I had a similar insight some years ago. I write my TODOs mixed with text in markdown notes and use a CLI to do nice things like exploration and journaling. It purposefully doesn't have any state besides the notes in itself.

Lately I'm rarely using it because most of the things that I really have to do (work) are on my email inbox or containerized in project dirs. And for the later I just run 'rg "TODO:"' in the project dir.

I didn't know about rg, how does it compare to ag?

AFAIK ripgrep is faster. Haven't used ag much so I can't compare features.
