Todoman¶
The iCalendar format also supports saving tasks in form of VTODO
-entries,
with the same file extension as normal events: .ics
. Many CalDAV servers
support synchronizing tasks, vdirsyncer does too.
todoman is a CLI task manager supporting vdir. Its interface is
similar to the ones of Taskwarrior or the todo.txt CLI app. You can use
filesystem
with it.
Setting up vdirsyncer¶
For this tutorial we will use NextCloud.
Assuming a config like this:
[general]
status_path = "~/.vdirsyncer/status/"
[pair calendars]
conflict_resolution = "b wins"
a = "calendars_local"
b = "calendars_dav"
collections = ["from b"]
metadata = ["color", "displayname"]
[storage calendars_local]
type = "filesystem"
path = "~/.calendars/"
fileext = ".ics"
[storage calendars_dav]
type = "caldav"
url = "https://nextcloud.example.net/"
username = "..."
password = "..."
vdirsyncer sync
will then synchronize the calendars of your NextCloud
instance to subfolders of ~/.calendar/
.
Setting up todoman¶
Write this to ~/.config/todoman/config.py
:
path = "~/.calendars/*"
The glob pattern in path
will match all subfolders in ~/.calendars/
,
which is exactly the tasklists we want. Now you can use todoman
as
described in its documentation and run vdirsyncer sync
to synchronize the changes to NextCloud.
Other clients¶
The following client applications also synchronize over CalDAV:
The Tasks-app found on iOS
The Tasks-app for NextCloud’s web UI
