✨ Day Planner 💖 — the manual page (yes, it's Day Planner(1), bestie)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Day Planner — a simple Day Planner for Gtk2/GNOME. That's the whole vibe, honestly. A planner. For your day. Iconic behaviour.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

dayplanner [OPTIONS]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so Day Planner is literally a program built to help you plan and manage your time without losing your mind. It handles appointments, birthdays and more, and it makes sure you actually remember your appointments by showing you reminders. Like, it's giving personal assistant energy, but free, and it lives on your computer. 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h, --help — pops up the help screen. Use it, bestie, no shame.
  • -v, --version — shows you the version info.
  • -d, --debuginfo — spits out info that's useful for debugging. If you're filing a bug report, you should include the output of this command with it. Fr fr, they need it.
  • -t, --test N — starts Day Planner in "test" mode. This boots up an instance that's completely separate from your real one, so no data gets touched. Mainly useful for testing unstable versions of Day Planner. 🧪

--test can take an optional argument (N), which is a number. That number picks which test instance to use, so you can have a whole bunch of different instances for different purposes. Multitasking queen.

  • --confdir DIR — use the directory DIR instead of the default Day Planner configuration directory. See also --test.
  • -s, --shutdaemon — shuts down the Day Planner daemon when you close Day Planner.
  • --nodaemon — runs Day Planner without the Day Planner daemon. Handy on systems where memory is low, primarily embedded systems.
⚠️ Be somewhat careful running in this mode, because the daemon is the component that launches the notifier. If it isn't running, then you won't receive any notifications. And then you'll miss your appointments and be sad. 😭
  • --exportical FILE — exports Day Planner calendar data in the iCalendar format to FILE.
  • --importical FILE — imports iCalendar data from FILE.
  • --exporthtml DIR — exports Day Planner data as HTML to DIR.
🫶 DIR should be empty before you issue this command — although, ngl, Day Planner will happily overwrite data in the directory if it isn't. So like… be careful.

🍓 FILES 🍓

CONFDIR is XDG_CONFIG_PATH/dayplanner by default. XDG_CONFIG_PATH is ~/.config by default. So on most installations CONFDIR is ~/.config/dayplanner/. Wanna see which path this install is actually using? Run --debuginfo, it'll tell you. ✨

These paths get altered by the --confdir and --test commandline arguments.

  • CONFDIR/dayplanner.conf — the configuration file.
  • CONFDIR/calendar.ics — the calendar file.
  • CONFDIR/state.conf — the internal state file. You should not edit this. 🙈
  • CONFDIR/holidays — the holiday definitions file. Feel free to edit it! Go off. 💅
  • CONFDIR/daemon_state.conf — the daemon's internal state file. You really should not edit this.
  • CONFDIR/daemon.log CONFDIR/services.log — the daemon and services logfiles. The latter may not exist on some setups.
  • CONFDIR/Daemon_Socket CONFDIR/ipcsocket — the daemon's communication socket, and Day Planner's IPC sockett.
