Show HN: A CLI for Confidential Journaling the Speed of Thought

3 points

2 years ago

My mom or other people kept finding my diary because I carried it around. Traditional journaling apps were too slow for capturing my thoughts effectively. That's why I created something new—fast, private journaling that keeps my thoughts safe from prying eyes. Welcome to a diary as quick as your thoughts and as private as your mind.

This CLI lets you journal super quickly without anyone discovering your thoughts, thanks to its strong AES encryption.

Features:

- Protects your posts using AES-256 encryption - Ensures only you can access the journal - Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows - Create, view, edit, and delete journal entries - Easily find posts by keywords or dates - Supports terminal-based text editors for seamless writing - View posts by year and month for easy navigation - Perform specific actions directly from the terminal

To install it, run: npm install -g secret-journal
