Everything you need to use Tycana effectively. If you haven’t installed yet, start at the Install page.

Quick Start

# Add a task
tycana add "Renew staging cert tomorrow @infra #urgent"

# See your tasks
tycana list

# See today's tasks
tycana list "today"

# Mark it done
tycana done "renew staging cert"

That’s it. Everything else builds on these four commands.
