ptask
is a GTK+ graphical user interface for managing tasks.
It is based on taskwarrior, a well-known and robust command line tasks manager.
Unlike taskwarrior
, it is possible to associate a note (long
description) to each task.
ptask
is licensed under the GPLv2 terms and should compile on any
modern GNU/Linux distribution.

on Ubuntu and derivates, the easiest way is to use the dedicated PPA:
