About:
Ultralist is a command-line task manager that implements the Getting Things Done (GTD) methodology. It allows developers to quickly capture, organize, and track tasks directly in the terminal without leaving their workflow. The tool focuses on speed and simplicity, offering a clean interface for managing complex projects.
Key Features:
  • Fast terminal-based interface
  • GTD workflow support (contexts, projects)
  • Due dates and scheduling
  • Filtering and sorting capabilities
  • Local storage for offline use
Use Cases:
  • Managing software development tasks from the terminal
  • Organizing personal projects using GTD methodology
  • Quick task capture during coding sessions
Alternatives:
  • taskwarrior – More complex with advanced features, steeper learning curve
  • todo.txt – Simpler plain-text format, less structured than GTD
  • watson – Focuses on time tracking rather than task management
