About
driftlog started in early 2024 as a weekend tool to scratch a personal itch: a journal that's just text, with search that doesn't make me wait.
Philosophy
- Own your data. Plain Markdown files, no database, no account. You should be able to read your journal with
catin twenty years. - Small and sharp. A handful of commands that do one thing each. No plugin system, no GUI, no scope creep.
- Fast. Opening, writing, and finding an entry should feel instant, even at tens of thousands of entries.
- Private. Nothing phones home. Optional encryption-at-rest for anything sensitive.
