I love taskwarrior so much on desktop, but hate it so much on mobile that I ended up switching to 2Do. It’s so heartbreaking because the automatic task prioritization you get is really novel and nice. But the iOS client situation is dire, and as much as I found it novel to have working sync and mobile with iSH, it just didn’t cut it for me.

It’s definitely my favorite task manager I can’t really use for this reason.

Self plug, I'm developing a minimal gui for Taskwarrior, focused on keyboard navigation. https://github.com/tmahmood/taskwarrior-web/ Task warrior is the my core of task management, as I've ADHD,I lost track of my task if it's not easily visible, this ui helps me with that. It shows timer for active task on the top. Future plan is to integrate time warrior too.

Thank you for posting. I’m of the same mind, so I appreciate you working on this publicly. I’ve bookmarked it to check it out next time I get frustrated haha (I have a “productivity things to try” bookmark folder)

You can give the binary a try. I tried to keep it really simple, and minimal.

Truth to be told, working on publicly is for selfish reasons (but nonetheless, it will make me very happy if it helps people)

I started a year and half ago, progress was extremely slow, I felt making it public would give me some push, besides improving my portfolio

Made a lot of progress once it was in the open, it did gave a positive push.

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.

I wouldn't call it "great". It crashed in 2 seconds (index out of bounds) on my Mac from going to the Calendar page and hitting j twice.

Just for comparison, I've had a couple crashes in about a year of daily use. Definitely less than IntelliJ or Chrome has crashed, but more than vim.

Bad form to recommend something else... But I had some of the same issues that people have described about synchronizing across multiple devices with notifications and all that jazz, and ended up landing on Amazing Marvin ( https://amazingmarvin.com/ ). It is the single, closest thing I've found to the same paradigm of Task Warrior's prioritization systems, and incredibly customizable, which is lovely to see as a web…

Do you know if this is still being actively developed? I looked at it a few months ago and was worried it looked like it was being abandoned.

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…

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.

I use this one [0] to run Taskwarrior on Android. It's abandonware but still works well enough for me. Enough for adding, removing, moving and ticking off tasks. I have the TaskWarrior server running on a VPS. Only works with the 2.x versions of TaskWarrior though as that is what is integrated in the app. Both the app and PC sync to the server instance with the Taskwarrior native sync functionality.

Would love to see some proper multi-device support in the latest release. The above setup works in itself. But the app is not being maintained anymore and Android as an OS has moved on. For example the launcher shortcuts for task filters stopped working with some Android update. And I guess Taskwarrior itself has moved on as well with v3. I'm not going to use it though as long as there is no multi-device support.

Oh well. So far I have not been bothered enough to have a go at making it work myself. There are probably as many flavours of Taskwarrior clients as there are users :)

Another shameless plug: git-task

Task manager or bug tracker that resides right within git repository and can sync with GitHub.

It's on a very early stage of development, but somehow works. I'd really appreciate any ideas on what can be done/improved (actually, a lot).

That's really unfair comparison. IntelliJ and Chrome are more complex piece of software.
