Noteo is a command line note-taking assistant which can be helpful in all 3 stages of note-taking:

• brainstorming (quickly adding notes)
• reviewing and refining notes (tagging, organizing notes in folders)
• searching for notes (using advanced filtering and sorting)

Installation

Download the release archive and extract the binary to your bin folder.

If your OS/arch is not available you can try to build it manually using Go:

go install github.com/elgopher/noteo

Demo

File format

Each note is a file in standard Markdown format with meta information provided in the beginning of the file in the form of YAML front matter

---
Created: Sat Sep  5 12:30:05 CEST 2020
Tags: space separated tags
---

Some Markdown content here.

Noteo extracts information from this header to filter out and sort notes. Some commands such as tag set and tag rm may update the header too. If the YAML front matter is missing, Noteo uses default values such as empty Tags or Created equal to file modification date.

Tag format

Each tag is a string without whitespaces (space, tab, new line), for example idea, task

Tag might have a special form of name:value, for example deadline:2020-09-30 or priority:1. Value can be a date or integer.
