Taskwarrior Chained Recurrence Hook

Painlessly adds chained recurrence to Taskwarrior. Requires Python >= 3.8.

In the illustration above, task 26ccff69 is automatically created when task 90e414dl is completed. With the new task having the equivalent due and wait attributes, relative to it's own entry attribute.

It's common to have due or wait fall on a day boundary such as 23:59 or 00:00, this is usually because a named date such as eod or sod was used when creating the original task. If this is the case, new tasks will be created with the due and wait attributes automatically falling on the equivalent day boundaries. If this sounds convoluted, the "Usage" section below has a simple example.

Install

$ pip install chained-recurrence
$ chained-recurrence install

Usage

Create tasks as you usually would, adding chained:on:

$ task add chained:on 'hair cut'

When this task's status is changed to complete, a new one will be created.

The wait and due attributes can also be used, their date and time values will be updated in relation to the current date and time:

$ date
Mon  1 Jan 18:00:00 GMT 2024

$ task add chained:on wait:1d 'workout'
Created task 1.

$ date
Sat 20 Jan 09:00:00 GMT 2024

$ task 1 done
Completed task ab566e0f 'workout'.
Completed 1 task.
Creating new chained task.

The newly created chained task will have the following:

Named Dates

$ date
Mon  1 Jan 18:00:00 GMT 2024

$ task add chained:on wait:sod+1d due:eod+2d 'workout'
Created task 1.

$ date
Sat 20 Jan 09:00:00 GMT 2024

$ task 1 done
Completed task ab566e0f 'workout'.
Completed 1 task.
Creating new chained task.

The newly created chained task will have the following:

Uninstall

$ chained-recurrence uninstall
$ pip uninstall chained-recurrence
