Knowledge Base (CLI)

A local-first command-line knowledge base built with Python and SQLite.

This tool is for developers who are constantly learning new tools, APIs, and frameworks and want a fast, simple place to store and retrieve notes — without cloud lock-in or heavy UIs.

Why This Exists

Over time, notes end up scattered across:

• Notion
• Apple Notes
• Markdown files
• Browser bookmarks

This project is a focused alternative:

• No sync
• No accounts
• No graphs
• No WYSIWYG
• Just fast capture and retrieval from the command line

Features

• Add notes from the CLI
• List all entries
• View a specific entry
• Search by keyword
• Delete entries
• Export notes to Markdown
• Local SQLite database (your data stays on your machine)
