memor-client

Memor is an application that allows you to easily store and retrieve small portions of data, like URLs, names or document numbers, while allowing you to share your collection with others or sync between computers.

# Add a new items:
$ memor + "memor" apps posix cli
$ memor + "+55 41 0800-0800" phone-number example-service

# See all items:
$ memor /
1 %%% memor %%% app posix cli
2 %%% +55 41 0800-0800 %%% phone-number example-service

# Search by tag:
$ memor / posix
1 %%% memor %%% app posix cli

How it works

Memor works with collections, that is, collections of items. Each item being composed of an ID, a term and its tags. Like these:

1 | http://example.com | web example tests
2 | memor | applications notes open-source python

You can create a private or public collection (but there's nothing on the server preventing you from sharing your private collection ID (a slug) with someone you trust).

The only real difference between a public and a private collection is that usually public ones receive pretty names, something human-readable, easy to remember, while private ones will focus on security and try to be a long string of really random characters.

Memor server security model

The security model of Memor server is 100% transparent: it's up to the client to come up with a safe ID for its collection.

This memor-client generates 64-long random strings as IDs for "private" collections. If you think about it, it's harder to guess than most passwords used out there (the chance of guessing right is one in a number with 91 digits).

Requirements

• A POSIX-compliant operating system
• Python >= 3.8
• pip (Python's package manager)

Installation

pip install git+https://github.com/cleberzavadniak/memor

Setup

Before using the program, you must set it up in your machine:

memor setup

Usage

Add an item:

memor + "some thing you want to save" tag1 tag2 tag3 [...]

List all items:

memor /

Search by tags (AND):

memor / tag-1 tag-2 tag-3

Search by tags (OR):

memor / tag-1 / tag-2 / tag-3

Search by tags (AND + OR):

memor / tag-1 tag-2 / tag-alfa tag-beta

Search by tags, only in your collection:

memor ./ tag-1 tag-2

Search by tags with JSON output:

memor // tag-1

Search by tags, only in your collection, with JSON output:

memor .// tag-1

Sharing your collection with other people

Simply send them your collection ID and they can subscribe to it using the memor sub command (and memor sync afterwards).

Keeping more than one collection

Set a MEMOR_DATA_DIR environment variable pointing to a new directory where memor should save its data.

You could use an alias in your shell, for instance, like this:

alias memor-public='MEMOR_DATA_DIR=$HOME/.config/memor/public memor'
