DoMaster 🛠️

DoMaster is a robust, lightweight task manager built with Python and SQLite. It is designed for high-performance, keyboard-driven workflows to manage complex projects with task dependencies and detailed reporting.

Forever free & open DoMaster allows us to manage any infinite list of actionable-items either in the (1) present working directory, or in the (2) single GLOBAL database ... (*)

🌟NEW!

👉 Automatic TUI/GUI detection:

DoMaster

~ or ~

python -m domaster

👉 A new GUI:

TdDo

~ or ~

python -m domaster.tkdo

👉 A new database backup feature can now clone our GLOBAL database to another location.

🌟 STATUS

Good to go. Use the 'pip installer in the dist folder.

Here is a primer video.

Here is the 'vdoc for the new backup feature.

🌟 The GuiTui (TuiGui?) Experience

👉 Presently testing the "GuiTui" concept.

Here is a video on how to download the code and try the new G.U.I user interface where Tkinter is installed, yet preserve the T.U.I experience whenever its not.

To review the GuiTui concept:

✔️ Download & unzip the code.

✔️ Change to the parent directory of the domaster folder.

✔️ python -m domaster

~ or ~

✔️ python3 -m domaster

🌟 Features

• Local Persistence: Powered by an SQLite3 backend for rapid data access and reliability.
• Project-Centric: Organize tasks by project_name with integrated priority levels.
• Task Dependencies: Link tasks together using the next_task ID field.
• Smart Sync: Import CSV or Tab-Delimited files with automated conflict resolution; existing UUIDs are updated while new ones are inserted.
• Comprehensive Reporting:
  • Pending Report: HTML export grouped by project and ordered by priority.
  • Completion Report: HTML export grouped by date and ordered by completion time.
• Database Mobility: Built-in functions to dump, empty, and load database files with 2026-compliant timestamps.
• Database Backup: Supports on-demand and automatic on-exit GLOBAL database backups.

📊 Database Schema (Table: todo)

🚀 Installation

To avoid database pwd confusion, the best idea is to always use Python's package installer:

✔️ Download the wheels file.

✔️ Change to the 'dist' folder.

✔️ Then:

python -m pip install whatever.whl

~ then ~

python -m domaster

~ or ~

python -m domster.tkdo

🎓 Notes:

👉 The GLOBAL / PACKAGE database is the default.

👉 TUI-toggling the LOCAL database will put the same into wherever we choose to run python -m domaster ... !

👉 Both the HTML Reports & CSV Exports are ALWAYS put into the LOCAL (pwd) Db. (*)

Happy 'Spire-ring!

(*) and yes, with care we might even export from one Db to import into the other.
