Thank you for taking a look at task. Task is a GTD utility with a multitude of
features, including:
- Robust C++ implementation
- Tags
- Recurring tasks
- Colorful, tabular output
- Reports, graphs
- Lots of commands
- Low-level API
- Abbreviations for all commands, options
- Annotated tasks
- Multi-user file locking
- Clean architecture allowing quick addition of new features
- Recurring tasks
It is intended that features, mainly in the form of reports will be added
frequently, with best practices and useful reports evolving from usage patterns.

- Abbreviations for all commands, options
- Complex filtering
- Custom user-defined reports
- Packaged binaries
- Flexible import capabilities
- Shadow file support
