#Fern

fern is a swiss-army knife for your notetaking and personal knowledge management. Fern is a commandline tool to manage, curate, and search a vault of your personal notes. It offers an alternative to heavier GUI-based notetaking management applications. It was designed for systems that are resource constrained or for users that value the privacy and security of their data.

Fern has support for daily Journals (think a Engineer's log), Templates, and Bookmarking Notes. It has a RegEx compatable full-text search of Notes to find records in your Vault.
