Meghnaad
Taskwarrior 3 in your browser and on your phone. Meghnaad is another replica of your
Taskwarrior data: the task CLI keeps syncing to your bucket as it does today, and Meghnaad reads and writes the same
bucket. A task added here shows up on your laptop after task sync, and the other way round. Behaviour follows
Taskwarrior 3.5.0, command for command, and where it does not, that is a bug.
It is console-first: type task commands, with tables, forms, boards and charts beside them. Both ways of using it
run the same Rust command engine, so anything you can click you can type.
Two ways to use it
The web app
The engine runs in the page, as WebAssembly in a Web Worker, with your tasks saved in the browser. A small Worker on Cloudflare sits between the page and your bucket: it checks Cloudflare Access (the login), holds the encryption secret, and opens and seals the versions that pass through; it never parses a task. Your existing S3 or R2 bucket is the sync store. You deploy it to your own Cloudflare account, and the basic features run on Cloudflare’s free tier.
Start with Deploying, which has a Deploy to Cloudflare button, then read Using Meghnaad. It adapts to a phone’s screen too, with a menu for the pages and tasks as cards.
The Android app
A native app in Kotlin and Compose, with the same engine running on the phone. It works offline, keeps your keys in the Android Keystore, and syncs straight with your bucket over S3 (R2, AWS S3, MinIO, …) or with a TaskChampion sync server, so it needs no Worker and no Cloudflare Access. It does what the web app does, with a layout made for a phone, and two things a browser tab cannot: reminders that come with the app closed, and home-screen widgets (a task list for any report, a burndown, a calendar and a card of a board).
Download the APK from the latest release and read The Android app.
Both together
They are two replicas of the same bucket, so they stay in step with each other and with your task CLI. Settings and
hooks can be kept in step through the bucket as well (never the secrets).
Where to start
| Using Meghnaad | Pages, console, confirmations, boards, hooks, recurrence, urgency, time tracking |
| Deploying | Setup, GitHub Actions deploy, Access, connecting task, troubleshooting |
| The Android app | Install, connect, the widgets, sharing settings and hooks, building it |
| taskrc support | Every taskrc option: done, partial, not done |
| Architecture | The engine, sync, platform limits, how correctness is kept |
