dnote

Dnote provides a command‑line notebook that stores all entries in a single SQLite file, giving users a portable and searchable personal knowledge base that remains completely under their control. The tool supports adding, viewing, and full‑text searching notes directly from the terminal, and it can launch the user’s preferred editor for richer input.

The software includes an optional self‑hosted sync server exposing a REST API, allowing the same notebook to be accessed from multiple devices without relying on third‑party services. The server binary embeds SQLite, so no external database setup is required, and it can be run via Docker or a simple binary installation.

Installation is provided on Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, and Windows through a one‑liner script, Homebrew, or direct binary download, making the single‑binary, dependency‑free application easy to adopt for developers and anyone who prefers a terminal‑centric workflow.
