tootlogger

Journal your toots to DayOne

Take all your toots and make a DayOne journal entry.

This saves the last seen toot id so subsequent runs will only show all the toots since then. If you miss a day of running this it, it will back fill up to the pagination limit.

Install

1. Ensure you have at least Python 3.7 on your Mac
   • homebrew makes this easy with brew install python
2. Install the DayOne Command Line Interface
3. Install tootlogger with python3 -m pip install tootlogger

Setup

You will need to manually generate your access token and create a config file

1. Log into your mastodon instance
2. go to /settings/applications and create the new app
   • read is the only checkbox needed
3. Note down the access_token
4. Repeat this for all accounts you want to log
5. Create a config file like the example below (or in this repo) in one of two places
   1. $HOME/.tootlogger.toml
   2. tootlogger.toml in the local directory you run the command from

Config file

["account_name"]
instance = "https://mastodon.social"
access_token = "really big string"
["cool account @ hachyderm.io"]
instance = "https://hachyderm.io"
access_token = "different big string"

Usage
