## What is this? ##
With pen you can have notes everywhere. At least on every unix machine. What makes it special is that it is “only“ a command line application. Therefore you can even run it on your own server. Pen has a minimalistic interface; notes can be added and grouped in a simple manner.

## Installation
It’s as simple as that:
$ pip install penpal
Unfortunately pen was already taken.
## Usage
pen all - List all notes recursively.
pen create <list> - Create a list.
pen delete <list> (<note>) - Delete a list or note.
pen help - Displays pen help
pen help <command> - Displays help for a command.
## Advanced
pen stores all its data (with zlib compression) in the file ~/.pen. You are free to do whatever you want with the data in that file, it is yours after all.
You can also change the path of the storage file:
pen path <new_path> - Either prints the current storage path or sets a new one.
So go out there and hack some code!
## Features ##
Minimalistic and simple note editor.
Automatic saving when closed.
Create lists to group notes.
Put the storage file wherever you want. (Supports Dropbox & co)
