TimeMap – personal knowledge tool

TimeMap is a terminal-based personal knowledge management tool that combines a Calendar, Diary, Todo List, Quick Note, File Manager and Tags into a single, cohesive TUI (Text User Interface).

It helps you map your life by linking files, notes, and tasks to specific dates, visualizing connections through tags, and exploring your data.

This is free and open source software.

  • Task Management: Integrated Todo lists with progress tracking.
  • File Linking: Link external files (PDFs, Images) to dates for easy retrieval.
  • Tagging System: Tag any item and filter by context.
  • Statistics: View yearly trends for your productivity and moods.
