TaskUI

A fast, keyboard-first terminal task manager built with Go, Bubble Tea, and SQLite.

What it does

TaskUI helps you manage personal tasks directly from the terminal with a clean TUI experience. You can organize tasks by category, quickly add or edit items, filter what you see, and keep everything stored locally in SQLite.

Features

• Persistent storage using SQLite
• Task categories to group related work
• Add, edit, delete, and toggle completion for tasks
• Filter tasks to focus on a specific category or subset
• Category manager for creating, renaming, and deleting categories
• Undo delete support for tasks and categories during the current session
• Create-more mode for rapidly adding multiple tasks in a row
• Keyboard-driven navigation for a fast, mouse-free workflow

Key bindings
