I am developing a CLI-PIM suite (commandline personal information management suite) called imag[1].

The goal of the tool is to use known commandline tools (for example taskwarrior (todo), khal (icalendar), khard (vcard), beancount (financial data), mutt (Maildir actually) and so on) and give the user the possibility to (semantically) connect the data of these tools. Then, one can do data mining on PIM data.

imag[1] is in pre-alpha shape and only few things are there by now. 3 days ago I released version 0.2.0 with tools (we call them "modules") for the following "pim aspects": bookmark, counter (this was a first example module), diary, link (to semantically link data), notes, ref (to refer to files outside of the "imag store"), store (to do plumbing in the "imag store"), tag (to add tags to data), todo (basic integration for taskwarrior) and view (to view entries from the "imag store").

As said, we are in a really early stage of development and only few things are there yet. This is a hobby project I'm working on in my free time (also to learn Rust) and I only can make progress if I have enough time to do things.

I also write blog[2] articles about imag every two weeks about what's currently going on in the codebase. Read about a use-case I'm thinking about in one of my blog posts[3] - and yes, these are really ambitious goals!

Feel free to ask questions!
