## What it is
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
