How do you manage tasks from the command line?
Use Tasku to add, list, edit and complete tasks without leaving the terminal. Each command does one job and shows plain output.
Add a task with tasku add. List tasks with tasku list. Mark done when finished.
Group work with projects and categories. Set priorities and due dates so urgent work rises to the top.
Check progress with tasku stats. It shows totals, overdue items and breakdowns by status and priority.
