tascal 0.2.0

A terminal-based calendar note-taking app.

A Terminal Calendar Task App: TasCal

A lightweight terminal-based calendar app for writing and managing date-specific notes — powered by Python's curses module.

No mouse. No cloud. No distractions.

---

Features

• Interactive calendar interface (arrow key navigation)
• Add multiple notes to any date
• Modify or delete individual notes
• Past dates are locked (read-only)
• Local-only data storage (notes.json)
• Runs in any Unix-like terminal (Linux, macOS, WSL, SSH, etc.)

Why?

Most calendar and notes apps are over-engineered, visually bloated, and tethered to cloud ecosystems. This app is:

• Minimal
• Private
• Fast
• Ideal for developers, sysadmins, and minimalists

Use it in your terminal. On your laptop. On your server. On your Raspberry Pi.

How It Works
