minchin.jrnl is a simple journal application for the command line.
You can use it to easily create, search, and view journal entries. Journals are stored as human-readable plain text, and can also be encrypted using AES encryption.
To get help, submit an issue on Github.
To make a new entry, just enter
jrnl yesterday: Called in sick. Used the time to clean the house and write
my book.yesterday: is interpreted by minchin.jrnl as a timestamp. Everything
until the first sentence ending (either ., ?, or !) is interpreted
as the title, and the rest as the body. In your journal file, the result will
look like this:
[2012-03-29 09:00] Called in sick. Used the time to clean the house and write my book.
If you just call jrnl, you will be prompted to compose your entry - but you
can also configure minchin.jrnl to use your external editor.
pip install minchin.jrnl
(The above assumes you already have Python installed.)
