Personal Task Tracker

Project Overview

This particular Personal Task Tracker is a simple command-line tool that helps anybody using it organize and manage his/her daily tasks so as to keep a person up to date with his/her current tasks. You can add tasks with details, set priorities whether low, mid or high depending on the urgency of the task, and due dates, mark tasks as done, delete them, and even filter or sort your list. The app automatically archives tasks that are overdue by more than 30 days, to avoid being confused about the tasks. Everything is stored locally using a sqlite3.connect database, so your information stays on your computer.

Setup Instructions

1. Download the Project
   you can download this repository to your computer, but it would be nice if you ask for permission (just joking).

2. Install Python
   Make sure you have Python 3.12 or 3.7 anyone of your choice but i adivse using python 3.7 for this particular project because of the tabulate function, i think the new python interpreter like python 3.12 doesn't have tabulate function. Get Python here
