## What it is
PenX is an open-source, local-first, privacy-first personal data hub for storing and managing structured data with AI-driven features. It is a cross-platform desktop and web application built with Next.js, tRPC, Prisma, and PGLite.

## Use cases
- store structured personal data locally with privacy
- take notes with a local-first app
- sync personal data across devices in realtime
- manage a personal knowledge base with AI assistance
- self-host a private alternative to note-taking apps

## When to choose
- you want local-first, privacy-first data storage
- you need cross-platform note-taking with realtime sync
- you want an open-source personal data hub with AI features

## When to avoid
- you need a mature product with a clear license for commercial use
- you require team collaboration features rather than personal data management
- you want a fully cloud-hosted managed service
