Certainly, but I don't see any automatic way way for a Google calendar reminder to automatically include a previous entry. That would need a Labs or something else more advanced.


The rest of these features are just frills, like replying to an email, or getting a previous random entry.

A simple shellscript does the main job. In fact, mine actually used to do a "tail" of the existing file before prompting me for a new entry, but i found that a bit annoying.

At this point OhLife isn’t doing anything to monetize, but if it can get traction then the team will consider freemium options.
