“Today, if you’re in need of a task manager application, you’re
looking at a category filled — perhaps even overfilled — with
options. If you carry a smartphone, you probably have a to-do list
app in your pocket already.

“Gone are the days when Linux users had to panic over finding a

due date or status of tasks and can highlight or hide your tasks
until their due time is reached.”
