We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works."—Douglas Adams
Too busy? Tired of bloated apps full of unfulfilled promises?
A simple, uncluttered task/todo manager, based on the Taskpaper concept. All your precious data is stored in plain text files, using a very logical wiki-like syntax. Tasks can be quickly added, deleted, archived, sorted, filtered, searched and tagged. Very fast, very focused. Browser-based, including tiny, portable, local server.
Check out the help file and get a good idea of what sprightly, little Taskpaper+ can do for you and your tasks.
Or better still: try a demo here
If you like Taskpaper+ and would like to show a little tangible appreciation, then feel free to donate whatever your little heart moves you to do!
Grabbing a pencil and paper, scribbling down a list of things to do, then (hopefully) ticking them off throughout the day is such a everyday process for most of us... so Taskpaper+ was written to work the same way——to make task management on your computer as quick, easy, and intuitive as a pencil and paper! This is a program that tries its best to keep out of your way, and lets you focus on the important thing: getting stuff finished.
However don't let the uncluttered, understated, interface fool you... Taskpaper+ goes far beyond paper: it also allows you to search, filter, group, and manage your tasks to your heart's content, without handfuls of dialog boxes and menus, zing and bling, fluff and pazzazz. After all if its not quicker than paper then why bother!
It's a portable browser-based todo program (i.e. it runs in a web browser; however it doesn't need an internet connection--it uses its own local webserver). Under the skin your precious task lists are saved in plain text files written in a clear, logical way. It'll take you just a few minutes to feel comfortable; just in case you forget the syntax there's a little cheatsheet at the bottom of the editing page. If you've ever used a wiki then think of it as wiki-for-tasks.
Tasks can also be created and edited directly in the text file, either directly in your browser or in fact in any text editor of your choice. So your data is not locked up into some invisible database or human (un)readable XML format; because ultimately "all your tasks are belong you", its just plain text: readable, open-able, viewable, usable...anywhere!
- Quick, easy task creation and filtering
- GTD style task management is also possible: Next Action, Waiting, Maybe, etc...
- Your data is stored in plain text files. So you can edit your task list files using any editor if you wish, copy, paste, even put the files under revision control if that's your thing!
- Double-click any task to edit it right there on the page--no distracting dialog boxes
- Tasks are written using a using a simple wiki-like syntax, believe me it's quick!
- Tasks can have unlimited tags, dates, and notes
- One click to group tasks by Topic or Tag
- Google style search box: search for multiple words, excluded words, tags, dates, and also special commands
- Drag and drop your tasks and projects to sort them
- Tasks can be quickly added directly in search box too!
- Prints as a clean, clear task list for daily use
- Plain vanilla PHP5/Javascript application, should run on any Apache/Nginx server with PHP5 enabled
(Proviso: sorry it's Firefox|Chrome|Opera only, just haven't had time or inclination to fight with IE's idiosyncrasies yet...)
Please use the [issue tracker](https://github.com/MrBertie/taskpaperplus/issues issue tracker) if you find bugs, problems or have suggestion for enhancements, etc... I check it regularly and try my best to reply to all questions and resolve any problems as soon as reasonably possible. Your help often greatly improves the program, so keep them comments coming...
(I understand German and French also so feel free to comment in those languages if it is your preference)
This is a PHP5 web application, and to make life really easy there's a version that comes with its own webserver--currently a small Nginx web server; but it's been tested on Uniform Server, XAMPPLite and MOWES servers if that's your preference. It basically needs Apache2 or Nginx, and PHP5 (not PHP4 sorry!, it's very object oriented code...) and does not need a database (everything is stored in human-readable plain text files).
Simple install: go to the stand-alone server version page and follow the instructions.
Open Firefox/Chrome/Opera and navigate to the http://localhost/taskpaper. We should be good to go!
Check out the Help and FAQ files, which are included with the application (in the footer at the bottom), for full details--it's worth a read believe me, much of the functionality is not immediately obvious: you could be missing a really useful feature that you never knew about. Go on, Read The Manual... its worth it!
