Its documentation centers on vim-like navigation, live filters, task add/delete/complete/log actions, multi-selection, tab completion, and reuse of Taskwarrior colors. The README documents an important compatibility transition: taskwarrior-tui v0.25.4 is the last release that supports Taskwarrior v2.x as a backend, while Taskwarrior v3.x may break features in unexpected ways. ### Adoption history The official repository metadata shows a few thousand stars and more than one hundred forks by 2026, and the input package metadata lists package-manager availability in Homebrew, Alpine, MacPorts, Nix, and Arch. That combination marks it as a widely noticed terminal companion in the Taskwarrior ecosystem rather than a one-off script. ### How it is used Users install taskwarrior-tui when they already keep tasks in Taskwarrior but want a persistent terminal interface for filtering, editing, completing, and reviewing tasks. The tool relies on Taskwarrior itself and uses Taskwarrior's .taskrc for configuration. ### Why package nerds care The package is notable because it packages a modern Rust TUI around a long-running Unix CLI. It appeals to package nerds who prefer terminal-native workflows but want discoverability and multi-select operations without leaving the Taskwarrior data model. ### Timeline - 2020: GitHub repository created. - 2021: Public GitHub releases were active by the v0.13 series. - 2026: v0.27.0 published, according to GitHub release metadata. ### Related projects - Taskwarrior is the required backend. - The README lists terminal/Rust ecosystem dependencies and related projects including ratatui, crossterm, rustyline, vit, and Taskchampion. ### Sources - - - - - input.source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
