taskbook
Tasks, boards & notes for the command-line habitat
Introduction
taskbook/tb is an open-source tool implemented in JavaScript by Klaudio Sinani. It's a command-line task, board, and note taking utility.
taskbook allows you to efficiently manage tasks and notes across multiple boards, all within your terminal, thanks to its simple and minimal syntax, and flat learning curve. All the data is atomically written to storage to prevent corruption, and it's never shared with any third party. Deleted entries are automatically archived, available to be inspected or restored anytime.
