A minimalist command line app for life logging.

Requirements

• Python 2.7
• OSX or Linux
• Basic knowledge of how to use the command line

Installing

You can install wid with either pip or easy_install, I like pip:

$ pip install whatidid

Getting started

You will need to initialize the ~/.widrc file and get your database structure setup before you can use the application.

$ wid init

Commands

You can update your updates by using wid update command:

$ wid update -m "This is my status" -t tag1,tag2,tag3

You can list all of your updates by using the wid update-show command:

$ wid update-show
Monday: This is my status
Tuesday: Did something

You can list all of your updates from a specific week by using the -w flag:

$ wid update-show -w 46
Monday: I did this
Tuesday: tag1,tag2: This is what I did today
Tuesday: tag1: I did something else

You can email someone by the wid-update-mail command:

$ wid-update-mail user@example.com

Note: This will be moved into the wid command soonish.

You can item your todo by using wid todo command:

$ wid todo -m "This is what I need to do"

You can list all of your todos by using the wid todo-show command:

$ wid todo-show
d7d30320a8663cc5c41fbf510fe2cd72: something i need to do
b39b4ffa530441de3b09c362942742ab: something else i need to do

Configuration

All of the configuration options live in the ~/.widrc file.
