Command Line

memrynote,
from the terminal.

Anything you do in memrynote — notes, tasks, journal, calendar, sync — is scriptable from the command line. Local-first, JSON-native, yours to automate.

memrynote
$ memrynote notes create --title "Weekly review"
Created note "Weekly review" (note_7ac1)
$ memrynote --json tasks list --status todo
[{ "title": "Ship the CLI page", "status": "todo" }]

Automate

Fire notes, tasks, and journal entries from scripts, cron jobs, and keyboard shortcuts. Your vault, hands-free.

Pipe & compose

Add --json to any command and pipe memrynote into jq, fzf, or your editor. It composes like every other Unix tool.

Local & private

Every command runs against your local vault. No server round-trip, nothing leaves your machine.

Up and running in a minute

No brew, no npm. The CLI is bundled with the desktop app.

1

Get memrynote for Desktop

The CLI ships inside the desktop app — no separate install, no package manager.

2

Enable it in Settings → Command Line

Toggle the command on and pick a default vault. It drops a memrynote shim on your PATH.

3

Run memrynote in any terminal

That’s it. Every command works against your default vault, or pass --vault to target another.
