📝 Notes-CLI

A lightweight, offline-first command-line notes manager built with Python — no external dependencies required.

📌 About

Notes-CLI is a terminal-based note-taking application that lets you create, read, search, update, and delete text notes — all stored locally as .txt files. No internet connection, no database, no third-party libraries needed. Just Python and your filesystem.

Built as a hands-on project to practice file I/O, modular function design, and CLI application architecture in Python.
