taskwarrior-tui is a terminal user interface for Taskwarrior, the command-line task management application. It provides an interactive way to organise and manage tasks without leaving the terminal.
The application uses Taskwarrior as its backend, working with the same task data and configuration. It is particularly useful for people who already use Taskwarrior but prefer navigating task lists, reviewing information and performing common operations through a keyboard-driven interface rather than entering individual commands.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Vim-like keyboard navigation with shortcuts for moving between tasks, scrolling through pages and jumping to specific entries.
- Live filtering updates the displayed tasks as filter expressions are entered.
- Add, edit, modify, duplicate, complete, log and delete tasks.
- Start and stop tasks, with support for undoing Taskwarrior operations.
- Select individual or multiple tasks for performing operations.
- Interactive menus for switching between Taskwarrior reports and contexts.
- Detailed task information panel with configurable visibility and placement.
- Tab completion and command history when entering filters and commands.
- Customisable report columns, labels and filters using Taskwarrior configuration settings.
- Colour-coded tasks reflecting Taskwarrior’s existing colour configuration, with additional interface styling options.
- Add annotations and toggle configurable tags on selected tasks.
- Calendar and timesheet views alongside the main task report.
- Customisable keyboard shortcuts, including support for executing user-defined scripts and shell commands.
- Configurable background commands for periodically executing tasks such as synchronisation.
- Mouse-wheel scrolling through task lists.
- Cross-platform support – runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
