Taskbook For Linux

As we all know, context switching is one of the most detrimental things for our productivity. If your work revolves around the Terminal and the command-line, then you might want to check out Taskbook.

In short, Taskbook is a simple task organizer for the command line.

Think of Taskbook as a sort of Trello, but for the command-line. This means that you can now add and manage tasks, quickly take notes, and organize them in boards directly from the Terminal.

The whole premise of Taskbook is to be as accessible, as keyboard-friendly, and as fast as possible. It allows you to manage your tasks and notes across multiple broads directly from your favorite Terminal app.

Everything you write is automatically stored (autosave function), and deleted items can be archived and inspected, and restored at any moment's notice.

Taskbook might only be a tiny command-line app with a flat learning curve, but don't think that it's not at all flexible.

For example, the app is highly configurable through the taskbook.json file.  You can change various aspects, how the data is written, where the data is stored, as well as tweak various other little aspects.

The app allows you to organize tasks and notes using boards. The boards can be filtered, organize, and assigned various levels of priority. To get a list of all the available commands, simply open the Terminal and type "tb --help" or "taskbook --help."

Clearly, Taskbook is a niche app. Instead of appealing to a broad audience as a typical, hum-drum notes app, it takes the whole idea of organizing notes and tasks into boards and brings it to the Terminal.

That said, if your work mainly revolves around dealing with the Terminal, then Taskbook might just suit your needs.
