tb (Taskbook) is a command-line task and note manager organized around boards. It provides a minimal interface for creating, organizing, and tracking tasks and notes directly from the terminal.
Items are organized into boards using the @boardname syntax. Tasks without a board assignment go to the default "My Board". Multiple boards can be assigned to a single item. The interface displays completion statistics showing pending, done, and note counts.
Tasks can have priorities (shown with different colors), be starred for emphasis, and marked as in-progress with the begin command. Deleted items are archived and can be restored. The timeline view groups items by creation date instead of boards.
Data is stored in JSON format at ~/.taskbook/storage. Configuration options can be set in ~/.taskbook.json.

Taskbook requires Node.js and npm for installation. The archive grows over time with deleted items; periodic manual cleanup may be needed. Board names are case-sensitive.

Taskbook was created by Klaus Sinani (klaudiosinani) and released on GitHub in 2018. Written in JavaScript for Node.js, it was designed to bring task management directly into the terminal workflow, emphasizing simplicity and a minimal learning curve.
