Dnote

Dnote provides a terminal‑centric way to capture commands, code snippets, and other notes without leaving the command line. Users create and edit entries with any preferred editor, and all data is stored in a single SQLite file, allowing straightforward backup, migration, and querying with standard tools. The binary includes built‑in full‑text search, so users can retrieve information quickly without scrolling through shell history.

The tool can be paired with a self‑hosted server that exposes a REST API, enabling synchronization of the same SQLite store across multiple devices. The server runs as a single binary or Docker container, requiring no external database setup. This makes it suitable for developers who work on several machines and want a consistent, searchable knowledge base.

Dnote is cross‑platform, offering binaries for macOS, Linux, FreeBSD, and Windows, and can be installed via Homebrew or direct download. It has been free and open source since 2017, with its source code publicly available for inspection, contribution, or for.
