Jerd

Zero-friction terminal-first tool for keeping a daily journal in plain Markdown.

Webfreeglobal

Jerd is a free, open-source, terminal-first daily journaling tool that opens your preferred editor (Vim, Neovim, nano) for writing and files entries as plain Markdown with no database, with visual navigation for finding entries, a calendar, and a mood graph. It suits developers and terminal users who want a frictionless daily journal that stays in plain text and their own editor rather than a separate GUI app.
