Introducing Jyn

- Joydev Team

Jyn is a personal task manager for the command line. It is designed for fast capture - when you think of something, jyn it down and keep working.

How it works

Jyn stores tasks as plain text in a Git-native format. No accounts, no syncing, no overhead. Just your tasks, versioned with Git.

jyn add "Review pull request JOY-00D3" --tag work
jyn add "Call Lisa" --tag personal --prio high
jyn ls
jyn done 1

That is the core loop: add tasks, list them, mark them done.

Relationship to Joy

Jyn shares its foundation with Joy through the joy-core library. You can use Jyn standalone for personal task management, or alongside Joy in a team project. They complement each other - Joy for structured project management, Jyn for quick personal todos.

What is coming

We are working on recurring tasks, CalDAV sync for calendar integration, and due date support. The goal is to keep Jyn fast and minimal while adding the features that matter for daily use.

Jyn is in beta and MIT-licensed. Check out the documentation to get started, or visit the GitHub repository for the source code.
