Assistant who handles your appointments, tasks and note-taking when you're away from your computer
Project description
What is it?
TODO: README needs polishing up. App is in early development, but became usable recently so I decided to backup it to github. Give it sometime - unless you want to develop it yourself.
“orgassist” is a bot - an assistant who handles your appointments, tasks and note-taking when you’re away from your computer. It can integrate multiple sources of notifications and use multiple different communication interfaces - by default XMPP.
It’s architected to be easily expandable, but by design handles: - org-mode directory structure with deadlines, scheduled tasks and agendas. - XMPP interface to read commands and send notifications. - FUTURE: other bot-interfaces: irc interface, email interface, web interface, android push-notification interface. - FUTURE: taking notes directly into the inbox file inside the org tree. - FUTURE: Outlook (OWA) calendar integration to get integrated notification stream.
But why?
Do you love your org-mode, but still struggle to get the agenda or notifications on your two mobile devices?
You have two org-mode trees - one for work, one for private planning?
And appointments in Outlook or Google Calendar?
And sticky notes or notepad to gather notes on the run?
Or maybe a mobile app to gather notes (orgzly?)
Taking notes on the run requires you to later integrate them?
You treat your org-mode as private notes and dislike keeping them decrypted everywhere, but at the same time would like to use it remotely?
I had most of those problems and decided this would be an elegant way to solve all of them without dropping org-mode or using cloud-sync solutions.
Plugins
OrgAssist is split into plugins with a well-defined API.
Calendar
Code originally developed in the org plugin, but extracted to allow sharing it’s functions between all plugins. In general, it handles a list of org-like “events” - dated (or not) tasks in various states (TODO, DONE, DELEGATED, etc.)
Can generate notifications for the incoming events and whole-day agendas to remind you what you’ve planned for today.
It’s considered a Core plugin as its existence is a depedency of other plugins.
Org
Reads org files and feeds events into the calendar. FUTURE: Allows you to change state of tasks, take a note into an org file, etc.
OWA
FUTURE: Planned plugin to integrate events from a corporate OWA calendar.
Shell
FUTURE: Execute a configured command when given a command. Enable/disable alarms, control music, etc.
Setup
FUTURE: pip3 install orgassist
Copy config.tmpl.yaml to ~/.org/assist.yml
$ orgassist –config [path to the config file]
