imag is a PIM _helper_. We do not actually implement the PIM functionality, but Yes, imag is a rather ambitous project as it tries to reimplement functionality for several "personal information management aspects". It is a hobby project, keep that in mind. We try to use standards like vcard and icalendar whereever possible.
try to interface with existing PIM tools (via their API or via some standard
format they use, e.g. vcard) to make the data they manage _linkable_
and _queryable_ in an uniform way.
imag consists of _modules_ (e.g. `imag-notes`, `imag-tag`, `imag-view`), where imag consists of _modules_ (e.g. `imag-notes`, `imag-tag`, `imag-view`), where
each module covers one PIM aspect. each module covers one PIM aspect.
The initial approach is to use one PIM tool for one module.
So you can use `imag-todo` with [taskwarrior](https://taskwarrior.org/),
`imag-mail` with Maildirs and `imag-calendar` with
[icalendar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICalendar) files.
