Taskwarrior is a command-line task manager that encourages you to organize your tasks effectively. It allows you to add, modify, prioritize, and track tasks with various attributes like due dates, projects, tags, and dependencies. It provides rich filtering and reporting capabilities to view tasks based on custom criteria.

Taskwarrior aims to be highly customizable and extensible through the use of hooks and extensions. It stores its data in plain text files, making it easy to backup and manage. It offers a powerful, yet flexible and efficient, way to organize and complete your tasks.

Taskwarrior's command-line interface can have a steep learning curve initially. Proper configuration and understanding of filtering syntax are required to fully utilize its capabilities.

Taskwarrior relies on a configuration file, typically located at ~/.taskrc. This file contains settings that customize the behavior of the application, such as default values for attributes, color schemes, and data directory location. You can modify this file directly or use the config command.

Filters allow you to select a subset of tasks based on specific criteria. They are used extensively in commands like list, next, and export to narrow down the scope of the operation. Filters are constructed using logical operators (AND, OR), parentheses, and attribute comparisons (e.g., project:Work AND due:

Taskwarrior supports synchronization with remote servers, allowing you to keep your tasks synchronized across multiple devices. This feature requires configuring a synchronization service and using the sync command.

Taskwarrior was created to provide a flexible and powerful task management solution for command-line users. It has been actively developed and maintained over the years, gaining popularity within the developer and productivity communities. Its design has been influenced by other command-line tools and task management methodologies, aiming to provide a balance between simplicity and feature richness. It's still actively maintained.
