notez is a command-line task manager built in Rust without any external dependencies. It allows users to add, view, complete, and delete tasks using simple commands, storing data locally in a Tasks.txt file.

Features

• Zero dependencies (no clap, serde, or other crates)
• Simple text-based task storage
• Cross-platform compatible (as long as Rust is installed)

Getting Started

The compiled binary will be located at target/release/notez.

Usage

All task data is stored in Tasks.txt in the same directory as the binary.

Add Task

./notez add "Buy groceries"

List Tasks

./notez list

Sample Output:

1   [ ] Buy groceries
