dijo is a terminal-based habit tracker for recording recurring activities and examining personal progress. It uses a modal interface with keyboard controls inspired by Vim, making it particularly suitable for users already comfortable with terminal-based editors.
The application displays a calendar-style view of tracked habits, allowing users to examine their completion history and identify patterns over time. Its interface includes separate modes for navigating records and viewing statistical information.
Habits are managed through an interactive command mode. Users can create or remove activities and navigate between dates without switching to a graphical application.
A distinctive feature of dijo is its scripting support. The application can be connected to external programs so that selected activities are recorded automatically. This is useful for tracking actions that already produce information elsewhere, such as Git commits.
This is free and open source software.
