A Go-based command-line memo (note-taking) tool that creates, lists, edits, greps, and serves markdown notes. It integrates with your favorite editor and grep tools and can preview notes via a built-in HTTP server.

Use cases

• take quick notes from the terminal
• manage markdown memos in a directory
• grep across my notes from the command line
• preview markdown notes in a browser
• create notes with custom templates and YAML frontmatter
• open notes in vim or my preferred editor

When to choose

• you want fast, keyboard-driven note-taking in the terminal
• you prefer plain markdown files stored locally
• you want a lightweight tool that works with existing editors and grep tools

When to avoid

• you need sync across devices or mobile apps
• you want a rich GUI or WYSIWYG note editor
• you need features like backlinks or a knowledge graph
