VIT (Visual Interactive Taskwarrior) is a full-screen terminal interface for Taskwarrior. It provides an interactive way to browse, manage and update tasks while retaining Taskwarrior’s underlying functionality and configuration.
The application is designed for users who prefer keyboard navigation. Its controls follow conventions familiar to Vim users, making it possible to move through task lists, inspect task information and issue commands without switching between different programs.
VIT does not maintain an independent task database. Instead, it acts as a frontend for Taskwarrior, allowing users to continue using their existing task data, reports and settings.
An important aspect of VIT is its customisation. Users can alter keybindings, change the presentation of task information and configure actions that invoke other programs. This makes it particularly useful for building a personalised task management workflow.
This is free and open source software.
