# strea.md
![The Strea.md-Logo: A tag on an endless paper roll](./streamd.svg)
Strea.md is a personal knowledge management and time-tracking CLI tool. It organizes time-ordered markdown files using `@tag` annotations, letting you manage tasks, track time, and query your notes from the terminal.
## Core Concepts
- **Shards** — Sections of markdown files, organized hierarchically by headings. Each shard can contain markers, tags, and nested child shards.
- **Markers** — Special `@tags` like `@Task`, `@Done`, `@Waiting`, or `@Timesheet` that give shards semantic meaning and place them into dimensions.
- **Dimensions** — Classification axes (e.g. task state, project, timesheet) that categorize shards. Some dimensions propagate to child shards.
## File Format
Markdown files are named with a timestamp: `YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS [markers].md`
For example: `20260131-210000 Task Streamd.md`
Within files, `@`-prefixed markers at the beginning of paragraphs or headings define how a shard is categorized.
## Commands
- `streamd` / `streamd new` — Create a new timestamped markdown entry, opening your editor
- `streamd todo` — Show all open tasks (shards with `@Task` markers)
- `streamd edit [number]` — Edit a stream file by index (most recent first)
- `streamd timesheet` — Generate time reports from `@Timesheet` markers
## Configuration
### User Configuration
Streamd reads its user configuration from `~/.config/streamd/config.toml` (XDG standard). The main setting is `base_folder`, which points to the directory containing your stream files (defaults to the current working directory).
### Repository Configuration
For timesheet reporting, create a `.streamd.toml` file in your stream files directory:
```toml
timezone = "Europe/Berlin" # Optional: timezone for day boundaries
[timesheet]
[[timesheet.periods]]
start = "2026-01-01"
end = "2026-06-30"
hours_per_week = 38.0
[[timesheet.periods]]
start = "2026-07-01"
end = "2026-12-31"
hours_per_week = 40.0
```
The timesheet command will calculate expected vs actual working hours based on these periods, showing:
- Daily breakdown with expected/actual hours
- Special day types (sick leave, vacation, holidays, flex days)
- Warnings for missing entries and overlapping timecards
- Monthly and cumulative balance
## Usage
Running `streamd` opens your editor to create a new entry. After saving, the file is renamed based on its timestamp and any markers found in the content.
Running `streamd todo` finds all shards marked as open tasks and displays them as rich-formatted panels in your terminal.
