clog 🔐📓

clog is a secure, terminal-based note-keeping/daily-diary application — designed to give you a fast, keyboard-driven interface and complete privacy for all your data.

✨ Features

• 🖥️ Terminal UI: Navigate users, folders, and files completely via keyboard.
• 🔒 End-to-End Encrypted:
  • All metadata and files are encrypted with your password.
  • Each file uses a unique encryption key and nonce.
• 📦 Portable: All notes live in a single .clog file.
• 🧠 Built-in Editor Support: Uses Vim, Nano, or your system’s default editor.
• 💻 Cross-platform binaries auto-downloaded at install time.

🚀 Installation

npm install -g clog

This installs a platform-specific prebuilt binary from GitHub and makes it available via the clog command.

🔐 Security Model

• Password-protected: Everything is encrypted — even folder/file names.
• No recovery: If you lose your password, there's no way to recover data.
• Virtual filesystem: Simulates folder/file structure inside a .clog blob.

📁 Data Storage

Encrypted notes are saved in a single .clog file at:

| OS | Path | |---------|------| | Linux | ~/.local/share/com.levi.clog/<username>.clog | | macOS | ~/Library/Application Support/com.levi.clog/<username>.clog | | Windows | C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\levi\clog\data\<username>.clog |

You can copy/move this file between systems. Just run clog and it will detect it.
