Environment Setup

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7 or higher
• pip or conda package manager

Installation

1. Clone or create the project directory

2. Install dependencies:

   Using pip:

   pip install PyQt5

   Using conda:

   conda install pyqt

   Alternatively, install from requirements.txt:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Run the application:

   python main.py

   Or if using python launcher:

   py main.py

Database

The application uses SQLite database (tasks.db). The database file will be automatically created in the project directory on first run.

Database Schema

CREATE TABLE tasks (
    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
    description TEXT NOT NULL,
    deadline TEXT,
    created_at TEXT NOT NULL,
    completed BOOLEAN DEFAULT 0,
    completed_at TEXT
);

   • Enter task description in the text field
   • Set a deadline (optional)
   • Click "Add Task" button

2. Completing a Task:

   • Select a task from the list
   • Click "Mark as Complete" button
   • Or double-click the task to toggle completion status

3. Deleting a Task:

   • Select a task from the list
   • Click "Delete Selected" button

4. Viewing Statistics:

   • Total, pending, and completed task counts are displayed at the bottom

Development Notes

• The UI is built with PyQt5
• Database operations are handled in database/db.py
• Task model is defined in models/task.py
• Main application logic is in ui/main_window.py

Future Enhancements

• Task categories/tags
• Priority levels
• Recurring tasks
• Notifications/reminders
• Export/import functionality
• Dark mode theme
