etm provides an intuitive format for using plain text files to store data, a command line interface for viewing data in a variety of convenient ways and a GUI interface for both viewing and modifying data. Repetition and alerts are supported .
etm is an acronym for event and task manager. In contrast to most calendar/todo applications, creating items (events, tasks, and so forth) in etm does not require filling out fields in a form. Instead, items are created as free-form text entries using a simple, intuitive format and stored in plain text files. Both a graphic user interface based on Tkinter and a command line interface are provided.
