Minimal local-first notes for projects, tasks, boards, calendars, and markdown. Gimji stores everything in a folder you choose, so your workspace stays plain, portable, and easy to back up.

Quick Start

Open or create a workspace folder from the sidebar. Add notes, add tabs, and edit content directly. Gimji saves metadata in config.json and tab content in separate files under content/.

Arch Linux

Gimji is available from the AUR as gimji.

paru -S gimji
# or
yay -S gimji

Build

The binary is written to target/release/gimji.

S3 Backups

S3 support is optional. Build with all features to enable it:

cargo build --release --all-features

You can pre-fill the S3 form with environment variables:

export GIMJI_S3_BUCKET=storage
export GIMJI_S3_REGION=us-east-1
export GIMJI_S3_ENDPOINT=http://127.0.0.1:9000
export GIMJI_S3_PREFIX=gimji1
export GIMJI_S3_ACCESS_KEY=minioadmin
export GIMJI_S3_SECRET_KEY=minioadmin

Open the S3 section in the sidebar, test the connection, then use Backup or Restore.

Optional in GIMJI_S3_PREFIX use a different prefix, such as gimji1, gimji2, or a project name, to keep multiple Gimji workspaces separate while sharing one S3 bucket.
