𝑓𝑓

A distributed note taker and task manager.

What's the big deal?

1. 𝑓𝑓 synchronizes via any file sync application, like git, Yandex.Disk, Dropbox, or Google Drive.
2. 𝑓𝑓 is available offline and synchronizes without conflicts thanks to CRDT and RON.

Stability

Works on all my computers and synchronizes between them successfully. 𝑓𝑓's own issues are tracked in 𝑓𝑓 since the first day of development. I also use 𝑓𝑓 for my personal tasks since the first day of development. Please feel free to test it in your environment. But no guarantees.

Project-based task management

𝑓𝑓 detects if it is run inside a git repository and saves notes in it. Other VCS will be supported in future. Feel free to open a ticket if you want to extend support.

Get started

Personal

To save personal notes and tasks somewhere you must configure 𝑓𝑓's data directory

ff config dataDir --help

If you use Yandex.Disk, you can say just

ff config dataDir -y

Project-based

To work with a project's tasks, just run 𝑓𝑓 inside a VCS repository.

$ ls
.git
$ ff add ...
$ ls
.ff .git
$ git add .ff

Get some unfinished tasks

$ ff
Actual:
    * buy milk
      id 458a1456lrc-12z3opnykw, start 2018-01-10

Add new task or note

$ ff add 'learn Haskell'

Now you can find it in your agenda:

$ ff
Actual:
    * buy milk
      id 458a1456lrc-12z3opnykw, start 2018-01-10
    * learn Haskell
      id 459h2tqxutq-24nuhr86ae, start 2018-01-14

Mark task done

Marking done is actually moving to archive.

$ ff done 458a1456lrc-12z3opnykw
archived:
    buy milk
    id 458a1456lrc-12z3opnykw, start 2018-01-10

Archived tasks don't appear in an agenda:

$ ff
Actual:
    * learn Haskell
      id 459h2tqxutq-24nuhr86ae, start 2018-01-14
