kyo

A keyboard-driven work tracking app. Three columns — Backlog, Today, Upcoming — managed entirely via the keyboard.

Features

• Three-column layout: Backlog, Today, and auto-generated Upcoming view for cards with due dates
• Keyboard-first: navigate, reorder, move, edit, archive, and mark done entirely via shortcuts
• Score: cards carried over at End of Day gain a score — backlog sorts by priority
• Command palette (⌘K): search cards by name, trigger End of Day
• Markdown: card content renders as rich text with preview in the editor
• Tag autocomplete: suggests existing tags as you type
• SQLite backend with versioned migrations

brew tap ruaylabs/tap
