Sync Behavior
- Writes auto-sync:
add
, done
, edit
, delete
hit the API directly
- Reads use cache:
list
, today
, show
read from local cache
- Sync when needed: Use
--sync
flag or td sync
for fresh data
td sync # Incremental sync (fast)
td sync --full # Full rebuild if cache seems off

By project
td list -p "Inbox" --sync
td list -p "Work" --sync
High priority
