halig

(R)age encrypted note-taking CLI app.

halig opens, using your favorite $EDITOR, an in-memory copy of a file and upon save-and-exit, it encrypts the new contents into an age file that you can store, relatively safe, anywhere.

Install

pip install halig

PS: I recommend using pipx instead

Setup TLDR

set -e
ssh-keygen -t ed25519
mkdir -p "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/halig"
cat << EOF > "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/halig/halig.yml"
---
notebooks_root_path: /home/$(id -un)/Documents/Notebooks
identity_path: /home/$(id -un)/.ssh/id_ed25519
recipient_path: /home/$(id -un)/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
EOF

Usage TLDR

halig edit some_notebook     # edit today's note relative to <notebooks_root_path>/some_notebook
halig edit some_notebook/foo # edit  <notebooks_root_path>/some_notebook/foo.age
halig notebooks              # list current notebooks
