Dayplanner

Dayplanner v2.0.0 — a productivity toolkit for managing tasks, plans, reviews, streaks, reminders, and more from the command line.

Commands

Run via: bash scripts/script.sh <command> [args]

Each data command (add, plan, track, etc.) works in two modes:

• With arguments: saves the input with a timestamp to its dedicated log file.
• Without arguments: displays the 20 most recent entries from that log.

Data Storage

All data is stored locally in ~/.local/share/dayplanner/:

• Each command has its own log file (e.g., add.log, plan.log, track.log)
• Entries are saved in timestamp|value format
• A unified history.log records all activity across commands
• Export files are written to the same directory

Requirements

• Bash (standard system shell)
• No external dependencies — uses only coreutils (date, wc, du, grep, tail, cat)

When to Use

• When you need to quickly add tasks, plans, or notes from the terminal
• To track daily habits and streaks without leaving the command line
• For end-of-day or weekly reviews and reflections
• To search through past entries by keyword
• To export your productivity data for analysis or backup
• When you want a lightweight, file-based task management system

Examples

# Add a task
dayplanner add "Finish the quarterly report by Friday"

# Create a plan for the day
dayplanner plan "Morning: deep work on API. Afternoon: code review."

# Track a habit
dayplanner track "Meditated for 20 minutes"
