-# newday
+# Simple tool to generate a `today.org` file based on the unfinished TODO's of another orgfile
 
-Tool to create a new day in orgmode
+I use emacs' orgmode to manage my tasks. Everyday I needed to create another orgfile for the next day. With this tool I can automatically create the file and remove the already done tasks.
+
+Use `./neworgday.py -h` for help.
