entry pane for quickly adding or editing task summaries.
- Support for prefixes in task summaries to visually categorise tasks.
- Bookmark detection for URLs present in task summaries or context.
