+# CLI Task Tracker
+
+CLI Task Tracker is a simple yet powerful command-line application designed to help you manage your tasks directly from your terminal. Built entirely in Python, the project uses only built-in modules (`json`, `sys`, and `datetime`), ensuring a lightweight solution with no external dependencies.

+## Overview
+Inspired by the [roadmap.sh Task Tracker](https://roadmap.sh/projects/task-tracker), this project provides 
+a hands-on experience for learning CLI application development. The tool is perfect for beginners looking to solidify
+their Python skills or advanced users who want a quick and efficient task management solution. 
+Importantly, it relies solely on Python’s built-in modules—`json`, `sys`, and `datetime`—
+which means you won't need to set up any additional dependencies to run it.
+
+## Features
+- **Task Management:** Easily add, update, and delete tasks.
+- **Status Tracking:** Mark tasks with statuses such as `todo`, `in-progress`, or `done` to reflect progress.
+- **Filtering Options:** List all tasks or filter them by their current status.
+- **Lightweight Persistence:** All tasks are stored in a local JSON file, preserving your data between sessions.
+- **Zero Dependencies:** Built purely with Python’s standard libraries (`json`, `sys`, and `datetime`), 
+resulting in a fast and easy-to-install tool.
+
+## Installation
+
+### Prerequisites
+- **Python Environment:** Ensure you have Python 3 installed on your system.
+No additional packages are required since only built-in modules are used.
+
+### Steps to Install
+1. **Clone the Repository:**
+   ``` bash
+   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/cli-task-tracker.git
+   cd cli-task-tracker
+   ```
+## Usage
+none
+
+## Task Data Structure
+Each task is stored in a JSON file with the following properties:
+- id: A unique identifier.
+- description: A brief description of the task that is manually typed by the user.
+- status: The current status (todo, in-progress, or done).
+- createdAt: Timestamp when the task was created.
+- updatedAt: Timestamp when the task was last updated or got a description.
+
+Example task record:
+``` json
+{
+  "id": 1,
+  "description": "Buy groceries",
+  "status": "todo",
+  "createdAt": "07-04-2025 15:19:48"",
+  "updatedAt": "07-04-2025 15:19:48"
+}
+```
