Terminotes is a simple note-taking application that runs in the terminal.
I'm full against the idea of using a note-taking application that requires me to create an account or sign in. I don't want my notes to be stored on a server somewhere. I want them to be stored locally on my machine. That's why I created Terminotes. It's a simple note-taking application that runs in the terminal and stores notes locally on your machine. No need to create an account or sign in.
Also I code on my tablet or phone, and my keyboard is connected, and I need to add a super fast note without opening a browser or an app that requires a lot of resources (And time to open).
So Terminotes is a simple solution for me, and I hope it will be for you too. A very simple terminal app but with the idea of being fast and easy to use.
