A platform independent command line note app.
Cnote is suitable for rapidly taking and getting note of plain text of tens of words.
With cnote, you can conveniently manage note in command line. You can install a drop-down terminal like Yakuake, so you can instantly call the terminal with a shortcut.
Cnote supports backup and restoring from backup, you can also import notes from backup of others.
Cnote stores all data in a embedded database goleveldb, an implementation of the LevelDB key/value database in the Go programming language. The path of database files is ~/.cnote/
in *nix operating system and C:\Users\Administrator\.cnote\
in Windows 7 for example.
No. Thanks for golang and goleveldb.
Cnote is only an executable binary file without any data or configure files.
