I use `taskwarrior` every day and greatly enjoy it. There's a number of other terminal TODO management solutions that I've dabbled with but `taskwarrior` is just so feature rich and can be adapted to suit your workflow quite easily.

There's also `timewarrior`, which complements `taskwarrior` pretty well.

I'm not affiliated with the `taskwarrior` project, but I wanted to say that if you like the project and are interested in contributing, one way you can do so is by donating to their GitHub sponsors: https://github.com/sponsors/GothenburgBitFactory. For something that I use every day, I don't mind throwing a few bucks their way, and I figured others might feel similarly so I thought I'd share :)

PS - If you are interested in `taskwarrior`, you may also like `taskwarrior-tui`: https://github.com/kdheepak/taskwarrior-tui. It is a terminal user interface for `taskwarrior` that I built in my spare time. The goal is to have an auto-refreshed view of the output of `taskwarrior` where the presentation of the content is as closely styled to `taskwarrior` as practically possible with a "vim-like" interface to interact with `taskwarrior`.

Honestly, I just wish syncing was easier to setup than having to copy keys to my phone and other devices.

Yeah that was a pain point for me using it in the past. While the docs were pretty good to setup a server for it I recall it being quite technical. Other than that pretty slick TODO manager.

It is also difficult to collaborate with Taskwarrior and to integrate with calendars.

I really love the interface/data-structure, but have actually switched to JIRA, in support of trivial collaboration and cross-platform support.

Years ago I went as far as to create a taskwarrior data folder under my university account, created some aliases to rsync it up and down through ssh and on my phone in a terminal emulator have it auto-sync down on bash login, and auto-sync up on exit, so that I can have it synced across my phone and laptop.

I've tried just about every task tracking/TODO software under the sun and I keep coming back to taskwarrior.^1

It just works, and it works so well.

[1]: For TODOs when I'm on my computer, mainly work stuff that can't be tracked in a Jira ticket or GitHub issue.
