tascli — Task and Record Tracking

tascli is a local CLI tool for tracking tasks and records. Data is stored in SQLite at ~/.local/share/tascli/tascli.db.

Task: something to be done, has a deadline and a status. Completing a task (done) automatically creates a record.
Record: a log entry of something that happened, has a timestamp. Records are append-only observations.
Category: optional grouping label for both tasks and records (-c).

Tasks

Add a task

tascli task "description"                        # due end of today
tascli task "description" friday                 # due this Friday
tascli task "description" "2026/03/20 3PM"       # due specific datetime
tascli task "description" -c work                # with category
tascli task "description" "Daily 9AM" -c work    # recurring task

Time strings: today, tomorrow, friday, eod, eom, eoy, 2026/03/20, 3PM, tomorrow 9AM, 2026/03/20 14:00

Recurring schedules: Daily 9AM, Weekly Monday 9AM, Weekly Monday-Friday 3PM, Monthly 1st 9AM, Yearly 7/4 12PM

List tasks

tascli list task                   # open tasks (default)
tascli list task today             # due today
tascli list task -c work           # by category
tascli list task -s all            # all statuses
tascli list task -s done           # completed tasks
tascli list task --search "text"   # search content
tascli list task --overdue         # show overdue tasks

Statuses: ongoing, done, cancelled, duplicate, suspended, pending, open, closed, all

Complete a task

tascli list task                        # get index first
tascli done 1                           # complete by index
tascli done 1 -c "optional comment"    # with comment

Update a task

tascli update 1 -t friday              # change deadline
tascli update 1 -c work                # change category
tascli update 1 -w "new description"   # replace content
tascli update 1 -a "appended note"     # append to content
tascli update 1 -s suspended           # change status

Delete

tascli list task -s all --search "text"   # find it first
yes | tascli delete 1                     # delete by index (yes skips confirmation)

Records

Add a record

tascli record "what happened"              # timestamped now
tascli record "what happened" -c feeding   # with category
tascli record "what happened" -t "2PM"     # at a specific time
tascli record "what happened" -t "yesterday 3PM"

List records

tascli list record                         # recent records
tascli list record -c feeding              # by category
tascli list record -d 7                    # last 7 days
tascli list record -s "yesterday" -e "today"   # time range
tascli list record --search "text"         # search content

Workflow

Search first: tascli list task --search "keyword" — check for duplicates before creating
Create if new: tascli task "do something" friday -c work
Fresh list before mutating: tascli list task — indexes are ephemeral and reset on each list, always re-list before done, update, or delete
Complete: tascli done <index> — this also creates a record automatically
Log directly: tascli record "observed something" -c work — for things without a prior task; search with tascli list record --search "keyword" first to avoid duplicate records
