Hello all. I’m looking for (a) program(s) to manage & document things in life. Mainly these features are what I need:
- Diary, random notes(like a wiki?) with version control
- TODO list, auto added to diary at that time period
- Ability to attach images and text files to those diary, notes
- Calendar with schedule synced with TODO
- Easy backup, preferably in plaintext or simple db
- Text search
Currently I’m using SeaMonkey and my phone(android) to manage calendar (so two separated ones), a paper note to write diaries and use dokuwiki for random notes. This setup is too complicated and isn’t productive at all.
I do think my requirements are kinda abstract, and there most likely isn’t a single program that can do all this. Although basic I’m a novice FreeBSD & Emacs+evil user so *nix-only or text-based utilities are okay. I’m not aware of any program that meets these needs, is there anything that resembles what I’m thinking? Thanks!
Thanks, though it isn’t open source (and no BSD support) it looks cool, I might try. I’m curious, is there a version control system available in it? Or would that be possible with a plugin?
Edit: Seems like it’s Electron based :/ Looks pretty good but that’s such a big con…
You can version control it yes. To your Electron point, personally I think it’s a very well put together app, it doesn’t at all feel like it’s Electron with usual sluggishness; it’s very responsive and quick.
I do not know enough about Electron, but I definitely notice slow startup on Oneplus Nord (2020). I even use different configs for desktop and mobile to disable some plugins on the phone and make it start faster. Still I think twice whether I want to look up sth in Obsidian in dynamic situations, like in a conversation - it just takes too long. However, once its up, is really snappy.
