Taskwarrior is a command line app for managing your todo list. It’s lightweight, simple and fast. If you spend lot of time on terminal (as a developer or system administrator) then constantly switching to a web app or another GUI based todo app may not be very productive thing to do. In that case, you may want to try a simple command line application instead.
Taskwarrior has human-friendly natural command line syntax. You will also like its simplicity. I like how it doesn’t reinforce any particular methodology (whether you prefer GTD or something else, it doesn’t matter). Here is a simple command for adding a task :
task add Write an article about task due:tomorrow
Installing Taskwarrior in Ubuntu/Linux
If you’re using a GNU/Linux distribution such as Ubuntu, then it’s already there in your package repository (I’ve tested on Ubuntu 14.40 LTS) under the name ‘task‘.

For older version or other distributions you may want to download it from official site.
