DESCRIPTION
topydo is a command-line task management tool written in Python. It allows users to organize and manage their tasks efficiently using a simple and intuitive interface. It focuses on simplicity, allowing you to quickly add, complete, and list tasks from your terminal. Topydo stores tasks in a plain text file (usually `~/.topydo`) making it easy to back up and integrate with other tools. The design philosophy prioritizes ease of use, providing essential features for task management without unnecessary complexity. You can manage priority, dates or contexts for a task.
It's a lightweight alternative to more feature-rich task management applications and is especially useful for users who prefer a command-line workflow.
CAVEATS
Topydo relies on a simple text file for storage, which might be susceptible to data loss if not backed up. It lacks advanced features like collaboration or synchronization across multiple devices.
CONFIGURATION
Topydo's behavior can be customized by editing the `~/.topydo` file. This file typically contains settings such as the task list location and default priority levels.
For example, you may want to store the file on Dropbox or Nextcloud and synchronize between several devices. In this case you can point the filelocation in the configuration file.
HISTORY
topydo is written in Python, offering a cross-platform solution for task management. The exact development timeline is not easily available, but it serves as an excellent small solution in Python for task management.
