Noteleaf is a unified personal productivity CLI that combines task management, note-taking, and media tracking in one place. It provides TaskWarrior-inspired task management with additional support for notes, articles, books, movies, and TV shows, all built with Golang & Charm.sh libs. Inspired by TaskWarrior & todo.txt CLI applications.

Why?

Fragmented Ecosystem: Instead of juggling multiple apps for tasks, notes, reading lists, and media queues, Noteleaf provides a single CLI interface
Terminal-native: For developers and power users who prefer staying in the terminal, Noteleaf offers rich TUIs without leaving your command line
- Lightweight: No desktop apps or web interfaces, just a fast, focused CLI tool
Unified data model: Tasks, notes, and media items can reference each other, creating a connected knowledge and productivity system

Development

Noteleaf uses Task for build automation. Development builds include additional tooling commands not available in production builds.

Building

# Production build
task build
# Development build (with version info and dev tools)
task build:dev
# Run tests
task test
task cov # ...with coverage

Development Tools

Dev builds (task build:dev) include a tools subcommand with maintenance utilities:

Documentation Generation:

# Generate Docusaurus documentation
noteleaf tools docgen --format docusaurus --out website/docs/manual
# Generate man pages
noteleaf tools docgen --format man --out docs/manual

Data Synchronization:

# Fetch Leaflet lexicons from GitHub
noteleaf tools fetch lexicons
# Fetch from a specific commit
noteleaf tools fetch lexicons --sha abc123def
# Generic GitHub repository archive fetcher
noteleaf tools fetch gh-repo \
  --repo owner/repo \
  --path schemas/ \
  --output local/schemas/

Production builds (task build:rc, task build:prod) use the -tags prod flag to exclude dev tools.
