hnb is an ncurses program to organize many kinds of data in one place, for example addresses, todo lists, ideas, book reviews or to store snippets of brainstorming, to make a structured packing list or just to take random notes. It can export ascii/html/latex/postscript, supports todo checkboxes, checkbox trees with percentages and searching.

hnb uses a simple ascii file for storing your notes. This file can be specified on the command line. If not specified, ~/.hnb is loaded (or created if missing).

-h, --help

Show summary of options.

-v, --version

Show version of program.

-t, --tutorial

Load the tutorial instead of a database.

-rc <file>

Load an other config file than default.

-ui <curses|cli>

Specify user interface to use.

-e

Run commands in noninteractive mode (start hnb with the cli ui and type `help' to get more information).

~/.hnb

The default file for your notes. To use an other, specify its name on the command line.

~/.hnbrc

The default configuration file. To load an other config file than default, use the -rc command-line option.
