taskdog-ui

Command-line interface and terminal user interface for Taskdog task management system.

Overview

This package provides two user interfaces for Taskdog:

CLI (Command-Line Interface)

  • 30+ commands for task management
  • Rich terminal output with colors and formatting
  • Batch operations support
  • Export capabilities (JSON, CSV, Markdown)

TUI (Terminal User Interface)

  • Full-screen interactive interface powered by Textual
  • Real-time task table with filtering and search
  • Gantt chart visualization
  • Vi-style keyboard navigation
  • Modal dialogs for task creation and editing

Installation

Basic installation (CLI and TUI):

pip install taskdog-ui

With server support (includes taskdog-server):

pip install taskdog-ui[server]

For development:

pip install -e ".[dev]"

Prerequisites

IMPORTANT: The CLI and TUI require a running API server. All commands will fail without it.

1. Install the Server

# Server should be installed via workspace
cd /path/to/taskdog
make install

2. Start the Server

# Start the server (required before any CLI/TUI usage)
taskdog-server --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000

# Or use systemd for auto-start (recommended)
systemctl --user start taskdog-server
systemctl --user enable taskdog-server

3. Configure API Connection

Edit ~/.config/taskdog/cli.toml:

[api]
enabled = true
host = "127.0.0.1"
port = 8000

Or set environment variables:

export TASKDOG_API_HOST=127.0.0.1
export TASKDOG_API_PORT=8000

4. Verify Connection

# Test that CLI can connect to server
taskdog list

Usage

Note: All commands below require the server to be running (see Prerequisites above).

# Add a task
taskdog add "Implement feature" --priority 3
