Todo Planner#

Todo Planner v2.0.0 — a productivity toolkit for managing tasks, plans, and reviews from the command line. All data is stored locally in flat log files with timestamps, making it easy to review history, export records, and search across entries.

Commands#

Run scripts/script.sh <command> [args] to use.

Core Operations#

CommandDescriptionadd <input>Log an add entry (e.g. add a new task, note, or action item)plan <input>Log a plan entry (e.g. create a daily/weekly plan, set goals)track <input>Log a track entry (e.g. track progress on a task or project)review <input>Log a review entry (e.g. review completed tasks, reflect on progress)streak <input>Log a streak entry (e.g. record daily streaks, habit tracking)remind <input>Log a remind entry (e.g. set reminders, note follow-ups)prioritize <input>Log a prioritize entry (e.g. rank tasks, flag urgent items)archive <input>Log an archive entry (e.g. archive completed tasks, move to done)tag <input>Log a tag entry (e.g. tag tasks with categories or labels)timeline <input>Log a timeline entry (e.g. plot tasks on a timeline, milestones)report <input>Log a report entry (e.g. daily/weekly task summaries)weekly-review <input>Log a weekly-review entry (e.g. end-of-week retrospectives)

Each command without arguments shows the 20 most recent entries for that category.

Utility Commands#

Data Storage#

All data is persisted locally under ~/.local/share/todo-planner/:

• <command>.log — One log file per command (e.g. add.log, plan.log, track.log)
• history.log — Global activity log with timestamps for every operation
• export.<fmt> — Generated export files (json/csv/txt)

Each entry is stored as YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM|<input> (pipe-delimited). No external services, no API keys, no network calls — everything stays on your machine.

Requirements#

• Bash 4.0+ with set -euo pipefail
• Standard Unix utilities: date, wc, du, grep, tail, cat, sed, basename
• No external dependencies or packages required
• No API keys or accounts needed

When to Use#

1. Capturing tasks quickly — Use add to log new tasks as they come to mind, building a searchable backlog you can organize later with prioritize and tag
2. Planning your day or week — Use plan to create structured daily agendas, then track progress throughout the day as you complete items
3. Maintaining streaks and habits — Use streak to record daily consistency, then search to review your habit patterns over time
4. Running weekly retrospectives — Use weekly-review to log end-of-week reflections, then report to generate summaries of what was accomplished
5. Archiving and organizing — Use archive to move completed work out of active view, tag to categorize tasks, and timeline to visualize milestones
