dijo tracks habits from a terminal and supports scripting and integration with external tools.
About dijo
dijo is a habit tracker that runs in the terminal. It uses a curses-based interface and is modal, with different modes for viewing stats. It is open source and its code is hosted on GitHub.
You can add and delete habits with vim-like commands such as :add and :delete, navigate with hjkl keys, and view habits by day or week. Day mode shows days of the current month, while week mode shows weekly summaries. It can be scripted and connected to external programs to track events automatically, for example git commits. Documentation includes a wiki with getting started, automatic tracking, and command reference pages.
It suits Linux and Windows terminal users who prefer keyboard-driven tools, particularly those familiar with vim motions and those who want to install via cargo, Nix, Snap, or Arch AUR, or use prebuilt binaries from the Releases page.
