NextCloud Notes Command Line Interface

PyPI - License PyPI

nncli is a Python application that gives you access to your NextCloud Notes account via the command line. It’s a “hard” fork of sncli. You can access your notes via a customizable console GUI that implements vi-like keybinds or via a simple command line interface that you can script.

Notes can be viewed/created/edited in both an online and offline mode. All changes are saved to a local cache on disk and automatically sync’ed when nncli is brought online.

More detailed documentation can be found at the homepage.

Installation

Assuming your system has both python3 and pip3, you can globally install nncli and its dependencies with pip3 install nncli.

If you are interested in packaging nncli for various distributions, please consult the file CONTRIBUTING.rst in this repository and reach out to the mailing list with any questions.
