stup - a shell tool for daily notes
Over the past few years I've been participating in Stand-up meetings and it took me some time to find a convenient and effective way for keeping notes about what I was doing every day.
I needed to be able to:
- keep categorized notes on the issues I worked on, the meetings I participated in and stuff that blocked my work etc
- easily access these notes based on their date
- have an overview of what I did for example the last week
- all of the above:
- from inside a terminal
- with the notes strictly bound to the date they are taken
- without having to manually structure and update a single document
- without having to manually create a document for each day
stup
I made this tool which actually is a bash script and I named it stup from the term stand-up.
You can find the project on GitHub here.

Below are some examples showing the most important features of stup.

Notes are organized in categories.
When a new note is added, stup creates a markdown file and places it under the category's directory in a sub-directory with a path based on the date.
CATEGORIES_ROOT_DIRECTORY/CATEGORY/YEAR/MONTH/YYYY-MM-DD.md# For example, the notes of a category named "programming" April 18th, 2020 are saved underCATEGORIES_ROOT_DIRECTORY/programming/2020/04/2020-04-18.mdThis allows users to retrieve any notes added on a specific date or in a specific period for a specific or for all categories.
# Fetch notes for all categories$ stup show @ 2020-04-18# Fetch notes for a specific category for previous week$ stup log previous-week -c programming# Fetch notes for all categories for a specific period$ stup log --from 2020-04-01 --to 2020-04-15You can find the full documentation with usage examples on the project's repository and more information about features to be added in the project's GitHub issues page.
