Love taskwarrior. Looking forward There's a great TUI; https://github.com/kdheepak/taskwarrior-tui I wish cross-device-sync was feasible, but it's pretty good.

> cross-device-sync This looks like an attempt at that? https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskserver

Deployment was quite complex for the target audience, due to requiring mutual TLS and thereby requiring the management of self signed key infra or a commercial TLS cert.

I LOVE taskwarrior but I feel any TODO software that can't easily be synced across devices is a nonstarter these days.

Sure I could throw the sqlite db in Dropbox or something, but there's no good way to manage the TODOs on a phone.

Every 6-12 months I'll give it another try and love it but feel it's just too limiting for most personal tasks.

I do like to use it for work tasks that aren't tracked in Jira...so stuff I generally only care about when I'm at a computer.

This looks pretty nice. I would need to dig in a bit to see if it supports showing only my next most important task and an alternate method of ordering to work for me. Based on the docs I did read, I bet it has this built in. I’m also curious about size.

I recently wrote a little about how I used Bash to hack together my own list.

I think, at this point, there are probably more task management tools that aren't Jira than there are users who don't want to use Jira.

I myself have a few; here's my entry into this particular category (c/line and written in bash): https://github.com/lelanthran/terminal-todo

I've had good success using Syncthing to keep my tasks in sync between my phone, laptop, desktop, etc. Point it at your Taskwarrior data folder and you're off.

Your bet is correct! These are considered `reports`. The default `task` view is called `next` (what are my next tasks), but there's plenty of others, plenty customization (sort order, filters, columns), for those built-in reports, and custom reports as well [1]

There IS an android implementation on the play store I think. I ended up just running task warrior on a VPS and shelling in though. But that UI sucks on a phone.
