This is similar in spirit to my app, TaskTXT (https://www.tasktxt.com). It's a plain text task manager which allows you to time your tasks, helping you avoid distraction. The timer data is stored right in the document.

I made a video about how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbGawb728xA

I used taskwarrior (https://taskwarrior.org/) for years and loved it but eventually stopped because of there was no way around having to manage a separate task manager on my phone. I follow GTD and it really demands that you be able to add tasks immediately so I would end up maintaining two lists. Not very effective so I went back to using Things.

Have you tried https://github.com/bgregos/foreground or https://github.com/theunraveler/taskwarrior-web

This has been my only issue with using Taskwarrior. There are a few android apps (the quality of which I cannot speak to) but not having an iOS app means I end up missing lots of things. https://github.com/blampe/taskwarrior-reminders was probably the closest I got, but it had some issues with some of my tasks. I miss having a single good place to put all my tasks.

Hi, I signed up for a subscription for syncing and was charged but now I can't access the subscription page (which means I couldn't cancel it or update it if I wanted to do that). Also the "Contact" link is broken at the bottom of the page. I really love the app, hoping this can be resolved :)

Ooh, this looks really cool. I feel like task management is something I haven't figured out how to do well yet. I might give this a tray.
