Simpletask

(See in Spanish). Ver en Español.

Simpletask is based on the brilliant todo.txt by Gina Trapani. The goal of the application is to provide a tool to do GTD without providing an overwhelming amount of options. Even though Simpletask can be customised by a fairly large amount of settings, the defaults should be sane and require no change.

Simpletask can be used as a very simple todo list manager or as a more complex action manager for GTD or Manage Your Now.

Extensions

Simpletask supports the following todo.txt extensions:

  • Due date as due:YYYY-MM-DD
  • Start/threshold date as t:YYYY-MM-DD
  • Recurrence with rec:\+?[0-9]+[dwmyb] as described here but with a twist.
    • By default Simpletask will use the date of completion for recurring as described in the link. However if the rec includes a plus (e.g. rec:+2w), the date is determined from the original due or threshold date..
    • rec:1b will recur after 1 weekday (mnemonic business-day).
    • The format is described by a regular expression, so in words the syntax is rec: followed by an optional + then 1 or more numbers and then followed by one of day, week, month or year. For example rec:12d sets up a 12 day recurring task.
  • Hidden tasks with h:1, this allows dummy tasks with predefined lists and tags so that lists and tags will be available even if the last task with the tag/list is removed from todo.txt. These tasks will not be shown by default. You can temporarily display them from the Settings.
