Akiv, the hyper minimalistic daily planner

Akiv helps you and keep a list of tasks to be done during the day. When presented with a choice between a feature and simplicity, we choose simplicity.

Akiv is so simple its usefulness is doubtful.

Usage

Akiv works on an ordered list of tasks for the day. Note that all operations are applied to the list of tasks for the current day. At the end of every day (taking into account your local time zone) a new lists of tasks starts.

Using akiv generally means:

• Adding new tasks.
• Moving to the current task to the next.
• Consulting the list of tasks.

Adding tasks

akiv add "Finish writing the README" "20 minutes"

1. Finish writing the README (20m)

akiv add Adds a new task at the end of the list. It takes two mandatory parameters: a description and an estimated time to complete (see valid duration strings).

You can also add a task at a given position, using the -a parameter.

Listing tasks

akiv list

Prints the current list of tasks.

The following fields are printed:

• id the position of the task, which can be also used as an identifier for certain operations.
• task the task's description.
• started at the time at which the user started working on the task.
• exp. duration the estimated time to complete the task.
• ellapsed time spent working on the task (not counting pauses).
• exp. end time the expected time at which the task es expected to be done.
• pause time total duration of the pauses taken during this task.

Start / Stop

At any time the user is either working or not working on her tasks. akiv start and akiv stop switch from one state to the other. Notice that the user is not working by default, you need to explicitely start working after adding some tasks.

If no task has been started, start will also set the first not started task in the list as the active task. The active task is displayed in bright green.

If however the user is not working, it will be purple.

Next

When the user finishes a task, akiv next moves to the next task. Already done tasks are displayed in regular green.
