I use taskwarrior in combination with taskwiki and occasional taskwarrior-tui usage. Taskwiki allows me to store arbitrary notes in markdown files while keeping the relevant tasks list auto-generated and synchronized with data in the task tracker. It works really well together.

By my estimate, this projects seems to be old / stalled, not in active development. This notion is based on the lack of Python 3 support and the fact that majority of the activity in the forums happened in years 2006 - 2010.

EDIT: I was wrong, there is some activity in a different branch of the forum [1]. Last release almost two years ago.

I asked this question months ago (being based in Europe too) and the reply was that I will indeed have to pay my local VAT and import toll when receiving the product.

When I explicitly followed up with whether this means they will ship from China they followed up with saying that it is very likely, but not set in stone yet.

On the contrary, taskwiki provides two-way sync, so they will show up in your taskwiki lists. The feature is called Viewport, and it's a header enhanced with a taskwarrior filter:

Say you have all your work tasks tagged with 'work'. Then your taskwiki file might look like this

    This file contains all the work-relevant information.
    
    === My work tasks | +work ==
    * [ ] Implement feature X

After saving that file, you will see the task in taskwarrior as well (with the tag assigned).

If you subsequently do: $ task add +work Test feature X

The next time you open the taskwiki file, it will look like this(syncing happens when you open the file):

    This file contains all the work-relevant information.
    
    === My work tasks | +work ==
    * [ ] Implement feature X
    * [ ] Test feature X

The power of this setup is that you can add a task on your phone (i.e. when the idea hits you in the public transport), have it automatically sync over the taskserver to your desktop, and when you open the taskwiki file relevant to the project, the task is there!

Regarding the Anki import, this Vim plugin might be of interest:

Beware, highly experimental, and the documentation is lacking (reading the tests would be the best idea to get a feeling how the syntax works).

There are currently two android clients that I know of:

* https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kvj.taskw

* https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.taskwc2

Syncing happens via taskd server daemon [1], if you don't want to self host, kind people run public syncing servers:

* https://inthe.am/ (also provides web interface)

* https://freecinc.com/

While I never got on terms with orgmode, I cannot praise vimwiki high enough. It's intuitive and simple enough to not have very steep learning curve.

I use it with taskwiki [1] extension, which stores all the tasks in the awesome Taskwarrior [2] CLI task manager. With this, I have my tasks in my text files, searchable just a command away on the CLI or my mobile phone via the Android app.

For all plain-text file lovers out there, there's actually quite a good tool that combines both the power of plain text files (i.e. Markdown) and taskwarrior called taskwiki [1]. Provides the best of the both worlds to me, tasks in plain text files synced to TW -> synced to Taskserver -> synced to mobile app. I can also use all the power of Taskwarrior directly on the command line.
