TaskMate

A Comprehensive Task Management System

TaskMate is a powerful and user-friendly task management system built with Java. It helps users manage their tasks efficiently, with features like task creation, editing, filtering, and completion. The application stores tasks in an SQLite database and supports both command-line and TUI-based interaction, making it flexible for different use cases.
