Batch Operations #

While Noteleaf doesn't have built-in bulk update commands, you can use shell scripting for batch operations:

Complete all tasks in a project:

noteleaf task list --project old-project --static | \
  awk '{print $1}' | \
  xargs -I {} noteleaf task done {}

Add tag to multiple tasks:

for id in 1 2 3 4 5; do
  noteleaf task update $id --add-tag urgent
done
