Is there any todo utility that supports importing DStask yml database?

Could you maybe help me? Do you know of any such todo tool?

Or maybe DSTask supports exporting to some popular format?

There's probably nothing that can currently import a dstask database, but dstask is designed to make it very easy to extract data if you want to migrate away.

For YAML, the git repository that dstask uses is just a small hierarchy of yaml files, one per task -- check out the ~/.dstask git repository after making a few tasks.

For JSON, dstask will automatically output json if it thinks it isn't outputting into a terminal.

dstask show-resolved > resolved.json
dstask show-active > active.json

...will cover all bases.

PS: Dstask comes with another executable that an idempotently import from github issues and taskwarrior, too.
