What commandline tools do you use to take notes?


Hello

What cli tools do you use to capture your notes. For example, any vim packages that have improved your note taking process

I have been kind of unimpressed with vimwiki, so I used to just use my own folder structure for categories and create markdown/rst files for somewhat-formatted notes.

At the moment I'm using Zim wiki, which is a graphical program.

does "echo" count ? I do "echo mynote123 >> notes" occasionally when working with a codebase especially a novel one.

Then emacs org-mode for more structured notes.

I’ve used https://jrnl.sh/en/stable/ in the past and enjoyed it

Vanilla vim with Markdown syntax.

vim-wiki for cli notes.

Zim-wiki otherwise.
