dstask is a single-binary, terminal-based TODO and note manager inspired by Taskwarrior. It stores tasks as YAML files and syncs via git, with a full markdown note page per task.
Use cases
- track my daily todos from the terminal
- sync tasks between machines without a server
- keep markdown notes and checklists attached to tasks
- replace taskwarrior without running taskserver
- manage personal tasks with contexts and tags
- import github issues into a local task list
When to choose
- you live in the terminal and want a fast, single-binary task manager
- you prefer git-based sync and undo over a dedicated sync server
- you want per-task markdown notes with checklists
- you need shell completion and an on-the-fly context system
When to avoid
- you need multi-user collaboration on shared tasks
- you prefer a GUI or web interface
- you are uncomfortable resolving occasional git merge conflicts
