A hierarchical note jotter - organise your ideas, notes, facts in a tree

Website

Description

gjots2(1) is a simple jotter application for your desktop - an outline processor.

You can use gjots2(1) to organise your jottings into a tree structure,

adding thoughts and miscellany as you go. You can get it to spit out

HTML, XML, postscript, pdf, man etc etc (see the online manual for an

example of the HTML conversion).

You can use it to "mind-map" your compositions - write down all your

thoughts and then start organising them into a tree. By manipulating

the tree you can easily reorder your thoughts and structure them

appropriately. I use it for all my notes on Unix, my personal bits and

pieces, recipes and even PINs and passwords. I also use it to write

DOCBOOK XML documents.

gjots2(1) supports the use of ccrypt(1), gpg(1) and openssl(1) to

encrypt and decrypt files. Just make sure the encryption packages that

you want to use are installed as they are not all a standard part of

all Linux distributions.
