lifelog

A simple diary that you can use from your terminal.

Features

• Create one entry per day, in which you rate how your day went.
• Read/Update/Delete entries (this is just a simple CRUD app if you really think about it)
• View statistics for a given month (how many awesome/horrible days you had)
• Customization with a .toml file

Install

You can download an archived binary or use cargo to install lifelog:

cargo install lifelog

Alternatively, build from source:

cargo build --release

QA

Why rate specifically on a scale of -2 to +2?

Rating on this scale results in less biased ratings and normalizes having an average score of 0 (compared to the more popular '1 to 5' scale, where an average score of 3 is commonly considered bad). Heavily inspired by a blog post, which itself was inspired by another blog post.

How do I customize the look of the program?

The program will look for a theme.toml file on startup in the following paths:

• ~/AppData/Roaming/lifelog/theme/theme.toml (windows)
• ~/.local/share/lifelog/theme/theme.toml (everywhere else)

If it fails to find a file, it will just use the default theme. If it does find a file, but it proves to be invalid, the program will exit with an error. More info on customization available here.
