I built aeph, a small TUI app for jotting down notes and TODOs in Markdown without leaving the terminal.

The idea was inspired by Ephe (https://github.com/epheapp/ephe). I liked the concept of using Markdown as a kind of "paper notebook" for notes and tasks. It felt simple and flexible.

I wanted something similar but that could live entirely in the terminal, since I spend most of my time there.

aeph treats Markdown files like a notebook:

* write quick notes with md support * manage TODO checkboxes

It's written in Rust and uses a minimal TUI.

Interestingly, after a Japanese blog post introduced it, the npm package was downloaded a few thousand times. That made me curious how useful this idea might be for a broader developer audience.

I'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback.
