PyPI

Diary file template generator, producing text files in Markdown format.

I use this personally to keep a simple monthly diary of my notes and activities. Since it just produces a series of text files, they can be stored in something like Dropbox, and synced everywhere easily.

Screenshot of typical usage

Installation

pip install markdown-diary

How to use

pip install adds the command md-diary to your /bin PATH so you can run it directly from the command line.

Run md-diary for help.

For a single month

Run md-diary YYYY-mm (e.g. md-diary 2019-01) which will create a file called 01 January.md

The format looks like:

# January



## Week 1

### Tue 1


### Wed 2


### Thu 3


### Fri 4




## Week 2

### Mon 7


### Tue 8
...

For a whole year

Like above, but run md-diary YYYY (e.g. md-diary 20202) which will create the files 01 January.md, 02 February.md, ... in the current directory.

Options

Use the -w flag to output weekdays only.
