I use `taskwarrior` every day and greatly enjoy it. There's a number of other terminal TODO management solutions that I've dabbled with but `taskwarrior` is just so feature rich and can be adapted to suit your workflow quite easily.

There's also `timewarrior`, which complements `taskwarrior` pretty well.

I'm not affiliated with the `taskwarrior` project, but I wanted to say that if you like the project and are interested in contributing, one way you can do so is by donating to their GitHub sponsors: https://github.com/sponsors/GothenburgBitFactory. For something that I use every day, I don't mind throwing a few bucks their way, and I figured others might feel similarly so I thought I'd share :)

PS - If you are interested in `taskwarrior`, you may also like `taskwarrior-tui`: https://github.com/kdheepak/taskwarrior-tui. It is a terminal user interface for `taskwarrior` that I built in my spare time. The goal is to have an auto-refreshed view of the output of `taskwarrior` where the presentation of the content is as closely styled to `taskwarrior` as practically possible with a "vim-like" interface to interact with `taskwarrior`.

Honestly, I just wish syncing was easier to setup than having to copy keys to my phone and other devices.

It is also difficult to collaborate with Taskwarrior and to integrate with calendars.

I really love the interface/data-structure, but have actually switched to JIRA, in support of trivial collaboration and cross-platform support.

Switching over to Taskwarrior has been on my TODO list for a while now. (Yes, fully aware of the irony.)

I currently use Tracks and one of the things that holds me back is I still like a good GUI interface to help visualise. I occasionally take a look at various offerings but find those I've surveyed a bit mediocre.

Yeah that was a pain point for me using it in the past. While the docs were pretty good to setup a server for it I recall it being quite technical. Other than that pretty slick TODO manager.

You aren't wrong. That said:

- The terminal UI is pretty usable. More so with the aid of a few custom shell aliases/functions to speed things eg. `wt` for `task add +work $argv` to make it faster to add work tasks.

- It's so extensible that I've found it easy enough to, for example, build my own little Übersicht widget to display my 5 most urgent tasks along the top of my screen all the time.

- https://wingtask.com/ is decent enough (no affiliation)
