Deepfocus
Deepfocus v2.0.0 — a productivity toolkit for managing tasks, plans, reviews, streaks, reminders, and more from the command line.
Commands
Run via: bash scripts/script.sh <command> [args]

plan <input> | Create or view plan entries for organizing your day/week. |
track <input> | Track progress on goals, habits, or tasks. |

version | Print the current version (deepfocus v2.0.0). |
Each data command (add, plan, track, etc.) works in two modes:
- With arguments: saves the input with a timestamp to its dedicated log file.
- Without arguments: displays the 20 most recent entries from that log.
Data Storage
All data is stored locally in ~/.local/share/deepfocus/:
- Each command has its own log file (e.g.,
add.log,plan.log,track.log) - Entries are saved in
timestamp|valueformat - A unified
history.logrecords all activity across commands - Export files are written to the same directory
Requirements
- Bash (standard system shell)
- No external dependencies — uses only coreutils (
date,wc,du,grep,tail,cat)
When to Use
- When you need to quickly add tasks, plans, or notes from the terminal
- To track daily habits and maintain productivity streaks
- For end-of-day or weekly reviews and reflections
- To set reminders and prioritize tasks without leaving the command line
- To search through past entries by keyword
- To export your productivity data for analysis or backup
- When you want a lightweight, file-based focus and task management system
