NOTE

NOTE - Simple & Fast note taking utility for the command line

I’m a simple man. When I get thoughts, I write them down. I don’t open another tab, enter incognito mode, log into my personal account then create a new note that get’s synced throughout all time and space. Hell, I don’t even leave the terminal. I just type note and start writing. note is a Simple & Fast note taking utility for the command line. Use the lightning-quick cli text editor you love and let note organize all your notes in the background.

The basics

Open a terminal and type note. Easy!

# Type "note" and be prompted for title
$ note
Enter title: Hello World
# Or faster with: note "Note Title"
$ note Hello World

Note format

Blank notes are opened in vim. Notes are written in markdown.
