Under the Hood
Starts before you before you lose the idea
A single compiled Go binary with no runtime to warm up. Launch, capture the task, close.
Hands on Keyboard all the time
Every action is a keystroke. No mouse, no menus.
Nothing to install around it
One binary on your PATH and you're done. No daemon, no account, no sync service, no bloat...
Tested on myself, daily
I manage my actual work with it, including tascii's own roadmap. Rough edges get found the honest way.
In the Wild
Basic tasks in tascii : adding new tasks, viewing all tasks, viewing tasks due today
Tasks in more detail : priority, starting tasks, editing tasks ,viewing single task details,
Completing and clearing tasks in tascii : marking tasks as complete, clearing completed tasks, viewing completed tasks
