Best alternatives to Worklog in 2026

Most task-tracking tools want you to create an account and store your notes on their servers. Worklog does the opposite: it's a small command-line tool that keeps everything — tasks, daily plans, dependencies between tasks — in one local database file on your own machine, so there's nothing to sign up for and nothing leaves your computer unless you choose to export it. It's a free, open-source (MIT) Python CLI tool installable via pipx or uv, storing data in a single SQLite file. It supports full-text and semantic search, JSON output and OpenAI embeddings integration for AI-agent readability, and structured task dependencies (blocking, splitting, cross-relations).
