cap's Introduction

cap

Quickly capture stream-of-thought text to a timestamped sqlite database.

use

$ cap "some text you want to remember"
# or:
$ echo "some text you want to remember" | cap
# or:
$ some_program_with_useful_output | cap

This inserts the text into a sqlite database that by default lives at ~/cap.db. You can make your own database in any other location, and then alias cap to specify your custom location like cap -l /some/other/location/cap.db. The name of the db is not significant, and is only a default.

You can then view your data with cap_viewer (a simple webapp) or query it like:

$ sqlite3 ~/cap.db
sqlite> SELECT * FROM entries

The schema of the entries table is:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS entries (
  id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
  body TEXT,
  created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
)
