TimeMap – terminal-based personal knowledge and task manager

TimeMap is a terminal-based personal knowledge management application that brings together several related activities. It combines a calendar, diary, task list, quick notes and file management into a single interface.

The application uses dates as an organising principle. Tasks, notes and files can be associated with particular days, making it possible to review information alongside the events and commitments to which it relates.

TimeMap is useful for people who prefer maintaining a chronological record of their work and personal activities. Rather than separating tasks, documents and journal entries into unrelated applications, it allows them to be viewed within a shared context.

Tags provide another way to organise information, helping users find connections between activities recorded on different dates. The software also includes statistical views for examining patterns over time.

This is free and open source software.
