TaskWarrior and Evernote

Functional Programming in C++

Published by Ivan Čukić in the Other section, on 29 February 2016

For some time I used the Mirakel application to manage tasks on my phone and to synchronize it to the TaskWarrior on my main system. Unfortunately, Mirakel devs do not have the time to fix all the issues the application has with TW synchronization, so I’m unable to use it anymore. (yes, I could contribute to the app, but I’m not a fan of Android as a development platform)

I had to find an alternative - I needed just a one-way sync - to be able to create a note on the phone, and to have it pulled into TaskWarrior when I come home.

One of the (unfortunately not Free Software) services I’ve started using some time ago to collect clippings from the Web is Evernote. And it has a nice integration into Blackberry and Android.

I’ve decided to write a small script that pulls notes from Evernote that have a specific tag, and to put them into TaskWarrior.

The script does not have many features at the moment (it will get a few things more soon), but it works.

It can be found on github - https://github.com/ivan-cukic/taskwarrior-evernote

It's nice to need only one application, Evernote, to manage many things, but some days ago TaskWarrior released a official and open source Android client.

Why not use TaskWarrior for Android? Seems to be the logical choice if you use TaskWarrior on your desktop.

FYI: There is a 'new' Taskwarrior Android app: https://taskwarrior.org/news/news.20160225.html

Or termux, which has a taskwarrior package available for installation: http://termux.com

Thanks for the links. At first, I was following the android TW development, but had no idea they finally released it.

I don't see it supporting TaskWarrior, though it seems like a nice application.

The last time I used davdroid, it had quite a few *huge* problems.

Have you tried Zanshin? https://zanshin.kde.org/features/
I don't use ToDo managers, but AFAIK Zanshin works under KDEPIM, and despite I don't either use KDEPIM and all the Akonadi disaster (at least the 3 times I've tried it) I think it has cloud sync support (well, I least that's what I read some time ago, that support was being added).
I don't really know, but perhaps it's of you interest.

Best regards.

Zanshin is interesting, we'll see where Kevin plans to take it from here. I do use kdepim, but not any of its task applications because they do not fit me.

They have a big UI overhead while not providing all the things I got used to from taskwarrior. TW is simpler, usable from the terminal and, dare I say, cool. :)
