Workwarrior.

Five tools, one profile, zero bleed. Workwarrior wraps TaskWarrior, TimeWarrior, JRNL, Hledger, and Bugwarrior into a single profile-based productivity system. 627 heuristic rules translate plain English into tool commands. Runs from the terminal, a browser, or both at once.

§ 01What it wrapsfive tools, fully isolated per profile

Tasks — TaskWarrior.

Projects, priorities, dependencies, tags, annotations. The best task manager ever built for the command line, now isolated per profile so work and personal never touch.

projects · priorities · dependencies

Time — TimeWarrior.

Start, stop, report. Gap detection flags missed intervals. Time logs live in the profile, not globally. Switch profiles and the clock switches with you.

tracking · reports · gap detection

Journal — JRNL.

Timestamped entries, searchable, encrypted at rest. The working diary for each context. What you wrote in the consulting journal stays in the consulting journal.

encrypted · searchable · per-profile

Ledger — Hledger.

Double-entry accounting, budgets, balance reports. Each profile has its own books. Run ww balance and see the numbers for this context only.

double-entry · budgets · plain text

Bugs — Bugwarrior.

Pull issues from GitHub, GitLab, and Jira into TaskWarrior. External issue trackers feed into the same task flow as everything else.

627 rules before the LLM.

Type what you mean in plain English. The heuristic engine pattern-matches against 627 compiled rules before optionally falling back to a local LLM. Fast, deterministic, auditable.
