Simplenote Command Line Interface

sncli is a Python application that gives you access to your Simplenote account via the command line. You can access your notes via a customizable console GUI that implements vi-like keybinds or via a simple command line interface that you can script.

Notes can be viewed/created/edited in both an online and offline mode. All changes are saved to a local cache on disk and automatically sync'ed when sncli is brought online.

Pull requests are welcome!

Check your OS distribution for installation packages.
