Installation

pip install todoc

Requires Python 3.10+.

Optional extras

pip install todoc[macos]      # rich macOS notifications
pip install todoc[windows]    # Windows desktop notifications
pip install todoc[dev]        # pytest + dev tools

⚠️ macOS notification setup: After pip install todoc[macos]:

brew install terminal-notifier

Then go to System Settings → Notifications → terminal-notifier and enable notifications.

Quick Start

todoc add "Fix login bug" -p high --tags "#bug #backend"
todoc list
todoc done 1
todoc tui          # interactive dashboard
todoc help         # full reference
todoc -s           # compact command summary

All Commands

Usage

Adding tasks

todoc add "Buy groceries"
todoc add "Ship v2" -p critical
todoc add "Fix auth" -p high --tags "#bug due:fri @alice"

Priority levels:

Listing & filtering

todoc list                        # all tasks
todoc list --pending              # only unfinished
todoc list --completed            # only finished
todoc list -p high                # filter by priority
todoc list --by priority          # sort: critical → low
todoc list --by priority --desc   # reverse sort

Completing tasks

todoc done 3            # mark #3 done
todoc done 1 4 7        # bulk-complete three at once
todoc undone 3          # reopen #3

Editing tasks

Only passed flags are updated — everything else stays as-is.

todoc edit 3 -p critical
todoc edit 3 --tags "#urgent waiting-for-review"
todoc edit 3 -d "New description" -p high
todoc edit 3 --status doing
todoc edit 3 --tags ""            # clear a field

Subtasks

todoc subtask 1 "Write unit tests" -p medium
todoc subtask 1 "Update changelog" -p low
todoc show 1          # shows parent + all subtasks

Deleting a parent also removes all its subtasks.

Fuzzy Search

todoc search "auth"               # exact match
todoc search "lgin" --fuzzy       # finds "Fix login bug"
todoc search "shp v2" --fuzzy     # finds "Ship v2.0 release"

Kanban Board

todoc board                  # view all columns
todoc status 3 doing         # move #3 to In Progress
todoc status 3 done          # move #3 to Done
todoc status 3 todo          # move back to To Do

Interactive TUI

todoc tui    # requires: pip install textual

Statistics

todoc stats    # counts, progress bar, priority & status breakdowns

Removing tasks

todoc delete 5 --force     # delete immediately
todoc clear                # remove all completed tasks
todoc reset --force        # ⚠ wipe everything

Tip: Run todoc export -o backup.json before reset.

Export & Import

todoc export -o backup.json
todoc export --format csv -o tasks.csv
todoc import backup.json

Desktop Notifications

Notifications fire automatically at 4h, 6h, 9h, 12h, 18h, 24h for every pending task — no terminal needed.

todoc daemon start     # install & start (run once after install)
todoc daemon status    # check if running
todoc daemon stop      # uninstall
todoc notify           # fire manually right now

Logs: ~/.todoc/daemon.log

Notion Sync

Sync your tasks to a Notion page with todoc push and pull them back with todoc pull. Credentials are saved once and reused forever.

Setup (one time)

1. Go to notion.so/my-integrations → New integration → name it todoc → copy the Internal Integration Token
2. Open the Notion page you want to sync to → "..." menu → Connect to → select todoc
3. Copy the Page ID from the URL:

   notion.so/My-Page-abc123def456abc123def456abc12345
                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 32 chars
   

Usage

todoc push                 # sync local tasks → Notion
todoc pull                 # sync Notion tasks → local (backs up first)
todoc push --reset         # update saved credentials, then push
todoc notion-logout        # remove saved credentials

Note: todoc pull automatically backs up your local tasks to ~/.todoc/tasks_before_pull.json before overwriting.

Credentials are stored at ~/.todoc/notion_creds.json.

Help

todoc help              # full per-command reference with examples
todoc -s                # compact one-screen command summary
todoc <command> --help  # flag list for any single command

Data Storage

├── tasks.json
├── notion_creds.json       # saved after first todoc push / pull
├── tasks_before_pull.json  # auto-backup created before todoc pull

└── daemon-error.log

No accounts required for local use. Notion sync is opt-in.
