Dnote is a simple command line notebook distributed as a single dependency-free binary that stores notes in one portable SQLite file. It offers full-text search, editor integration, and optional multi-device sync via a self-hosted server with REST API access.

Use cases

• quickly save commands and snippets from the terminal
• search notes with full-text search
• sync notes across devices with a self-hosted server
• keep a portable personal knowledge base in SQLite
• access notes programmatically via REST API
• capture terminal knowledge without leaving the shell

When to choose

• you want fast, keyboard-driven note capture in the terminal
• you prefer a single binary with no dependencies
• you want your notes in a portable SQLite file you fully control
• you need optional self-hosted sync with API access

When to avoid

• you need rich-text editing, images, or attachments
• you want a graphical note-taking app
• you need collaborative or shared notebooks
• you want cloud-hosted sync out of the box
