Taskman 2.4.0
Taskman is a standalone keyboard-first task manager for Markdown folders. No account or server is required.
Download and run
Choose the ZIP for your operating system and architecture and extract the entire archive. The native downloads include their runtime; Python does not need to be installed.
Windows:
.\taskman\taskman.exeYou can also double-click taskman/Taskman.cmd. On macOS or Linux, run ./taskman/taskman.
The welcome screen opens a folder browser. Ctrl+O opens another vault, and Ctrl+K → Open Vault does the same through the command menu. Enter an existing folder to use its Markdown files, or choose Set up & open after reviewing the files and folders that will be created.
Included
- Dark Teal default theme, live theme previews, Light and High contrast.
- A wrapping bottom shortcut bar, keyboard command search, task details, subtasks, notes, due dates, priorities, and projects.
- Safe folder setup, recent vaults, per-user preferences, and isolated undo history when switching folders.
- Immediate saves to Markdown and local diagnostic reports when an unexpected error occurs.
- Source installers, a Python wheel, and plain command-line operations for scripts and screen readers.
For a source installation, extract the source ZIP and run powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\install.ps1 on Windows or sh scripts/install.sh on macOS/Linux. This route requires Python 3.10+ and internet access.
SHA-256 checksums are included in SHA256SUMS.txt. Native builds are not code-signed. Your vaults and preferences remain separate from the application, so replacing the application folder does not replace your tasks.
