history
Project history and usage
diary is a text-based journaling program that stores entries as date-named text files and can import, export, and synchronize calendar entries.
Project history
The official manual documents a terminal journaling workflow driven by a diary directory, an optional XDG configuration file, and editor integration.
Adoption history
The supplied Homebrew facts identify diary as packaged for Homebrew with an MIT license and the official homepage at diary.p0c.ch.
How it is used
Users navigate days in the terminal, edit entries with their configured editor, import or export .ics files, and optionally sync entries to CalDAV.
Why package nerds care
It is package-manager friendly because it is a small terminal utility with XDG-style configuration, plain text journal storage, and optional CalDAV integration.
Timeline
- Current: Official manual documents XDG config, DIARY_DIR storage, .ics import/export, and CalDAV sync.
Related projects
- CalDAV clients, terminal diaries, plain-text journaling tools, calendar import/export tools.
