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!
As an emacs user, have you considered org mode, with org-roam enabled? You can use source control to back it up or, use something like syncthings to move the files around.
org-mode itself is really good. i haven’t really studied emacs properly & is only using it as some sort of fancy notepad so I haven’t actually heard of org-roam until now xD. Thanks, will search for that!
