Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?
I came up with a file format for time-tracking, which lets me store the data in plain-text files in a human-friendly notation. I also built a corresponding CLI tool for evaluating the files on the terminal.
I’ve been using it almost daily for the past couple of years, and so far it has served me quite well.

My productivity app is a never-ending .txt file
I love the idea of using plain text files for note taking and task tracking. As others have commented on specific tools and workflows that make this easy for them to stick with, I thought I'd add mine. I use textnote [0], which is a tool I built for exactly this workflow but is hopefully flexible enough to accommodate many of the similar processes mentioned here. It simply opens a plain text file in your terminal and provides lightweight tooling for tracking by date and rolling up previous notes into archives if desired.
Thanks for opening another great discussion of plain text note taking as a productivity tool!
