I want to keep track of monthly (or quarterly, or whatever) bills that
recur. Assume it's Jan 1st and you have three bills due this month. You
look at your task list and see the three bills along with the date
they're due. You pay bill A and check off the task for that bill. Now
you look at your task list and see 2 bills still due in January and one
due in February. Pretty simple and logical way to keep track of monthly
bills or other tasks that need to be done regularly, but haven't found
any Linux apps that can handle this task. Anyone have any
I have been using the "remind" program for years. It takes input in text files
and can generate task lists, text calendars for email, or HTML calendars to your
web size. It handles things like "first tuesday after the first monday", the
bizarre rules about when US holidays have been moved to make three day weekend
and remove historical significance, and the like.
Also does differences, so you can print not only the birthday of kids but their
age this year, anniversaries, last friday in the quarter, Easter, whatever. And
you can generate documentation or actually execute programs, which is also handy.
