evernote-jeeves

This command-line Ruby script searches for a given search string S in all notes updated in the last N days, and displays all lines containing that search string, along with some useful note and folder context metadata.

Use Case

I use Evernote all day long at work, sometimes making a dozen notes in a day. I've developed a TODO habit, where I'll write something like this in a note:

TODO Follow-up with Bob regarding the FY15 budgets

Problem is, at the end of the day or week, I'll have to hunt back through all of my notes to find my TODOs. So I wrote a script to help.
