Introduction

The Yokadi Concept

Yokadi is a todo list tool. It helps you organize all the things you have to do and you must not forget. Yokadi is a command line tool. It works in terminal or shell. It aims to be simple, intuitive and very efficient.
The most simple item in Yokadi is a task. Tasks have title, description, due date and keywords. Keywords can be any word that help you to find and sort your tasks.
Tasks can be grouped into projects to help you organize your work. A project naming convention can help you to organize subprojects.

How it works

Yokadi is written in Python and stores your tasks in an sqlite database. An sqlite database is a single file that you can copy and move easily (by mail, or usb key for example).

Yokadi Installation

Prerequisite

  • Unix or Linux system. MacOSX should work but have not been tested. Sorry, Windows is not supported for the moment.
  • Python 2.4 or higher
  • Sqlite module (included in Python since 2.5 release)
  • SQLObject 0.9 or 0.10

Getting Yokadi

Yokadi has not been released yet, but it is fully usable. Get the source with Git :

git clone git://github.com/agateau/yokadi.git

Install Yokadi

You can put the Yokadi directory where you want. This will not affect Yokadi. You don’t need write access to Yokadi directory.
If you want to make Yokadi available for all system users, put it in a place where everyone can read (/usr/local/yokadi for example).

To start Yokadi, just launch the yokadi script. Example :

/usr/local/yokadi/yokadi

To do this easily, see the Yokadi integration section below.
