Features
Help
A message containing a useful list of commands and instructions in case you need any help. The help message is sent on initial start and when requested by the user via the help command.
Find Free Times
This handy feature allows you to look up the nearest block of free time in your busy schedule. Simply type in free followed by the number of hours you require.
For example, free 2 prompts UwU TaskMaster to search for the nearest time interval in which you have 2 hours to spare.
See All Tasks
You can view all the events, to-dos and deadlines by using the list command.
Add New Tasks
You can add new tasks quickly by using the following commands.
- Add a to-do:
to-do [name of to-do] - Add a deadline:
deadline [name of deadline] /by [dd/mm/yyyy HH:mm] - Add an event:
event [name of event] /from [dd/mm/yyyy HH:mm] /to [dd/mm/yyyy HH:mm]
Delete Tasks
Each task in your list has a unique index which identifies it. Tasks can be deleted by simply entering delete followed by the index of the task you would like to delete.
For example, delete 1 deletes the first task in the list.
Search for Tasks
Have an endless list of tasks that you can’t be bothered to sieve through? Simply type in find followed by the search keyword and UwU TaskMaster will return you the tasks with names which contain or match the keyword you search for.
For example, find pla will return the following filtered list of tasks from a larger list:
- DEADLINE water plants (By March 12 2023 2:00pm)[]
- TO-DO buy plates (By March 15 2023 10:00am)[]
Data Persistence
UwU TaskMaster writes all tasks to a .txt file in your application directory under a folder called userData. This allows the bot to remember all your tasks on the next start up, so you do not have to worry about forgetting!
Mark Tasks as Complete/Incomplete
You can mark tasks as completed by the command mark followed by the index of the task you would like to mark as completed.
For example, mark 3 will cause the checkbox beside the task to change from [] to [X], indicating that the task has been marked as completed. Similarly, a task is marked as incomplete or “undone” if the unmark command is used instead.
