Minimalist CLI task & time manager, written in Haskell.
🚧 A rewrite in Rust is planned current 2025, stay tuned! 🚧
Taskwarrior is a good and powerful CLI to track your tasks, but it requires time to configure it. The amount of features is giant, which can lead to confusion. Plus, if you also want to track your time, you need to install the Timewarrior plugin, which makes the configuration step even heavier.
In the other hand, Watson tracks well your time but can't tracks your tasks.
Unfog proposes an alternative solution that:
- is easy to install / configure / use
- can track your tasks AND your time
A task is composed of a description and an optionnal due time. It can be attached to a project. It can be started and stopped (to track time) and done or deleted (to track projects).
Basic reports can be generated to have an overview of your tasks and your projects. They allow you to determine how and where the time was spent, if projects fits their initial estimations…

While waiting for the Rust rewrite, you can use rlwrap to add these features:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Provides an interactive REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) for Unfog task manager.
# Features: command history, tab completion, and line editing. Commands are
# passed directly to unfog CLI.

trap 'rm -f "$completion_file"' EXIT
{
unfog --bash-completion-index 0;
printf 'help\n';
printf 'quit\n';
} >> "$completion_file"
unfog_repl() {
printf "Welcome to unfog REPL. Type 'quit' to exit.\n"
local cmd
while true; do
read -r cmd || break
[[ -z "$cmd" ]] && continue
case "$cmd" in
quit) break ;;
help) unfog --help | sed -n '/Available commands:/,$p' ;;
*) unfog $cmd ;;
esac
done
}
if ! command -v rlwrap >/dev/null 2>&1; then
printf 'Error: rlwrap is not installed. Please install it first.'
exit 1
