nncli is a Python application that gives you access to your NextCloud Notes account via the command line. It's a "hard" fork of sncli. You can access your notes via a customizable console GUI that implements vi-like keybinds or via a simple command line interface that you can script.

Notes can be viewed/created/edited in both an online and offline mode. All changes are saved to a local cache on disk and automatically sync'ed when nncli is brought online.

More detailed documentation can be found at the homepage.

Contributing

Pull requests are welcome, preferably via emailed output of git request-pull sent to the maintainer (see here for more information). Bug reports should also be directed to the maintainer via email.

Releases

Release tags will always be signed with the maintainer's PGP key (also available on any public keyserver). PGP-signed versions of release tarballs and pre-built wheel packages are available on PyPI, with the signature files living alongside the corresponding artifact (simply append an .asc extension). Because the maintainers of PyPI do not consider PGP signatures to be a user-facing feature, the extension must be added manually in your browser's URL bar in order to download the signature files.
