YOKADID(1)

💖 YOKADID(1) — the manual page, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, buckle up, we're talking about yokadid, the commandline todo system glow-up that lives in your terminal and never lets you forget a thing. it's giving personal assistant but it's a daemon. periodt. ✨

🦋 NAME 🦋

yokadid — the commandline todo system that reminds you what's due, no cap 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

yokadid [options]...

that's it, that's the whole vibe. options go in, daemon comes out 🎀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like. yokadid is a Yokadi daemon whose whole entire job is to remind you about tasks that are due. that's it. that's her purpose. she's not doing anything else, she's just here to poke you about your to-do list 🫶

and if you want to be automatically reminded of due tasks? yeah, you want the Yokadi daemon. obviously. the Yokadi daemon can be launched via desktop autostart services, which is the fancy way of saying "she starts herself when you log in, you don't have to think about it."

in most desktop environments, literally all you gotta do is create a symbolic link to yokadid (or a shell script that calls it) in $HOME/.config/autostart/. that's the whole trick. iconique.

ln -s `which yokadid` $HOME/.config/autostart/

note bestie: that ln -s line is verbatim from the manpage, so keep the backticks around which yokadid exactly as they are — your shell is doing the work there, not me 💀

👑 OPTIONS 👑

these programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (-). a summary of options is included below, because of course we're gonna list every single one, we don't skip 💖

• --datadir=<DIR> — the database directory. tell her where your database lives, she'll respect it 🗂️
• -k, --kill — kill the Yokadi Daemon. yes, actually kill it. and heads up: you can specify the database with -db if you run multiple Yokadids, because of course you might be running a whole squad of them 💀
• -f, --foreground — don't fork to the background. useful for debug. basically "stay here and let me watch you work" energy 🔍
• -h, --help — show a summary of options and exit. the classic. the icon. the "help me bestie" flag 🎀
