Jern is a terminal-based journaling tool that provides basic encryption for your personal entries. It uses AES-128 encryption with a random initialization vector (IV) to protect your journal entries from casual discovery.

The encryption implementation in Jern is designed for basic privacy and should not be considered cryptographically secure. It provides a deterrent against casual snooping but should not be relied upon for highly sensitive information.

Simply place Jern in a folder or the root of a USB drive, and run the application. It will create an entries folder automatically, where auto-generated entries (ones based on the current date) will appear. Your directory structure will look like this after first run:

Feel free to submit issues and pull requests! I'm open to new ideas or features. But please keep in mind, I'd like to keep Jern portable.
