Using Linux Tools To Send To DayOne App
Ive started getting back into journaling with DayOne recently. The reason why I like using DayOne is
supper simple. It's a great interface. The sync features is great. It works with IFTTT.
It great with photo journaling. It has a bunch of workflow goodness on the iOS platform using workflow.app
and launch center pro. The problem I do have is that I spend quite a bit of time using my Debian box. I hope
my information is secured in the clouds within DayOne biosphere. In short I love being able to use the app
on my iOS devices. One thing that was bothering me a bit was that I wanted to be able to use it on my computer
which like I said its running Debian. I stumbled awhile ago jrnl. Its a
great way to keep a journal using the command line which is where I like to live. I wanted to send my journal
entries to DayOne from jrnl
which is super easy. On this computer I also setup mutt
with my gmail account. The glue between jrnl
and DayOne is ifttt.com. I have a recipe
that when I send an email to trigger@recipe.ifttt.com
it forwards it to my DayOne journal. The recipe in
question is this one applets.
$ jrnl "Hey look, im using the command line to send to DayOne" $ jrnl -n 1 | mutt -s "command line awesomeness" trigger@recipe.ifttt.com
How cool is that? Maybe I can also send my DayOne entry to jrnl
.
