Why you'd use it

  • Jump anywhere

    Press ; and every row gets a two-letter label. Type it and you're there.

  • Capture in one line

    friday, #calls and a note in brackets work here too.

  • The whole system

    Today, Someday, Waiting For, Review and Forecast, all in the terminal.

  • Answers for your scripts

    irkless today --count for a status bar, or JSON for anything else.

  • Works on the train

    Once it has synced, it can show your lists without a connection.
