It’s easy to parse and just needs a command line app run by the OS scheduler that sends an email with today’s agenda. It doesn’t give me reminder, so I need a helper app to find things due today and alert me.\td – Toggle Done – – Toggle Canceled – – Show Context Just for fun, here are some Taskpaper vim commands. And flexible enough for just about anything. Taskpaper’s file format already has a Vim plugin at work. There is a TaskPaper for iOS that syncs to Dropbox. But I had to carry that file around on a thumb drive. I could use the same todo file both at work and at home. I’ve even used it as an example in a DSL talk I once gave. It was really cool, because it used a plain text file that is human readable and stupid easy to parse. I tried TaskPaper from HogBay software shortly after getting my first Mac. But it misses out because I can’t use it on my computer at work. It has recurrence, long notes, and notifications. It’s great, because I always have my iPhone in my hand. It didn’t handle long notes, nor electronic notes. Using a Hipster PDA, I had to make sure I had it with me. I’ve tried a few systems that worked fairly well, but there were always some catches. This loosely mimics the way Things and GTD works, but There's More Than One Way To Do It.I’ve been trying for years to find the ‘one true way’ to capture all my todos and notes and stuff. That way, I can easily move tasks from the NEXT section to TODAY, where they will serve as the most important tasks of the day. Within each file, I have 3 TaskPaper projects: TODAY, NEXT, and SOMEDAY. I used files in TaskPaper to replicate 'Areas of Responsibility' - one file for life, one file for work, etc. On TaskPaper for iOS, Link your Dropbox tasks file/folder Put your tasks file (.taskpaper extension) on Dropbox Use vim-fu to format your tasks according to TaskPaper syntax Grab taskpaper.vim using Vundle (or whatever bundle manager / process you use)Įxport your tasks from Things (you can use the 'Print' feature and copy/paste into Vim) For those tasks, I settled on using Reminders.app and iCal.app, and so far, the trade off is worth it. The only things missing for me in this setup are repeating and scheduled tasks (servicing car, mowing lawn, etc), which TaskPaper doesn't support. ![]() I've been trying this setup for the last few hours and I really like it. This means that you can manage your tasks using Vim (and taskpaper.vim) on the desktop, and TaskPaper.app on your iOS device, with the exact same database. But recently, a new version was released with Dropbox sync. I first looked into this option a while back, but dismissed it because TaskPaper for iOS lacked good sync support. TaskPaper uses a plain text format that can be edited with Vim. Now, none of Mac/iOS alternatives appeal to me, except TaskPaper. So I actually tried the Things Cloud Sync beta this morning, and it looks OK, but I'm not entirely happy:ġ- There's no way to export your tasks into the beta version,Ģ- I was holding out hope for an easy and usable way to manage my tasks with Vim on the desktop and a native app on the iPhone.ģ- After keeping us hanging for so long, I'm somewhat disgruntled with Cultured Code. I also don't like some of the usability decisions for the iPhone app. The problem I do have is the absence of cloud sync, which means you can't easily have your tasks on both the desktop and iOS clients. I love the desktop version and have no problems with it. And please those of you who deign to grace us with your vim wisdom - be kind.
