The\nprimary use case is receiving text from external sources — e.g. transcriptions\nfrom [handy.computer](https://handy.computer) — and collecting them in one\nplace for review and editing.\n\nIt provides a GUI editor backed by an in-memory buffer and a Unix socket RPC\ninterface, so other programs and scripts can programmatically append or prepend\ntext to the buffer. The `--focus` flag can be\nused to automatically raise the window when new text arrives via RPC.\n\nNotes are not persisted to disk — the buffer lives only as long as the GUI\nwindow is open.\n\n## Usage\n\nOpen a session (defaults to `--session default`):\n\n```sh\ndpc-note-taker\n```\n\nOpen a named session:\n\n```sh\ndpc-note-taker --session my-notes\n```\n\nAppend text from stdin to a running session (or start a new one):\n\n```sh\necho \"hello\" | dpc-note-taker --session my-notes append\n```\n\nPrepend text:\n\n```sh\necho \"header\" | dpc-note-taker --session my-notes prepend\n```\n\n### RPC options\n\nThese flags control behavior when text is appended/prepended via RPC:\n\n- `--focus` — raise the window and grab focus\n- `--scroll` — scroll the editor to the inserted text\n- `--select` — select the inserted text\n\n```sh\necho \"hello\" | dpc-note-taker --focus --scroll --select append\n```\n\n## How it works\n\nEach session is identified by name and gets a Unix socket at\n`$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/dpc-note-taker/\u003csession\u003e.sock`. When `append` or `prepend`\nis invoked:\n\n- If a GUI instance for the session is already running, the text is sent via\n  a simple JSON RPC over the socket.\n- If no instance is running, a new GUI window opens with the piped text as\n  initial content.\n\nThe editor is a full multiline text widget — you can freely edit the captured\nnotes.\n\n## AI usage disclosure\n\n[I use LLMs when working on my projects.](https://dpc.pw/posts/personal-ai-usage-disclosure/)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdpc%2Fdpc-note-taker","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdpc%2Fdpc-note-taker","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdpc%2Fdpc-note-taker/lists"}
