Dia

Have you ever spent a long day at work, only to wonder at the end of it what you actually got done? Do you wish you remembered why you made a decision way back when? Do you want to find the day you worked on a specific thing, but haven't left any trace?

Dia solves all those problems by helping you keep a work diary.

Installation

Installing Dia is simple. You can use pipx (recommended):

$ pipx install dia

Or pip (less recommended):

$ pip install dia

Usage

To log a task you've completed, you can use dia log:

$ dia log "Completed the diary feature."

This will generate the following log.txt in the current directory (or append to it if it already exists):

Work diary

* Completed the diary feature.

Semantic tags

Dia supports (though currently very tenuously) semantic tags. This means it can understand people, projects, and tags. For example, you can say:

$ dia log "Worked on the %Dia #data-model with @JohnK."
