+# Homework CLI
+
+Command line interface for [Homework](github.com/fazo96/homework).
+
+## Setup
+
+1. Install using `npm install -g homework`
+2. Run with the `homework` command
+
+- By default, _homework-cli_ connects to homework.meteor.com, but you can customize the url.
+- An account with an _API key_ is required to access the __RESTful API__ used by this tool. The __API__ must also be enabled on the Homework server.
+
+__Please Note__: as of the time of writing, [Homework](github.com/fazo96/homework) only has experimental __RESTful API__ support, so this tool can't yet be used easily with homework.meteor.com.
+
+## Usage
+
+    Usage: homework [command] [arguments]
+
+    interact with a running instance of Homework (by default homework.meteor.com)
+
+    Commands:
+
+      new [options] <title> [content]  create a new note
+      delete <ids...>                  delete one or more notes
+
+    Options:
+
+      -h, --help            output usage information
+      -V, --version         output the version number
+      -k, --key <apikey>    use given api key
+      -u, --url <endpoint>  use given api endpoint instead of http://homework.meteor.com/api
+      -v, --verbose         be more verbose
+      -i, --id              show item IDs
+      -s, --silent          don't print note list
+      -a, --archived        view archived notes
+
+If running with no _commands_, the tool will show your list of notes ordered by due date, just like the web interface.
