Feels like a project covering some of the same ground as task warrior [0], which I've used on and off over the years. The main thing I've appreciated is integration with various tools - I had access in both vimwiki and the macOS task bar for a while which was nice - but all these tools miss the key thing that stops me using them all the time: integration with tools on my phone. It's great having cli access to tasks and in other places, but without ubiquity, given the way I work, it might well just be another place that ideas of tasks I need to do go to die.

Does it handle both recurring events and recurrence?

E.g. move the lawn every other week vs pay rent on the 17th every month. If I go a week overdue on rent I still need to pay the next on the 17th. If I go a week overdue on the lawn I don't need to mow again for two weeks, not one.

Looks great but a configurable date format to support the European standards of dd/MM/yyy would turn it into something I could actualy use

Also check out org-mode, which is emacs' own journaling and organization system!

What I dont like about computer todo or task lists is that they kind of describe you pretty well to prying eyes. As a privacy enthusiast im not that keen on having that info get out, especially with recall and possibly multiple other ai agents running around in the background looking through my stuff. I dont know what the solution to this is and Im not sure Linux will be free from this either in the future. Perhaps a disconnected linux box purely for todo lists that i manually ssh into to get access to? (but that would then be connected, hmm... perhaps through a physical firewall intermediary?)
