Vital Offline Information Diary

VOID is an offline diary to be used in the terminal.

I made VOID with these goals in mind:

1. Make something useful for me, and feel accomplished delivering a usable piece of software - at least for myself.
2. Learn Python and SQLite. I wanted to do something different from my regular job and grow my skills - starting with tooling, and now this more UI-heavy piece backed by a database.
3. Practice and get involved in the full life cycle of a project: identify a need or something to improve, then design and develop a solution.

It took me a year to complete this project - this is the third and final repo - I pitched the idea on August 10th, 2025. Life, doubts, and failures get in the way of personal projects. However, looking back at my notes, I learned a lot, and a lot of myself changed along the way.

The project is in its final form, and I can proudly say it's finished. I'll keep improving it, but the core things I wanted to do are delivered.

I made it public so there's proof on the Internet of my work.

The pitch

Track your life, thoughts, and growth without distractions. VOID is a focused personal logging tool built for the terminal. No cloud sync, no notifications, no feature bloat. Just you, your thoughts, and a clean interface to document what truly matters in your life.

How to install

The project is available on PyPI, so you can install it with pipx install voidcli.

How to use

After installation, run void in your terminal.
