FunBun

A minimalistic CLI to-do app for people who want to manage tasks with the least possible keystrokes.

Vibe-coded warning: The functionality was designed by a human, but the code was generated with AI assistance. This may manifest in unexpected ways, especially in environments different from the author's (macOS, zsh, Bun). Treat it as a starting point, not production software.

What this is

An opinionated, single-user to-do system that uses:

• Plain Markdown files (one line = one task)
• A Bun/TypeScript script for manipulation
• Single-letter shell aliases for speed

This tool works for one person. It reflects specific workflows and preferences. It is not designed to be configurable or to satisfy everyone.

Quick look

a           → show active tasks
b           → show backlog
a fix the thing → add task to active
c 3         → mark task 3 as complete
s           → show stats and streak

Requirements

• Bun installed
• zsh or bash

Setup

bun fun.ts init

This creates the task files and adds aliases to your shell config.

Forking this

This is a personal tool shared as-is. If you want to adapt it, here are known limitations you might address:

• Line number fragility — Task IDs are line numbers; any modification shifts them. Consider stable IDs.
• Alias collisions — Single letters (r, s, c, d) may conflict with other tools. Consider a prefix like t for task.
• No undo — Mistakes require manual file editing.
• Overloaded commands — s means stats or decompose; c means show or complete. Could be confusing.
• Shell detection — Assumes .zshrc/.bashrc; some systems use .zprofile or .bash_profile.
• Timezone handling — "Today" calculations may behave unexpectedly across timezones.
• No confirmation prompts — Destructive actions happen immediately.
