an alternative: # .profile note () { echo $@ > ~/Backup/Notes/$( date '+%F_%H:%M:%S' ).txt; } usage example: ~$ note this is my new short note
I use a similar function in my bashrc. I keep notes on a daily basis with : function note { if [[ -z $1 ]]; then vim ~/my_notes/$(date '+%F').md; else echo -e $@ >> ~/my_notes/$(date '+%F').md; fi }
I'm using org mode (in particular, org capture) on my desktop and Orgzly on Android for active logging. For passive logging, I've got Orger, set of scripts that are pulling data from different APIs and render it as org-mode [1]. Having it as org-mode allows me for quick search and recall in the logs. There is also Memacs that uses similar approach [2]. 1. https://beepb00p.xyz/orger.html 2. https://github.com/novoid/M…
A few years ago I came to the conclusion that whenever I was struggling with an information task, the correct answer was org-mode. It's remarkable how I forget it over and over again. I'm using an iphone, do you have any suggestions about how to sync up entries made on the move?

If you don't mind a third party having access to your bank, you can use Plaid. Last I knew they supported free accounts with basic balance + transaction support and the first 100 accounts were free. I've definitely seen some home spun personal finance apps using Plaid for free.
>If you don't mind a third party having access to your bank, you can use Plaid I'm down with read only access. Full access.. Fk off But even that is a shit show. Eg a major card provider might push a api... But sorry not in your jurisdiction..not EU so you don't get EU benefits As best as I can tell not one of the half a dozen cards I carry can do a credible read only api of any sort
I've taken the odd approach of messaging myself in chat software.. in my case, I have "conversations" with myself in Telegram. I feel like I journal more when it's just text and unstructured, rather than, for instance, a detailed form. It's not exactly what you are looking for, but has some good properties: - Always easy to jump in to, since I use TG to chat with people all day long; works on all devices (I need to j…
- Create a private Twitter account
- Private Slack community/channel
- Private Keybase account (E2E encryption)
There are drawbacks with all these though because they are not specifically designed for logging but for fast social interaction over the web, it affects things like UI, security, readability, and searchability, the advantage is they already have a load of features as you outlined. A journaling app could learn a lot from the design patterns of low-friction social apps though.

This is great! I was using something similar before creating ZenJournal. Alternatively, you can also: - Create a private Twitter account - Private Slack community/channel - Private Keybase account (E2E encryption) There are drawbacks with all these though because they are not specifically designed for logging but for fast social interaction over the web, it affects things like UI, security, readability, and searchabi…
Somebody else already mentioned it, but emacs org-mode is what I use. I have a document in my dropbox with the cheeky name "life.org", in which I contain everything from my sleep log to my recipes to my work lab notebook. If you're like me, you have trouble sticking to journals/logs. I like having one collapsible document in outline form. I can remember it, and I come back to it. It works well with the natural chaos…

This is also how I do it. Then I can just occasionally use termux to sync notes up. That said, in the business world I have enjoyed the many features of evernote, but it's been a few years since I used it.

well, it makes for real simple backups... and you have magit right there just a C-x g away, too.
With git-auto-commit [0], you can define a hook that commits and pushes to a private repo every time you save your note. Set this up after a HDD crash wiped out 6 months worth of notes. [0] https://github.com/ryuslash/git-auto-commit-mode
