REDNOTEBOOK(1)

💖 REDNOTEBOOK 💖

okay bestie, buckle up, this is the rednotebook manual page — a daily journal with calendar, templates and keyword searching, and yes it's as cute as it sounds 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

rednotebook [options] [journal-path]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

RedNotebook is a desktop diary, and the whole point of it is making it stupid easy for you to keep track of the stuff you do and the thoughts you have. fr fr. This journal software helps you write whole passages or just quick little facts, and it does it all in style 💅✨

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

• --date=DATE — opens RedNotebook straight up on the date you picked (format is YYYY-MM-DD, no cap)
• -h, --help — shows the help text and then dips out 👋
• --version — shows the version number and exits, that's it, that's the whole job

📓 about journal-path 📓

so journal-path can be any one of these three vibes:

• an absolute path (e.g. /home/username/myjournal)
• a relative path (e.g. ../dir/myjournal)
• the name of a directory sitting under $HOME/.rednotebook/ (e.g. myjournal)

If you don't pass journal-path at all, it just uses the last session's journal. and on the very first program start, that defaults to $HOME/.rednotebook/data 🫶

Configuration lives in the file ~/.rednotebook/configuration.cfg — that's where all the settings are stored, periodt.

⭐ FILES ⭐

• /usr/bin/rednotebook — the RedNotebook executable 👑
• ~/.rednotebook — per-user configuration and notebooks 🌈
