• Interactive prompts — arrow-key navigable menus when you omit an argument
• Rich output — clean, formatted tables via the rich library
• Filtering & sorting — slice your task list by status, category, priority, or date
• Import / export — move tasks between machines with JSON
• Reports — generate Markdown or HTML reports with one command
• Local first — SQLite-backed, zero-configuration, works offline

Installation

# uv (recommended)
uv tool install odot

# pipx
pipx install odot

# pip
pip install odot

Quick Start

odot init-db                          # create the local database
odot add "Buy groceries" -p 2 -c home # add a task
odot list                             # view all tasks
odot list --todo --sort priority      # open tasks, sorted by priority

The database defaults to ~/.odot/db.sqlite. Override with the ODOT_DB_PATH environment variable.

Usage
