Another important thing is, it stores your todos and metadata files in a directory called, ~/snippets, so make sure you have that directory. Although newer version of app, automatically checks for the directory. I put up lots of bug fixes, and a tab for viewing completed tasks too, So make sure you are using latest version. Thanks.

Version 1.0.2 of Swat App

Install it with:

sudo gem install swat-1.0.2.gem

Hey there,

Curse me for making this app if you will. But the truth is all the todo applications in GNU/Linux suck, then I thought ok, may be they do not suck enough. So, with some ruby skills at my disposal, I wrote a todo application in Gtk Ruby.

So whats swat?

Swat is a todo list manager for Gnome & Emacs.

Heck : Emacs?

Features:

• Manage your todos, add them according to priority and category.
• Move your todos to wish list, when not feeling like working on them.
• libtomboy bindings for global shortcut(Alt-F11).
• Nice stats for number of tasks finished and added.
• All your todos are in a .org file and hence can be managed from Emacs as well.
• System tray integration.

KeyBindings:

• Alt-F11 : from anywhere, brings the todo window to front.
• Esc : to dismiss todo window.
• Control-N : to add a todo.

Installation :

• sudo gem install swat
