DayLog

Keep track of what you're doing when you do it and forget trying to write summaries at EOD. DayLog[^1] is a dead-simple tool for terminal enthusiasts for taking quick notes throughout your day. It helps you quickly edit date-stamped markdown files where you can take notes about what you're doing, or leave a note in tomorrow's log for your future self.

demo

Usage

To write or edit today's file, run daylog and today's log will be opened in $EDITOR.

To view today's file, run daylog show.

To interact with a past or future log supply a date (daylog show -- 2023/01/07), or a more casual realtive reference, "tomorrow", "yesterday", "1 day ago", etc.

Log storage

Logs are stored in $XDG_DATA_HOME/daylog. Use daylog info to print the exact directory.
