Task Manager (Go)

What it is

A task manager whose storage is plain markdown, one file per project. Tasks carry status, priority, category and complexity, support subtasks up to three levels deep, and stay readable in version control.

What you get

• A project created as its own markdown task file
• Tasks added with category, priority and dependencies on other tasks
• The projects you have, listed back
• Status tracked across todo, in progress, done and blocked
• Complex tasks broken into subtasks, recursively up to three levels

Requirements

Go 1.21 or later to build it. Tasks are written to a directory you choose — ./tasks unless the environment says otherwise — and it speaks stdio by default, or SSE if you set TRANSPORT.

Setup effort

Build from source — clone the repository and build it, then follow the project's own run instructions

Tools you get

5 tools named in the project's documentation.

Requires

• go on PATH

Where it runs

All 3 documented setups run the server on your machine.
