Data Storage

All data is stored locally in ~/.local/share/diary/:

• Activity history: history.log — global log of all operations with timestamps
• Exports: export.json, export.csv, or export.txt (generated on demand)

Each entry is stored as YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM|<value> with pipe-delimited fields.

Requirements

• bash 4+
• grep, wc, du, tail, head, cat, date, basename (standard coreutils)
• No external dependencies

When to Use

1. Daily work journaling — Use add throughout the day to capture what you did, decisions made, and things learned
2. Sprint planning and retros — Combine plan, review, and weekly-review for agile workflow documentation
3. Habit tracking — Use track and streak to build accountability for daily habits (exercise, reading, coding)
4. Priority management — Log priority decisions with prioritize and set follow-ups with remind
5. Long-term reflection — Export monthly data with export json and use timeline to mark significant milestones
