User Guide

Roger is a desktop app for managing tasks, optimised for use via a Command Line Line Interface (CLI) while still having the benefits of a Graphical User Interface (GUI). If you are someone who can type fast, Roger can help you track your tasks faster than traditional GUI apps.

2. Download the jar file from the project website.
3. Copy the file to the folder you want to use as the home folder for the application.
