  • jrnl

    Collect your thoughts and notes without leaving the command line.

    Is this the correct link ?

    Nice idea. I like org-mode for ...nearly everything.... This looks good for the command line.

  • diarycli

    diaryman.sh as pip package

    Shameless plug on the same subject if you are vim user fond of terminal:

    https://github.com/Aperocky/diarycli

    `pip install diarycli`

    Alternatively there is a shell version if you are averse to python/pip package manager as well:

    https://github.com/Aperocky/diaryman/blob/master/diaryman.sh

    The only way I can get myself to write things down is to have it one commands away in the terminal.

  • diaryman

    Lazy (wo)man's CLI diary manager

  • devlogs

    Discontinued Project based logging with mirroring

    Built one of these as a ruby gem in case it's useful for others. I use as a dev log and mini issue tracker for projects where a project mgmt tool feels like overkill. It can sync to your local knowledge base (for me obsidian) if you want too. https://github.com/aquaflamingo/devlogs

  • nb

    CLI and local web plain text note‑taking, bookmarking, and archiving with linking, tagging, filtering, search, Git versioning & syncing, Pandoc conversion, + more, in a single portable script.

    A few tools I've come across that I've used.

    Doing [1] by Brett Terspstra; "A command line tool for keeping track of what you’re doing and tracking what you’ve done."

    NA [2] (Next Action) also by Brett Terpstra; "A command line tool for adding and listing per-project todos."

    nb [3] is "a command line and local web note‑taking, bookmarking, archiving, and knowledge base application"

    nb supports multiple notebooks, Git-based version control and a bunch of other things
