Todoman¶
Todoman is a simple, standards-based, cli todo (aka: task) manager. Todos are stored into icalendar files, which means you can sync them via CalDAV using, for example, vdirsyncer.
Todoman is now part of the pimutils project, and is hosted at GitHub. The
original location at GitLab.com is still kept as a mirror.
Features¶
- Listing, editing and creating todos.
- Todos are read from individual ics files from the configured directory. This matches the vdir specification.
- There’s support for the most common TODO features for now (summary, description, location, due date and priority) for now.
- Todoman should run on any major operating system.
- Unsupported fields may not be shown but are never deleted or altered.
Planned Features¶
- Keep a SQL cache of all the entries, and update this only when the modification time of the ics files changes. This design is inspired (identical, really) to what khal does.
- Interactive mode. Including a list of todos, and easy selection for marking done and editing.
- Support for other icalendar fields which are not implemented yet.
- Customizable output format.
Pull requests and patches are welcome! 😉 Please report any issues on the project issue tracker.
Caveats¶
Priority granularity hasn’t been completely implemented yet. Icalendar supports priorities 1-9 or none. Todoman supports only none or 1 (highest).
Due dates are generally shown and editable as dates with no time component.
Support for the percent-completed attribute is incomplete. Todoman can only
mark todos as completed (100%), and will nor reflect nor allow editing for
values for percent > 0 ^ percent < 100.
