This plugin is a read-only Taskwarrior status widget. It runs local `task` queries via a small Bash helper, renders the output in the bar, and only launches a visible package-install terminal after an explicit left-click when a dependency is missing. No obfuscated code, persistence, credential access, or destructive behavior was found.

How this check works

This review combines the deterministic scan (the rule-based results above) with an independent look at the plugin's code by a language model. The model reads a trimmed sample of the repository's files, the manifest, and the README, then gives a plain-language risk level and a recommendation: install (no notable danger), review (look closer first), or avoid (clearly dangerous).

It runs on the same analyzed commit as the deterministic scan and is strictly advisory — it is not a security guarantee and never blocks a plugin by itself. A human moderator still reviews plugins before they are listed.

See Taskwarrior priorities without leaving your desktop

Omarchy Tasks keeps your next Taskwarrior priorities in the Omarchy bar. See due work at a glance, hover for an urgency-ranked list, and open taskwarrior-tui with one click.

Omarchy Tasks showing actionable Taskwarrior tasks in the Omarchy bar

Your tasks stay in Taskwarrior. The plugin reads them through the task command and stores no separate data.

Quick start

Install Taskwarrior and its terminal UI through Omarchy, then add the plugin:

omarchy pkg add task taskwarrior-tui
omarchy plugin add https://github.com/janhesters/omarchy-tasks.git --enable

The standard omarchy plugin add … --enable flow clones, validates, and enables the plugin but does not install system packages, so the marketplace marks this plugin as requiring manual setup. If you add the plugin first, left-click its warning icon to run the required Omarchy package installation in a visible terminal.

What you get

  • A red count for overdue tasks and tasks due today.
  • A standard count when pending work has no immediate deadline.
  • Up to 10 pending tasks in the tooltip, ranked by Taskwarrior urgency.
  • One-click access to taskwarrior-tui.
  • A right-click refresh and an IPC refresh command for scripts.
  • A guided install action when Taskwarrior or its TUI is missing.

Use and configure

  • Hover to see pending tasks ranked by urgency.
  • Left-click to open taskwarrior-tui.
  • Right-click to refresh now.

The plugin refreshes every 60 seconds by default. Change the interval or hide the empty-state icon in the Omarchy bar settings.

The widget starts in the center section. Move it with the standard Omarchy bar command:

omarchy bar move io.github.janhesters.tasks --section center --before omarchy.system-update

Scripts can request an immediate refresh after changing a task:

omarchy-shell io.github.janhesters.tasks refresh

Dependencies and privacy

  • task provides the Taskwarrior data.
  • taskwarrior-tui provides the terminal interface opened on left-click.
  • jq serializes the helper output and ships with Omarchy.

Normal task display is local and read-only. The plugin starts package installation only after you explicitly left-click a missing-dependency warning, in a visible terminal, and it may prompt for sudo.

Update or remove

omarchy plugin update io.github.janhesters.tasks
omarchy plugin remove io.github.janhesters.tasks

Removing the plugin leaves your Taskwarrior data untouched.

Omarchy 3 migration

Version 2 replaces the old Waybar module. It no longer edits Waybar CSS, installs a helper in ~/.local/bin, or adds a Hyprland keybinding. Keep your existing Taskwarrior data and follow the quick-start commands above.
